Alec Lloyd, Cowpuncher

Cupid is the name of Alec Lloyd, a cowboy, who, besides being a philosopher and sentimentalist, has a local reputation as a matchmaker. The narrative comes from him and is in dialect.  This is a collection of stories loosely strung together about an Oklahoma cowboy with romance on his mind. Known to one and all as “Cupid” Lloyd, he likes to match up folks he thinks would make good couples. A matchmaking cowboy is an odd premise for a book of fiction, but given Lloyd’s lack of prospects for marriage himself, there is poignance in his situation and potential for serio-comic developments.
