Captain Otter is in search of the elusive land of Ottery St. Mary!

The children’s book tells the tale of how Captain Otter built a ragtag crew of river animals to sail the open ocean! The story also reminds us all that sometimes, the journey is more important than the destination.

THE CHEF

THE MUSCLE

THE CAPTAIN

THE BOOM

THE BRAINS

From the start, I knew the crew would be made up of an otter, a bear, an alligator, and a heron due to their love of rivers!

“Our Word” is an essential part of the podcast musical 36 Questions.

The song is sung by the character Judith Ford. In the song, she recounts her parents teaching her how to lie.

Juliet is younger than Romeo.

Juliet is opinionated and expressive.

Juliet is hopeful about her new love.

Freddie is a storyteller at heart. He plays guitar, fiddle, piano, and will sing for anyone willing to listen.

He is the narrator of our story and the catalyst for the adventure.

Without Freddie’s heartbreak, there would be nothing to talk about.

Here’s hoping Freddie finds something out West that will fill the hole Madalyn Summers left behind.

Colt is a bounty hunter hired by Freddie to track down his missing fiance.

Colt has spent a majority of his life alone and wandering the wild West. His experiences have hardened him, but once you look past the calluses, you’ll find a tender man hoping for a companion.

People often make the mistake of assuming Freddie is the jokester of the two, when in reality, no one loves to crack a smile more than Colt.

“Don’t know a lot about Madalyn Summers if I’m being honest…

Last anyone heard she left Mr. Applegate in the dead of night. Darn shame too, heard the boy just proposed!”
