On-the-Road Ramblings Result in Riveting Read!
Travel enthusiasts of all kinds-whether they are of an adventurous nature or simply the armchair variety-will be delighted by this engaging new book. Raining Rum: and Other Short Stories to Drink to. is chock full of anecdotal short stories from author and world-traveler Bobbo Jetmundsen. Based on trips he's taken in real life, these fictional tales will inspire and entertain you.
Bobbo, in spite of the many exotic locales he's visited, remains a southerner at heart. This is reflected in stories such as "Down on the Bayou," "High on the Hog," and "Some Yankees Jez Don't Know." He travels far beyond his beloved South to Amsterdam for "Fjord Lost" and France for "Piano Man, Paris." Some narratives, like the lovely "Red Sky at Night," use sight and sound as their main characters. Others, such as "Palms Away," capture the essence of generosity and friendship.
All are engaging, many are funny, some are whimsical-and with each, you'll glimpse into a world that is new and fresh. Bobbo's creative musings will amuse you-and they may even motivate you to hit the road yourself!
