Riding a Bus in Mexico

While planning my novel, Riding a Bus in Mexico, I knew that the protagonist, Peri, would need a friend so I created Sudie, who brings to life one of my real life experiences. Sudie becomes Peri’s sidekick, especially when she needs rescued from Joe’s constant sling of passive-aggressiveness. Sudie is a fun-loving, young woman entrepreneur, who owns a bakery and refers to her business during most conversations. 

Scene

“I first discovered chocolate mousse at Edward’s Mansion while driving on 
the I-10 in Redlands. You couldn’t miss it. It was a three story Victorian, with 
a widow’s walk and surrounded mostly by sparse freeway and farmland
The menu was luscious and decorated meticulously like the quaint old house. 
I wasn’t that hungry, so I decided on dessert. Chocolate Mousse. Need I say more? 
Yes. I need to say more. I heard angel’s sing.”An hour later as I veered onto the 
freeway, I realized that a repeat of my mousse experience would lay in wait for 
me another day. I was almost four torturous hours away from home, and being 
a frugal sort at the time, more trips up the road was not a solution to my problem, 
so into the kitchen I went for days…and weeks…until…Violá!”

Riding a Bus in Mexico, is a Coming of Age story told in first person by the protagonist. It’s a fun read, so cozy up with a Pinot Grigio or Syrah!”
