.For those of you who don’t know, for the past few months I’ve been in Mexico, working hard on my latest travel novel.

If I had to describe it, I would say that it’s a coming-of-age erotica meets sci-fi thriller, a gripping page-turner of thought-provoking non-fiction that entertains as it informs and combines my ebullient prose with my eerie sixth-sense. Also, it’s about traveling.

Because I’m a charitable person by nature and also want others to see how talented I am,  I’ve posted the entire Mexican chapter of my novel below.

I can’t remember her name, but she was really friendly!

And now she’s dead.

Anna-Maria was alive, once.

But that was before she was dead.

Susie and Laura? Dead and dead.

Carlos is just taking a short nap.

Just kidding! He’s dead.

This kid didn’t like me much.

Which would explain why he’s dead.

.

..

Shortly after this was taken, the boat capsized.

And now they’re all dead.

To be fair, I think Maria might just be disoriented.

Whoever these guys are going after is obviously dead.

The guy tried to resuscitate him, but he was already too dead.

Update:  After spending the last 12 hours on a rickety bus driven by a 95 year-old man with cataracts and seated next to an even older man whose gout-ridden hand somehow kept finding it’s way to my upper thigh (karma’s a bitch), I discovered my blog has been nominated for an award in the Canadian blogger category.

Now, normally when it comes to these things I would tell you to listen to your heart, but if being physically violated by a geriatric tells you anything, it’s that I’m obviously worthy of this honor.
