Lost in Mexico: Journey into an Exotic Land

A writer enters Mexico through El Paso/Juarez and travels three days to a West Coast destination. Within hours of his arrival, he realizes he has made a terrible mistake. Most of the next year is spent going up and down Mexico and Guatemala in search of the perfect location to write his book.

Lost in Mexico: Journey Into an Exotic Land is a rambling, wayward account into a magical country full of unexpected twists and turns. Equal parts travelogue/memoir/adventure tale, beautiful and harsh, humorous and heartbreaking, earthly and insightful, it is a perspective you are unlikely to get anywhere else. Get ready for a wild ride.

More recently, he spent five years living and working in church as a building manager and sexton/custodian. He currently lives in Vancouver, Washington, and works for Veterans Administration in Community Care.
