A whale of a traveler's tale (minus the whale), Gullible Travels is the incredible account of a world tour with a touch of fantasy.
Inspired by an international beauty pageant, the novel's protagonist embarks on a quest to discover which nations feel most superior and why, encountering diverse customs, cultures, and characters along the way. Among these are a chieftain with a penchant for puzzles, a tour guide with a penchant for puns, and a poetess with a penchant for limericks.
Sometime during the odyssey, our modern-day Odysseus is shipwrecked. Marooned on an enchanted isle, she waits in a literary manner in a literary manor until an ocean liner comes to her rescue. But is it a rescue? Or is it a plot to lure her into a misadventure involving a handsome stranger, a celebrated detective, and a priceless stolen artifact?
The travel journal gets picked up by an illustrious New England house after the tour, and the author-publisher interactions form the subplot.
From its title and opening line--Call me Lemuelle--Gullible Travels is sprinkled with literary allusions and parodies to entertain the literature buff. Readers who like travel adventures, comedy, and women's fiction will also enjoy this comic, fast-paced debut novel.
