Book Cover & Preview Text
It wasn’t long after they had finished eating, that the door opened, this time without a knock. It was their new found friends from the Panamanian Gestapo. First crack out of one of them was not “good morning” but rather, “We do hope you have had time to reconsider your situation.” Robin and Eric had no comment in response. Then one of the men turned to Robin. He had a cigar in his hand which was lit and he had been smoking. His voice was threatening as he approached her and said, “Would the pretty lady like to know if my cigar would burn if I pressed it to her cheek?” He raised his hand with the cigar and pointed the cigar at her. Robin was absolutely petrified! The man had a very intense furious look on his face as he said to Robin, “Perhaps you will now tell us why you two are really in Panama and just what business you had with Senor Parketta!” He moved closer to Robin bring the cigar closer to her cheek.

About the Book
In the still-turbulent year of 1970, Eric was in mid-life, experiencing the trappings that come with it: a failing marriage, growing children, and a mundane job. When he meets Robin, a vivacious and beautiful woman, their attraction is instantaneous.
Together, Robin and Eric decide they’ve had enough of the establishment. Pooling their assets, they surrender their jobs, buy a VW camper, and equip themselves like many other wanderers of the day.
Legally separated from his wife and having provided for his children, Eric leaves his life behind to join Robin in an adventure that will change them both. With their camper equipped for roughing it, they travel from the parks and forests of Washington and Oregon, down the coast of California, through Mexico and Central America. Along the way, they experience the beauty of their natural surroundings, fall deeply in love, and encounter some colorful characters – some friendly and some who place them in grave danger.
Eric and Robin’s exciting tale of travel and adventure includes jungle safaris, deep sea fishing trips, erotic love, and dangerous encounters with terrorists, smugglers, and modern-day pirates, and is based on the author’s own experiences.
