About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
Brooks’ newest novel is an interesting and timely story, with characters and voice creating an incredibly tangible, well-paced narrative. With the use of solid dialog, Brooks introduces the reader to the novel’s characters and at times, Jan’s story barely feels like fiction at all. Demonstrating strong writing with a story line that flows nicely, the strength of Jan’s character is particularly captivating, which readers will identify with, finding strength of their own through her.
Personal tragedy leaves Jan alone. She signs on for extended trips in her tour bus, causing her boss to wish he could clone her, for a first rate team of drivers.
As a professional driver, Jan faces difficult situations, but loves playing tour guide to places along the Pacific Coast, the Sierras, and desert destinations of Arizona, California and Nevada. Snow and ice may require her to install chains on her bus, but she does it well, calling it a perk to keep her fit.
Transporting Marines, Jan has a chance encounter with a grumpy, rural sheriff that will push her life and values into turmoil. He needs her assistance in a community emergency, but afterwards, she becomes an innocent bystander in an assassination attempt and works with law enforcement to secure the wounded sheriff’s safety.
Golfers she transported to Las Vegas, request her for a multi-state golf tour. Her boss is surprised she isn’t jumping at the chance as she tries to understand her own reluctance to accept.
Brooks, having driven a motor coach in thirty-four states and Mexico, has used real places and experiences to give a glimpse into the life of a woman on the road. In a man’s world, it can be often hard for a woman to find a footing or earn respect as an equal. In the world of professional drivers, getting the job done earns respect and safe driving in winter conditions wins admiration.
Respecting her reader’s sensibilities, Brooks took a page from Hitchcock himself, leaving exotic and titillating details to the fertile imaginations of her readers, spinning a story to be enjoyed by all generations.
Deftly constructed at 222 pages, JanJan: The Lady Drives the Bus is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the FICTION / General category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, JanJan meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $15.95.
Additionally, JanJan can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press wholesale online bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/buybooks
