The Bizarre and the Beautiful Encountered in The Drive North, Published by Outskirts Press
Outskirts Press announces the latest highly anticipated United States travel book from Aurora, CO, author Jason Hussong.
Aurora, CO, May 08, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published The Drive North: A Swing Down Memory Lane by Jason Hussong. The author's most recent book to date is a 6 x 9 paperback in the United States travel category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/jasonstravels was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.
Jason Hussong has traveled to all seven continents, but nothing in his globetrotting past can prepare him for the expedition he’s about to take when he hops in his car to visit America’s national parks in a remarkable solo road trip.
The Drive North chronicles Hussong’s journey as he travels the country from Mexico to Canada, visiting what Wallace Stegner called “America’s best idea,” from Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico to Canyonlands in Utah, Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota to Grand Canyon in Arizona. And that’s just for starters.
Along the way, Hussong paints a vivid and often hilarious portrait of the people and towns that dot the map. Here are the roadside diners, chain-hotel clerks, small-town hookers, cell phone dead zones and tourist-trap museums that make road trips so great -- including an alien-themed S&M clothing store in Roswell, New Mexico. The endless landscape outside his windshield is at once bizarre, unexpected and, most of all, beautiful.
Through it all, Hussong relives the family road trips from his childhood in the Beast -- the hideous conversion van people-hauler -- that kick-started his love of travel. What emerges is a searching, moving memoir of family, place, and growing up.
239 pages in length, The Drive North: A Swing Down Memory Lane is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the United States travel category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, The Drive North meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $14.95.
Additionally, The Drive North 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 Direct bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore.
