I'm hoping that my book might be of interest to the readers of this blog.<br /><br />Here's the brief description:<br /><br /><br /> In 1990, as a college freshman, I was madly in love with my high school girlfriend, although we attended different schools. I was in Lexington, KY at the University of Kentucky and she was at Wake Forest in Winston Salem, NC. I had no money and no car, but needed to see her. So, I scraped together enough money for a bus ticket. What should have been a 7 or 8 hour car ride turned into a 19 hour interminable bus adventure where I met Amish people, carnival workers and the town drunk. While my girlfriend dumped me before Halloween of our freshmen year, the memories of that bus trip stayed with me for the next two decades.<br /><br /> So, in 2010, when a career change afforded me a month of free time, I purchased a "discovery pass" for $439 that allowed me to spend 30 days traveling around the country on a Greyhound. What resulted is my book: Bus People. It is full of stories that are compelling. Some are funny and uplifting. Many are sad and depressing. I wrote the book with compassion and empathy, but also with brutal honesty. I gave comment on the way Greyhound treats its customers and tried to give a voice to a group of people who often live on the margins of society.<br /><br /> The link for the book on Amazon (it's available in paperback and Kindle formats) is here: http://www.amazon.com/Bus-People-Mike-Pentecost/dp/0985141506/ref=pd_rhf_dp_p_t_1<br /><br /><br /> It has received good press in the Chicago Tribune, the Tennessean, the Reno Gazette, the Richmond Times, the Sacramento Bee, the Naperville Sun and other papers around the country. It has also received interest from the radio program This American Life, although we've yet to come up with an exact fit for their show.<br /><br />I'm attaching the review from the Chicago Tribune, but you can google me and find other articles if you'd like.<br /><br />I look forward to hearing back from you and getting your thoughts.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Mike Pentecost<br /><br />www.mikepentecost.blogspot.com<br />Mike Pentecosthttp://www.mikepentecost.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1923860625279115418.post-33799253953993109002012-07-20T09:17:21.670-07:002012-07-20T09:17:21.670-07:00Running them out of Diridon would be the best opti...Running them out of Diridon would be the best option for sure, especially after BART comes in.
