Theirs is a troubled odyssey, torn by jailbreaks, flash floods, heartbreak and
war. Join them on a timeless adventure in the road trip you'll never forget.
Review
This story is a very good balance that kept me wanting to know more and maintaining as much believability as possible.
A Desert in Bloom is a well written novel that’s a nice mix of sub genres. It allows for a journey back and is a wonderful depiction of these characters and the world and time they are living in.
The characters, their personal dilemmas, their friendship and loyalties and issues are all at the forefront. It's all very well done.
Very entertaining read with little nuggets of local wisdom along the way.
About the Author
WILLIAM LANDVOIGT BAYNE grew up in the South, lives in the West, and was
educated on the roads somewhere in between. As a young man, he hitchhiked
across America, drew comic books, and ran away to join the circus. That
didn’t work out long term, so he moved on to advertising and television,
using the same skills he picked up shoveling manure with the Ringling
Brothers. He has a lot of shiny statues from those filmmaking days.
Writing fiction is a lot more fun than shoveling, so that’s what he does now.
Bayne’s unique voice springs from his long experience as an artist, director and storyteller. His many documentary and commercial honors include: The New York Art Directors Club Award, the Telly, the Addy, the Time-Life Freddie Award, the BLUE Ocean Film Festival Award, and recognition at both the Houston and San Francisco International Film Festivals.
