Songs for Perri

One woman, several men, who is wearing the mask?A courageous heroine searches for her stepbrother in Mazatlan's Golden Zone.It's not over till it's over.From the Author I went to Mazatlan to research this book, enjoying the bus rides, the street vendors, the dry air that is in this part of Mexico. As in all books, research adds depth, so I was able to bring in the Mayan Show and the shrimp boats. The inspiration for this story? My husband drove charter busses for three years and told me how he kept waiting for a rock star to get on the bus. He had the band all aboard and one of them finally pointed out the rock star, saying, "He's already here." Unrecognizable without his wig. Then I saw "The Saint" movie and that confirmed a plot with "more" than one hero.Hugo is perhaps my favorite hero, although I tend to fall for all of them. I really enjoyed making Hugo suffer when Walt wouldn't let him tell Perri who he was.
