The second book from Frederick Publishing, American Idle is a collection of journals from author j.frede's time as a taxi driver in Los Angeles as well as his eyespy journals detailing the things he encountered commuting in the City of Angels.
Preface: "AMERICAN IDLE is a collection of journals that were originally blogs I kept in 2006 & 2007. The Taxi Travel Logs were a weekly blog I kept of people and situations I came across while driving a cab in Los Angeles in 2006. In 2007 I started the eyespy journals, a blog documenting the things that stood out to me on my daily commute from the east side to the west side of Los Angeles. The response to both blogs was positive and my readers often posted comments about their own observations and funny things they encountered that reminded them of the blogs..."
The first offering from Frederick Publishing, WALK documents Dave Paco's descent from Los Angeles to Tierra del Fuego. His journey to lands end took him twenty two months and a lifetime of experiences.
Introduction Except: “You hold in your hands now a collection of emails I sent back periodically to friends and family during my trip. Some grammar and awkward segments have been treated, but more or less the text has been left raw to reflect the progression of my involvement with the writing and eventual burn out of my wandering spirit. I’ve also included at the beginning of each chapter some snippets from my personal journal. Although I could never completely convey the immensity of my time on the road I hope you enjoy this account and that it inspires you to take on some travel of your own.”
