A FORTUNE-TELLER, A LOVE STORY, AN EXOTIC ADVENTURE ... AND AN INESCAPABLE PAST.

Trapped in a seemingly endless existential crisis, an unfulfilled and relationship-weary Chris Bates abandons the woman who loves him in search of fame, fortune, and guilt-free fornication. Incredibly, the universe rewards this selfish idiocy with sex, money, and a job on a hit TV show.

But karma has bigger plans for this misguided man-child, and before long, Chris's perfect new life unravels disastrously. Desperate for direction, he seeks out a fortune-teller and decides to trade his newfound 'success' for a ridiculous prophecy of love.

The prediction leads him to India, where he discovers a continent of contrasts, meets a cast of eccentrics with dysfunctional lives that rival his own, and confronts a devastating and inescapable secret that has followed him from his past.

Lost in Transit is a riotous, real-life romp; a soul-stirring travel misadventure that is part romantic comedy, part tragedy, and all heart. This book is a must-read for women who want to understand men...and for men who are lost.

Industry Reviews

"Excellent, just excellent! This was 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' meets 'Walter Mitty'. Please read this book." - Karen Lisette, Amazon.com

"This is a travelog with a conscience. Journey with Chris, not only through India but also through some deeply traumatic experiences, as he searches for answers, new pathways and new beginnings." - Karen Downey, Goodreads.com

"This has to be one of the most honest accounts of being a man out there. It's not for the fainthearted. As cliche as it might sound, this is a roller coaster ride of a book ... that will stay with you long after you've read it." - Sonja Van Der Westhuizen, Westwordsreviews.com
