The Johnson’s—Dr. Samuel Johnson, his wife Tabitha and Samuel’s parents, Maxine and Samuel, Sr.–have had a tumultuous four-day wedding trip that would destroy most families. Tabitha makes a fool of herself trying to get Samuel’s attention at the wedding but Samuel is too busy to notice. He is having a torrid liaison with Kat, the gorgeous maid of honor half his age. After missing their flight home, the family lays waste to the Savannah Airport: unearthing dark secrets, sharing unbelievable confessions, and turning their eight-hour layover into an episode of some sleazy talk show. But, as the third story begins, Samuel and Tabitha have taken a step in the right direction. They put a patch on their differences, eschew their trip back home to Pittsburgh, and enjoy a night of hot sex in a Savanah hotel that they’ve never enjoyed before in their marriage. Tragedy will strike Maxine as Senior’s heartless actions put her over the edge. But Tabitha and Samuel will attempt to pull the entire family together once and for all…for the Long Journey Home

About the Author
Hi Everyone! James Robinson, Jr. is so formal; call me Jim. People have also referred to me as James, Jay, Jayzer, and even Jimbo. (You can thank my middle daughter for the Jimbo thing. Kids have no respect for authority these days.) I'm a sixty-year-old father of three, thirty-plus daughters and grandfather of four who has been battered by gravity unmercilessly (see Fighting the Effects of Gravity). I was late getting into the writing game. Mainly because I was busy having children and trying to keep them fed.
I have written and published most of the books that you see here since 2012. My first book, Fighting the Effects of Gravity, was a long-term project that I started long before the digital revolution. My next book, Death of a Shrinking Violet, consists of 13 essays including the memorable entry, "Damn You Sam's Club!" My latest work, a novella, is my first foray into the world of fiction. Along the way, I have managed to take home two Five-Star Readers' Favorite Reviews and become an Indie Excellence and Readers' Favorite Award finalist.

I got lost in Paris and missed my flight and next flight was delayed by several hours.
ReplyDeleteBecause there were nine of us and that alone can cause chaos. But it seemed that just traveling with my family was an adventure in and of itself. One of the times we went on a cruise and it was out of Florida and my brother's luggage went to Seattle Washington. It was quite the trick to get him dressed and then get to the airport of one of the ports to pick up his luggage during the middle of the trip.
ReplyDeleteWe went camping and tried to forage for our dinner!
ReplyDeleteA quirky adventure I've had with my family--a trip to Turkey. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHa! We are about to do quirky-we are going to visit the Twister museum in Wakita, Oklahoma. Yes, Twister the movie!
ReplyDeleteMy grandma and I used to take walks to look for wild mushrooms after it rained when I was a little kid.
ReplyDeleteWe almost lost our son in Hong Kong!
ReplyDeleteFell asleep at the airport and missed my flight and got stuck in LA once.. wasn't funny at the time :/
ReplyDeleteMy 1st anniversary we encountered a bear!
ReplyDeleteNot been away with my family but have been on quite a few bird watching holidays as a group. There have been plenty of interesting and unusual occurrences on these trips.
ReplyDeleteNever had a quirky adventure
