Riverboat قصص

Wayward: Fetching Tales from a Year on the Road is a hilarious and heartfelt ride around the world, wherein the author eats dog, obsesses about chewing gum, gets stranded on an island, does dirty things, reveres rock n roll and muses about everything from death to Star Trek to the President Obama to jail time. Now available on Wattpad, Wayward has been a surprise hit at both iTunes and Amazon, reaching #1 on both retailers' travel charts. It chronicles a year in the life of the author, who lived in 12 countries over 12 months, one month at a time. It's kind of funny, kind of sad and kind of weird. Forbes describes the book: "Wayward isn’t strictly a travelogue or a guide by any means. The book reads like a diary, with chapters dedicated to everything from watching Obama’s inauguration in an Argentinian bar, to viewing a dubbed version of the newest Star Trek film in France and trying to understand the plot despite not speaking French, to remembering the ecstasy and pain of his first love just before breaking up with his then-boyfriend in Berlin, to eating dog in Vietnam, to his experience working with Patti Smith in New York. Gates’ lively, conversational writing style bring all the disparate pieces together for an engaging, enjoyable read."

On the summer of 1860, in the pre-Civil War south, a young, disillusioned Samuel Clemens (who has yet to become the acclaimed author, Mark Twain) has been placed as the captain of a fresh new steamer named "Jefferson". Unfortunately, this maiden voyage will not go smoothly, as one of the passengers is in possession of an alien lifeform. But this isn't the only alien aboard the Jefferson. Rania, the Sixth Tinkerer of Gallifrey, investigates under the alias of "Clementine Walker," a best-selling 19th century author, along with her two companions, Tyler Thorne and Craig Williams. As one mystery on the Mississippi deepens, another comes along to complicate things.
