Produktbeschreibung
In late autumn 1998, two young women from Helena in Montana make their way to Florida in their red Chevrolet Caprice station wagon because they want to escape the bourgeoisie and bigotry and get married. In Montana same-sex marriages are not allowed and in Florida they are allowed to become married before the law.Without a concrete plan, but with one goal in mind, Talia and Leila set off on a road trip over the Interstates towards the south-east, divide the almost 4,500 kilometres to be driven into daily stages of about 400 kilometres, spend the nights in motels along the roads and eat in restaurants called diners.Way down Florida becomes a daring trip, as it could come from a road movie.They experience hair-raising adventures, sometimes slide past death by a hair's breadth and until they arrive in the sun state after almost two months, they experience ups and downs, pain and violence, but also love, ingenious sex and joy, make enemies and friends.The almost indestructible red Chevy never lets them down, becomes the centre of their existence during the trip, writes history on a test track and becomes the symbol of their struggle for recognition and freedom in puritanical America at the end of the 20th century.When they finally arrive in Miami Dade, the chicks have become mature women who have raised their heads proudly and walk unshakably against all resistance.
Autorenporträt
Udo Meeßen (me:s¿n), born 1962 in Cologne (Germany), has been writing since his earliest youth. Since 1982 he has been working on a series entitled "The Dark Road", which deals with the deepest abysses of human existence and will probably never be published. "The soulbringers law", the series around the android Celine is an offshoot of the dark road and spontaneously became its own series when Celine suddenly developed a life of its own in February 2017. The author has been working intensively on this new series since spring 2017. Udo Meeßen, a stonemason by nature, was a forwarding agent in the press industry for a very long time and after an excursion into warehouse logistics he has been working as a leader of heavy equipment in a limestone quarry since January 2015. He has been married to one and the same woman since 1985 and now has three grown-up children. His greatest passion besides writing is the private brewing of beer and heavy metal. In the fan scene around the heavy metal band ManOwaR and in the german hobby brewer scene he is known as TrashHunter. Between 2001 and 2004 Udo Meeßen wrote his personal sequel to the StarTrek® saga on his then no longer accessible website starraise.de and settled it in the 27th century. The spaceships designed for Starraise with Micrografx-Simply3D® and the fictitious TransSolarEmitter drive described at the time are reborn into The soulbringers law. Renowned authors such as Stephen King, Edgar Allen Poe, Peter Straub and K.H.Scheer as well as Isaac Asimov and Gene Roddenberry have shaped the author's penchant for horror and science fiction and probably also his writing style considerably.
