Wilson's Women Dann Darwin

A story of dreams, love, lust and modern day adventure ... Ronald Wilson is an American dreamer. He dreams of landing a big business deal. He dreams of breaking 80 on the golf course. He dreams about women who pass him on the street. Then, over blue margaritas on a muggy spring night, he concocts a seemingly impossible dream - to find the first woman he made love to. Wilson decides to embark on his journey. The owner of a modestly successful public relations business in the heart of the Sunbelt, he takes off for a week and finds the Midwestern woman he made love to 30 years ago. Emboldened by his success in finding a woman from his past, Wilson confides to his best friend that there are other women from an earlier time in his life he would like to see again. For one frenetic summer, Wilson haunts Best Westerns and Denny's restaurants along the American interstates in his quest to find the women he believes had the most effect on his life. Sometimes his quests are successful. And sometimes he returns home with only a poignant sense of emptiness. Finally, Wilson ventures out on his final journey of the summer of 2011, a trip to find a woman he never made love to - his college sweetheart. It's an adventure he'll never forget. This short, 48,000-word novel should appeal to men and women everywhere who have ever wondered about past loves. The writer lives in Las Vegas.
