After a 35-year career in the oil and gas industry, Bob traded the office for the open highway. Alongside his wife, Joyce, he now spends his days traveling, golfing, and chasing the freedom of the open road. Their countless motorcycle adventures through Mexico’s rugged landscapes inspired his debut novel, Riding Paradise—a story where adventure and self-discovery meet at every turn.

The Pacific Coast Highway-Route 200: The Road That Became a Novel

Riding Paradise didn’t start as a book—it started as a ride. Actually, as many rides. My wife and I have traveled thousands of miles across Mexico, through every state but two.

The Pacific Coast Highway-Route 200: The Road That Became a Novel

Riding Paradise didn’t start as a book—it started as a ride. Actually, as many rides. My wife and I have traveled thousands of miles across Mexico, through every state but two. Each journey gave us something unforgettable, but the one that stayed with me the most—the one that challenged and inspired me—was Mexico’s Route 200, from Mazatlán’s golden beaches to the jungles near the Guatemalan border. It’s a highway filled with beauty, danger, and unforgettable moments.

I wanted to capture all of that—the freedom, the tension, the romance of Mexico, the unpredictability—and shape it into a story that feels as real as the rides that inspired it.

But I didn’t want to write just a travelogue. Mexico has been in the news often in recent years because of cartel violence and the ongoing battle between organized crime and the authorities. I felt it was the right time to bring those elements together—the breathtaking ride through Mexico’s countryside and the real, sometimes frightening events happening throughout the country today.

If you want to see some of the real roads and moments that inspired the story, check out the photos on my Author Page—many of them were taken during the rides that eventually became Riding Paradise.

Thanks for being here. More photos, stories, and updates coming soon. The road ahead is just as exciting as the one behind us.

And for Kindle Unlimited readers, Riding Paradise is available there as well.

More Than a Motorcycle Journey

You don’t have to ride a motorcycle to feel the pull of the open road. Step into a world alive with color, danger, and desire as you journey through Mexico’s villages, jungles, and the legendary coastal highway called Route 200. ...more
