Drive To Nowhere, A Fresh Teenage Novel Without The Wizards, Is Out Now

PRLog (Press Release) – Jan 02, 2008 – Drive to Nowhere (http://www.drivetonowhere.com) by Kim Gilmour, an exciting teenage novel featuring the dramatic adventures of a group of girls on a high school trip and their deluded teachers seeking world domination, is out now.

Eeare Kindred, the feisty 15-year-old daughter of world famous rock star Captain Epic Kindred, goes on a geology trip to the Warrumbungle National Park in rural Australia on a harsh winter’s day. She and her friends are unprepared for the chaos and mystery that awaits. Can Eeare find out what’s happened to her missing mates?

Drive to Nowhere is packed with references to modern society’s obsession with the media and the way it can influence people’s perceptions.

It is bound to appeal to teens and adults alike.

"I first thought of the concept for Drive to Nowhere when I was 15 myself, but didn’t write it until I was much older," explains debut author Kim Gilmour. "The novel is about trust, betrayal, the impact of the media and internet on society, the world of a rock star’s daughter and knowing who your friends really are."

Kim decided to self-publish the novel rather than go mainstream. "Why are so many of the teenage books out there about goblins, boys and wizards? I’ve never even read any Harry Potter. I think I’m an exception to the rule!"

Kim continues: "Having Drive to Nowhere available to purchase online makes it easier for one woman like me to promote. I hope it’s successful enough for other physical bookshops to decide they want to stock it, too."

Priced at approximately £8.95/US$18.95 for the 300 page paperback, Drive to Nowhere is available to order via http://www.amazon.com although speedier delivery can be arranged via http://www.lulu.com/kimgilmour today. The ISBN is 9780955678707.
