Magic Carpet Seduction: Travel Tales Off the Beaten Path

Imagine showing up in a foreign country without knowing anyone and just going with the flow. And what if you talked to strangers, accepted their invitations and had no fear? Sounds risky, right?

Who would you meet? What would happen?

That's exactly what this author does when she travels--and she invites you to join her as she journeys off the beaten path and into the moment in 9 countries around the world. You can vicariously experience all of her adventures...from the safety of your couch.

She takes the risks so that you don't have to. Here's a sampling of the journeys you'll take...together.

Close encounters with Carpet Casanovas in Turkey.
A quest to meet a wizard-like hermit in the Lebanese mountains.
Political intrigue in a Chinese classroom.
A marriage proposal on a Nicaraguan chicken bus.

Vicariously experience these and other adventures when you travel with the author, Lisa Egle, to China, Latin America, Turkey and the Middle East. As she takes risks off the beaten path, random moments lead to unexpected journeys. Each ride on the carpetâ€”a tale in the collectionâ€”is unique, so you never know where youâ€™ll land next.

Highly entertaining and thought-provoking, Magic Carpet Seduction helps you discover how traveling to far-flung destinations can bring you closer to yourself...

Advance Reviews

"When I want to escape, I want to travel to another world. I want to meet characters I would not ordinarily meet, taste things I would not ordinarily taste, stare down trouble, meet my heroes and heroines, and...be surprised from one page to the next. This is what Lisa Egle does for the would-be traveler. She immerses us in distant places and...invites us to dance with strangers in strange lands. This is adventure. This is where I want to be."

â€”Christine Redman-Waldeyer, D.Litt Editor of Adanna Literary Journal

"Alternately hilarious and harrowing, Lisa Egle's high-spirited Magic Carpet Seduction is a traveler's trunk crammed with memorable people, sights, sounds and surprises... Like her fellow solo female travelers Gertrude Bell and Freya Stark, Egle doesn't let rules and regulations get in the way of collecting a good story. It is the author's ability to find humanity in people that makes this magic carpet journey especially seductive to me."
