- low-roller residents of Las Vegas hotel feel as if they're living in a circus
These are just a few of the dilemmas faced by travelers and stay-at-homes in Untied Knots, a collection of 33 tales from both the distant and more recent past. Split into three basic categories, each promises an offbeat twist or two.
Best described as "autobiographical fiction," nearly half of the tales are travel-based, largely factual, based upon second-class treks through everyday life that invariably steer around the posh and the touristy. Several stem from long-term journeys and random residence within Mexico, undertaken as far back as the 1970s.
Exploits of home-based characters are more fictional, though inspired at least in part by actual people, places, and events. Archived tales were written (or begun) decades ago, but never published.
James M. Flammang has been a journalist, writer, and editor for his entire adult life, with more than 30 books published. Most have been about cars (new, used, and historic), along with half a dozen children's titles. He and his wife, Marianne, have been avid travelers in the past, especially in Mexico, veering away from the familiar tourist paths.

You should expect to receive your refund within four weeks of giving your package to the return shipper, however, in many cases you will receive a refund more quickly. This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5 to 10 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (3 to 5 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5 to 10 business days).
