Zen Benbrook, aka Zen Traveler, is a popular solo travel vlogger who walks around the world. Bri, aka Solo-ing With Bri, is the fedora-wearing queen of solo travel vloggers, who showcases cities and cultures.
Marquardt is a tiny country nestled in the Alps on the border of Austria and Italy that's emerging from over a half-century of a repressive regime under a iron-fisted dictator. The new president is ready to embrace the modern world and capture the tourist trade. Zen and Bri, along with six other solo travel vloggers are invited to test Marquardt's tourist-readiness. They soon discover that Marquardt is nowhere near ready for tourist.
For Zen, dealing with Marquardt's stumbling attempt to open its borders to the world is simple compared to hiding the massive crush she has on Bri. Zen happens to know a small fact that Bri doesn't mention in her bio that gives Zen a glimmer of hope. Zen has just seven days to win Bri's heart or regret not trying for the rest of her life.

T.J. Mindancer may be a figment of someone’s imagination or just someone who likes to imagine she’s a figment while she creates worlds for her characters to inhabit. She has spent her life working with books as an academic librarian and as an editor for two publishing companies and has had some of her scribbled words published under a couple of pen names—at least one, not a figment. Her work includes the Tales of Emoria series of books and shorter tales set in the Emoria world. She also likes to make up places in the real world and write about them. She lives with her magical cat Karma in her Tiny House of the Dragons in Northern California.
