Knight in a Daze

A Knight in a Daze is the humor-filled story of Ray Rutledge, traveling salesman and would-be knight in shining armor. At weekend Renaissance gatherings, he can be found wearing chainmail and wielding a gleaming sword. Monday through Friday, however, finds Ray calling on customer after customer. What his business life lacks in excitement he makes up for with a vivid imagination. Rescuing a damsel in distress is his favorite fantasy.
Then, late one night on the road, while sitting on his motel bed in his underwear reading his favorite book, his favorite fantasy literally comes knocking on his door. No, make that pounding. Flinging the door open, Ray finds a gorgeous Hispanic woman, who grabs his t-shirt with both hands and says, "You got to help me get out of here. But first you better put on your pants."
Pants on, Ray and the woman peel out into the midnight darkness as fast as an automatic transmission Japanese import can peel. On their way to California, Ray must dodge a questionable sheriff, win a battle over toilet paper, and survive a flash flood among other unpredictable events. Not to mention, they are pursued by criminals out to recapture the woman. And, as desirable as she is, Ray must follow the strict hands-off Code of Chivalry.
Rescuing a damsel in distress ain't that easy!
