THE BOOKS
I got the ideas for writing these novels while living in Vietnam and Malaysia and traveling throughout Southeast Asia. Many of the characters in my books are based on locals and expats I've met and befriended in Vietnam, Malaysia, Cambodia and Thailand. I hope these books not only entertain you but will provide you with a valueable insight into the black market, corruption, life, love, lust and desires in Southeast Asia.
