Children With No Worries

Draft finished! I promised myself I would not look at the book for 7 days. 2 to go and I'm itching to have a sneaky look.
Will Philippa and Nick kill anybody while I'm not looking?

Cambodia Cambodia is now causing problems for Thailand, The Cambodian Book Of The Dead goes some way in explaining it! I know this story was written before the latest round of problems started. A great read - start to finish.

I have a new ebook available as a preorder. It is $0.99 for a short time, anyone interested in reviewing it?
I'm happy to send a free file if you can give an unbiased review.
The anthology has 50 short stories, set in, or featuring Thailand, or Thai people.
Thank you.
