And what better way would there be to say ‘I’m back’ than some blatant, unabashed self-promotion? So here it is – my book. Red-light Nights, Bangkok Daze published last month by Monsoon Books (Singapore).
So if you had been wondering what I was up to, now you know!Here is the back cover text/description:
Sexy, entertaining, and thoroughly informative, Red-light Nights, Bangkok Daze is a collection of reports that offers a glimpse into what is enticing, insightful, and possibly unknown about sex in Asia. It looks at the sex scenes and unseens in the ‘usual suspects’ of Thailand, the Philippines, Hong Kong, and Japan as well as in less obvious countries such as Pakistan, China, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
Covering the gamut of love, lust, passion, and pleasure across Asia, these articles offer unique insights into the sometimes shadowy world of the carnal pleasures on offer and the hypocrisies surrounding them. Gathered from the views of unrepentant ‘sexpats’, wayward tourists, and the locals themselves, in Redlight Nights, Bangkok Daze, you’ll find revelations about the varied experiences this huge cast of characters participates in. Succumb to the lights, and weather the daze; you’ll find yourself exhilarated and waking to a newfound awareness of the complex, interesting and yet confusing world of sex in Asia.
Then there was this book review in the Bangkok Post that I just found out about today that you can read by clicking here.
That review says that the book is available at Asia Books and other quality booksellers, which would be great as that is the first I had heard of it. It may take as long as April 2009 to get to western markets (US, Canada, Europe) as it has to get accepted into the Library of Congress first to insure copyright protection.
But for those of you pining away to get a copy – and I do hope that there might be a couple of you -you can visit my book page on the publisher’s website by clicking here. You can order a copy from them securely and it will ship immediately no matter your location. You can also read a preview of Chapter 1 there too!
Many thanks for everybody’s support, and ‘yes’ I will get back to posting sirens tomorrow!
