Book Details

Lek is gebore as die oudste kind van vier in 'n tipiese rysboerderygesin. Sy het nie verwag om iets anders te doen as die ander meisies in haar klas in die noordelike rysgordel van Thailand nie. Tipies sou dit wees: werk vir 'n paar jaar in die veld; het 'n paar babas; Gee dit vir mamma om te versorg en terug werk toe totdat haar kinders hul eie kinders gehad het en sy kon ophou werk om vir hulle te sorg.Op 'n dag het 'n katastrofe uit die bloute plaasgevind – haar pa is jonk oorlede en met groot skuld waarvan die gesin niks geweet het nie. Lek was twintig en sy was die enigste een wat afskerming kon voorkom. Die enigste manier wat sy egter geweet het, was om in haar neef se kroeg in Pattaya te gaan werk.

Author Description

Owen Jones, Amazon Best-Selling Author from Barry, Wales, has lived in several countries and travelled in many more. While studying Russian in the USSR in the `70`s, he hobnobbed with spies on a regular basis; in Suriname, he got caught up in the 1982 coup; and while a company director, he joined the crew of four as the galley slave to sail, from Barry to Gibraltar, a home-made concrete yacht, which was almost rammed by a Russian oil tanker and an American aircraft carrier.
"I am a Celt, and we are romantic", he said when asked about his writing style, "and I firmly believe in reincarnation, Karma and Fate, so, sayings like `Do unto another...`, and `What goes round comes around` are central to my life and reflected in my work. I write about what I see, or think I see, or dream... and, in the end it is all the same really". He speaks seven languages and is learning Thai, since he lives in Thailand with his Thai wife of seventeen years.
His first novel, Daddy`s Hobby is from the seven-part series `Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya`, but his largest collection is `The Megan Series`, twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a teenage girl, the subtitle of which, `A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!` sums them up nicely. He has written fifty novels and novelettes, including: Dead Centre; Andropov`s Cuckoo; Fate Twister; The Disallowed (a philosophical comedy); Tiger Lily of Bangkok; and A Night in Annwn (Annwn being the ancient Welsh word for Heaven). Many have been translated into foreign languages and narrated into audio books.
Owen Jones writes stories set in Wales, Spain and Thailand, where he now lives. He is a life-long Spiritualist, and this belief is interwoven, in a very realistic way, into many of his books and storylines. If you like a touch of the `supernatural`, try his books
He sums his life up thus: "Born in the Land of Song, Living in the Land of Smiles".
