Forthcoming Book

*日本語書き込みません

I suppose you're all wondering why I'm introducing a book outside of my monthly Page Turners. And its a book that's not yet published - but will be soon. For one, I consider the author a friend and the mother of one of my dear friends who I introduced in a previous post, one Matthew Brown. I am introducing Janet Brown. She was also for a very short time, a co-worker until she moved on to better pastures (we didn't work at the same store but it was the same company) and the best thing about Janet, aside from spawning one of the most interesting characters I've had the pleasure to call my friend, is getting me and my friend Hide quite drunk in Bangkok!! Nothing like partying with your friend's Mom. She may not remember, but I had to make one visit to the men's room for a serious puking binge, (sorry if you're having lunch or dinner) and came back to the table to find that she had ordered us more beers!! And yes, I drank those too.

You may have noticed a couple of blog links as well titled "Asia by the Book" and "Tone Deaf in Thailand". If you're interested in books of and about Asia, check it out and say hi to Janet!!

Yep, the author of the book is the mother of that guy wearing glasses. That's me in the middle with my older brother on the left. So, all you readers and literary types, go buy this book when it comes out!!
