  • Is this book available in Canada?I first visited Chiang Mai in 1992 and eventually ended up living there for about 5 years ,under trying circumstances,fund less,expired visa etc. These somewhat adverse conditions in which I found myself enabled me to see and know Chiang Mai as the average Falang never could.Many vivid memories and even through all of the adversity C.M still holds a special place in my heart.Cheers Chok Dee Kaap
  • Hi Writer4762I have read the book four times now, I have never read the same novel so many times as I have this one. It is great and new things are revealed on every read. I hope I see more from you two again. Wonderful story, full of real life, I think.

The Music and Text in the Book Trailer



Thanks to all that stopped by to either watch the book trailer here, or at You Tube. Quite a few of you remarked about the music and text that was in the trailer.

The music/lyrics of "Solitaire" was written by an American named Neil Sedaka. He's had numerous hits throughout his career and this song is a particularly touching one.

The singer's name is a British citizen named Tony Christie. He's definitely got a beautiful voice and sings the Sedaka composition with such feeling. The song was chosen because Alan mentions it in the book. So, we tried to be as true to the book as possible when doing the trailer.

Check out the performance of this song with both Sedaka and Christie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVCLdzBYjEs

As for the text, all I can do is mutter an "aw shucks it was nothin'". I wrote the text based upon my affection for the book.

Alan and I are so glad you enjoyed the mini-film. Please continue to link to the You Tube link
