Internet Marketing It has become a maxim in Internet marketing, that in order to promote an item successfully, you have to present your goods to a targeted readership at least seven times. It seems that Interest marketing research has revealed that the average Internet customer has to have seen an ad seven times before he/she …
Free Books I know that a lot of authors visit this blog, and I know that many of them offer their books free of charge from time to time. Therefore, I am going to set up a page where authors can offer their free books to our 90,000 visitors a month. Since the name of …
Internet Access I don’t know what Internet access is like where you live, or even where you live, but I come from the UK and live in northern Thailand. Internet access has come on in leaps and bounds since I first moved to this remote rice-growing village ten years ago. In those days, I had …
Advertising on Megan I have been receiving an increasing number of requests from visitors to my blog about advertising opportunities. At first, I thought it odd because there are pages on there about advertising on Megan. So, I went to have a look at what I ha to offer this morning and was surprised to …
The Colour of Leaves There are many styles of writing and just as many types of readers who have stylistic preferences. I can be argued that the most successful writers match the most common preferences and one of these I think of as ‘describing the colour of leaves’. It is the language of the Eighteenth …
How Many People Profit From A Book? I was thinking about how many people profit from a book yesterday and it was quite a revelation, and I am not even sure that I came up with the full list, so if you want to shed any light on my thoughts, please feel free to use …
Openness I don’t know what you think about being open to others, and here I mean strangers as well, but openness of this kind is my natural reaction, much to the distress of my wife, who is Thai. Thais belong to that group of Orientals that we in the West like to describe as inscrutable. …
Twitter Feeds I have three Twitter feeds ranking in age as @owen-author, @lekwilliams and @Megan_and_Grrr. They were always meant to be kept separate. One was for me, one for Lek from the Behind The Smile series, and one for Megan from that series. Unfortunately, over the years, due to my ignorance, the difference between the …
Loy Krathong 2015 Loy Krathong is usually described as the Thai equivalent of Saint Valentine’s Day, which is true in that it is the day of lovers. Loy Krathong in 2015 was yesterday, November 25th. I say that, because it is always in November, but it is moveable, like Easter, depending on the full moon. …
William Jones’ NDE A Night in Annwn is the story of William Jones’ NDE or Near-Death Experience. William was a sheep farmer in the Brecon Beacons of South Wales, about forty miles north of Cardiff. He led a fairly lonely life tending his flock, as one can imagine, but even more so after his daughter …
South Africa Killings As I was looking through my Facebook timeline yesterday, just before the Internet failed me for the umpteenth time since Friday. I noticed a post from a friend of mine, and it had been very well received, judging by all the likes and shares. The gist of the post was that Europeans …

Near-Death Experiences Near-death experiences, or NDE’s, are phenomena that are recognized by science and religion alike and can be viewed from three standpoints: psychological, physiological and transcendental according to the entry on Wikipedia. The article also goes on to mention the five stages typical of thousands of near-death experiences, which are: 1) Peace, 2) Body …
Near-Death Experience What happened last night was almost like deja-vu. I’ll tell you why, but first I want to remind you computer buffs of the ‘Blue Screen of Death’. Do you remember those? I have had a few over the last thirty-five years. For those who don’t know them – the few lucky ones – …
Hearing Deficiencies It’s funny. My parents always predicted, from the day that I bought my first album, Deep Purple In Rock, that I would be hard of hearing or even deaf by the time I reached their age, which would have been about thirty-five. I spent the following thirty years going to insanely loud rock …
Cock Fighting Yesterday evening, while I was enjoying my usual pint in the corner shop that I euphemistically call ‘The Pub’ and which readers of Behind The Smile will know as Nong’s, a youth carried two chickens onto the plot of land opposite, put one down, but held the other firmly around the body. Then …
Validation of Files If ‘publishing’ was my word of the day yesterday, today’s is ‘validation’. As you might remember from my post yesterday, I was publishing my websites on a new host. Well, to be absolutely truthful, the host was doing it for me, but it did require a little input from me from time …
Publishing I am having quite a time of publishing at the moment. Yesterday, I published the 112,000-word fifth sequel to Behind The Smile, called The Dream and today I published the second in the Megan Compilation Series of five 11,000-word novelettes on the psychic development of Megan, a teenage Celtic psychic. I should be ready …
CreateSpace Behind The Smile v6: The Dream is up there online, but I didn’t rush the other two out. I am out of the house now, having a pint and writing to you, but when I get back, I will finish the job by putting some advertising up. By the way, for those of you …
