This review is from: Daddy’s Hobby (Behind The Smile – The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya) (Kindle Edition)
“Daddy’s Hobby (Behind The Smile – The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya)” by Owen Jones is an insightful look into the life of a Thai bar girl. It is a moving story that shines through its exemplary realism. Jones shows real life drama as I imagine it much more likely than stories on the subject that I have read. It tells a tale of tragedy and hope, of love, prostitution and the grey area between without drifting into thriller and political territory, which makes it so much more powerful. Well worth reading.
“I thoroughly enjoyed reading all 1/2/3 BTS books
even though I was getting annoyed in book 2 with
Lek’s selfish and self-centred attitude regarding
the house and her image and standing in the village, but
fell over laughing with the image of Craig staying in the
old timber shack he’d bought, and trying to get some
sleep by wearing a sack over his head to evade the
mosquitos bites. Sorry O but that image brings a smile
every time, mainly because I can picture it happened
to you in real life.
“Book 3 was a relief in many ways, not only was Lek finally
in control of her life financially as well as socially, but
also with Ayr her old friend coming back to the village
and backing Lek in their joint venture together, meant I could
finally sleep easy knowing that Craig would be happy and
confident in their so far very one sided life together.
“I’m sorry that the series is over for now, but, I suppose it will give me a chance to read some of your other 20-odd books!”

There are other services for authors on my publishing web site at:
where there are about 100 books of ‘private label rights’ (PLR) with fifteen 500-word articles on niche subjects that you can use in your on line publications during periods when you are too busy to write such as during holidays and ill health.
Authors can use these three web sites to make writing, publishing, promoting and selling your books easier and will allow readers to get to know authors and their work better too. They will be able to support authors they like by buying directly from them thus ensuring that the writer receives all of the price of the book.
