Second Edition of It All Started in Mandalay

I was in Asia Books at the Terminal 21 Mall in Bangkok last week holding my book.This is the biggest and newest mall in Bangkok and this is the biggest book store in Bangkok so it was quite a thrill.  Too bad there was no one there to take a picture and since I just have a stupid phone the picture I cold have taken will just remain in my head. I got quite a charge of holding the hardback edition of something I actually wrote.  If you read this blog regularly  you will know that a second edition of It all Started in Mandalay is now out . It is much better because I added thirty pages of dialogue which gives more insight into the characters.


I really appreciate all of the wonderful comments you have made which makes me feel so rewarded.  I am now back in Canada on holiday and  If there are Torontonians reading this, I just ordered some books I will keep in the trunk of my car to be delivered to your home, especially if you live near a golf course. I would also love to come and talk to your book club or reading group. Teachers seem to love the book the best because of my references to international teaching and education but I have received lots of kind notes from other who are not teachers.

There is no country in the world that is like Myanmar as you can see from all of these pictures. . The people, the sounds, the culture, the scenes. If you have not traveled to Myanmar yet you owe it to yourself to go there and see for yourself. But if you can't go there for whatever reason, at least read my book and get a little flavour of what you might see, hear and feel. 

You can buy the book at Asia books in you live in Asia but if you live elsewhere you can certainly order on line with any of your favourite book sellers or go directly to Friesen Press by pressing the button on the right. 


Happy reading
