Having stories to tell

There is a novel in you for sure. I have only been here for about one month and I have so many stories to tell about sexuality and sex, theft and intrigue and professional conduct. Just add a sprinkling of imagination and you have a story! 

One of the teachers at the school used to come to Thailand to have his teeth fixed at the same time he was having a vacation. He told me he saw the most beautiful women in the world in the dentist's office and kept asking her out on a date. She refused repeatedly but he finally wore her down and now she is his wife. I love that storybook ending, although it probably would not sell....too perfect. 

Talking about wives, one teacher left teaching altogether and returned to her home country. We later found out that her husband was having a transgender operation and will come back to the school as a women after the summer. Now that has got to be a great story.

View from my apartment

Another story was the robbery in my apartment last week. I could write a murder mystery about that. Only one guy had a key to get into my safe through the back door and he is an older British gentleman who manages the apartment. Because of his age and accent you would not think it was him. The maid is always talking and laughing and appears too jovial for the theft and then there is an immigrant who changes light bulbs and was the only one in my room alone. Of course they all deny it, so you could write a book setting one of them up and then in the last chapter have a surprise character come in and steal the money.

As a friend of mine told me who taught computers, no matter what happens you always have a story to tell. Why not read my book, It All Started in Mandalay and tell me what you thought of my old stories I turned into a novel. If you are in Asia you can buy it from Asia books and if you are elsewhere just go to your favourite site where you buy books. I would love to get feedback BEFORE I write the next one
