    About this ebook

    Tiger Lily of Bangkok
    When the seeds of revenge blossom!

    Lily was born and raised in her parents’ general store in a village in north-eastern Thailand near the Mekong River and the border with Laos. Her early childhood was a happy one although her Chinese parents did not show their emotions much as befitted their age and culture. Still Lily was happy.

    Happy that is until a man she called uncle, a friend of the family who used to help out in the shop, started abusing her at just eleven years of age.

    She did not feel that she could tell her family and it took two years before a chance happening in the school playground gave her an idea how to put an end to her torment.

    The solution was radical, but it worked. The man never bothered her again, but it also had the effect of making all the other villagers wary of her. Lily grew more and more lonely until at eighteen, she was perfectly ready to move the nearly 1,000 km to Bangkok to study medicine, although she knew no-one there and had never left the province before.

    However, life in the capital was not all roses either as she was short of money to pay for her course and living expenses.

    The only solution she could think of was to have several ‘boyfriends’ and she invented different personas for each. It wasn’t long before the strain of her lifestyle became too much for her with disastrous consequences for people around her.

    However, would any of it happened at all if she had not been abused as a child?

    The good people of Bangkok will never know, but you might.

    Tiger Lily of Bangkok is the thrilling story of a young woman’s quest for revenge.

    Author

    Owen Jones

    Author Owen Jones, from Barry, South Wales, came to writing novels relatively recently, although he has been writing all his adult life. He has lived and worked in several countries and travelled in many, many more. He speaks, or has spoken, seven languages fluently and is currently learning Thai, since he lived in Thailand with his Thai wife of ten years. "It has never taken me long to learn a language," he says, "but Thai bears no relationship to any other language I have ever studied before." When asked about his style of writing, he said, "I'm a Celt, and we are Romantic. I believe in reincarnation and lots more besides in that vein. Those beliefs, like 'Do unto another...', and 'What goes round comes around', Fate and Karma are central to my life, so they are reflected in my work'. His first novel, 'Daddy's Hobby' from the series 'Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya' has become the classic novel on Pattaya bar girls and has been followed by six sequels. However, his largest collection is 'The Megan Series', twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a young teenage girl, the subtitle of which, 'A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!' sums them up nicely. After fifteen years of travelling, Owen and his wife are now back in his home town. He sums up his style as: "I write about what I see... or think I see... or dream... and in the end, it's all the same really..."
