Having a Pattaya bookshop, I thought I may as well write a book, the book actually much more than something as flippant as that, triggered by something that happened 5 years ago here in Pattaya Thailand. As well as suffering life in a wheelchair for the past 6 years with a muscle wasting illness. Somewhat of a life story from a Country boy from Canterbury, Kent. Living my dream as a gamekeeper, then that years later falling apart and taking up voluntary work with the Samaritans, which led to running the listener scheme in Standford hill and Elmley prison on the isle of Sheppey. Things from there... well you couldn't make that sh*t up...also available on Amazon..

True History of the Kelly Gang BY PETER CAREY “I lost my own father at 12 yr. of age and know what it is to be raised on lies and silences my dear daughter you are presently too young to understand a word I write but this history is for you and will contain no single lie may I burn in Hell if I speak false.” In True History of the Kelly Gang, the legendary Ned Kelly speaks for himself, scribbling his narrative on errant scraps of paper in semiliterate but magically descriptive prose as he flees from the police. To his pursuers, Kelly is nothing but a monstrous criminal, a thief and a murderer. To his own people, the lowly class of ordinary Australians, the bushranger is a hero, defying the authority of the English to direct their lives. Indentured by his bootlegger mother to a famous horse thief (who was also her lover), Ned saw his first prison cell at 15 and by the age of 26 had become the most wanted man in the wild colony of Victoria, taking over whole towns and defying the law until he was finally captured and hanged. Here is a classic outlaw tale, made alive by the skill of a great novelist.

An extraordinary account of the war in Iraq. 'Once we passed the checkpoint at the border, it hit me. I was like, Holy Shit, this is it, I'm entering a combat zone. Cool!' At twenty-six Colby Buzzell, unemployed and living at home, decided to join the US Army. Within months he was in Iraq, a machine gunner in the controversial Stryker Brigade Combat Team, an army unit on the cutting edge of combat technology and the first of its kind. Trapped amid 'guerrilla warfare, urban-style' in Mosul, Iraq, Buzzell was struck by the bizarre and often frightening world surrounding him. He began writing a blog describing the war - not as being reported by CNN or official briefings - but as experienced by the soldier on the ground. His story is a brutally honest and hard-hitting account of the absurdities of modern war. These are the real stories of the war: a firefight where the resistance came from 'men in black'; a night spent chain-smoking in the guard tower counting the tracer bullets being fired over the city; and the hesitation of a young soldier who had been passed around from platoon to platoon because he was too afraid to fight. My War is a powerful story of a young man and a war, unlike any you have read before.
Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI, by American journalist David Grann.. In the early 1870's, the Osage, a Native American tribe of the Great Plains, were forced by the US government to move out of Kansas as white settlers (including Laura Ingalls Wilder’s family of the Little House on the Prairie) arrived in the region. The Osage moved to Oklahoma where, because they paid for their new lands, they kept the mineral rights. The 1897 Bartlesville gusher put Oklahoma on the oil map and by 1907 the state was the largest US producer of oil, making the Osage “the richest nation in the world per capita”, with each Osage receiving royalties from the oil revenue; in 1923 alone, the tribe earned $30 million – about $400 million today. But this was not to be without dire consequences for them. In 1921 the US Congress passed a law requiring that, because of “incompetence”, each Osage member had a government-appointed paid “guardian” to manage his or her oil income. In the early 1920's a series of mysterious murders, using gunshot and poison, took the lives of dozens of the Osage. The murders were committed so the perpetrator could inherit the deceased’s wealth or life insurance, or to eradicate evidence and witnesses of previous murders. A Tragic Story American journalist David Grann has devoted a whole book, Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI, to this tragic and mysterious piece of history - a far cry from the Wild West of the movies. Although related to oil, the book is primarily a story of human greed, corruption and brutality. The story is not new; as Grann acknowledges in the bibliography at the end of the book, several previous books (novels as well as non-fiction) have chronicled and exposed it. But it is not well known - I did not know about it before reading Grann’s book. It is also a piece of history full of inconvenient truths and important lessons to reflect on. Grann’s writing is fascinating and the reader is given sufficient historical information in a well-written style to follow the murder cases. At its heart lie two families, or rather two people. The first is Mollie Burkhart, whose sisters Minnie, Anna, Rita (together with her husband Bill) and mother Lizzie Que were all murdered; she was poisoned too, but saved. Mollie’s life thus epitomizes the Osage victims. The second person is William Hale, a white cattleman and the self-styled ‘King of the Osage Hills’ who, together with his nephews Ernest Burkhart (Mollie’s husband) and Bryan Burkhart (Anna’s boyfriend), along with several outlaws and henchmen, masterminded some of the murders. Part I of the book (The Marked Woman) chronicles the murder cases, while Part II (The Evidence Man) describes how the Osage Indian murders were the first major homicide project for the Federal Bureau of Intelligence (founded in 1908) under J. Edgar Hoover, although the actual investigations were carried out by Tom White and his undercover agents in Osage County. This part of the book reads like a Sherlock Holmes story - except that it is an actual history, complicated by the corruption and bribery of several local officials. After the highly publicized trial of Hale and his gang, the government passed a law prohibiting white people from inheriting Osage wealth. Part III (The Reporter) narrates Grann’s own exploration of the history, as he traveled to Osage County, interviewed descendants and experts and studied thousands of pages of FBI archives on the story. Flower-Killing Moon Osage is the French version of the tribe’s name and supposedly means warlike. The Osage call themselves “Wa-zha-zhe” which means “the people of middle waters.” Today, they have a population of about 20,000, of whom nearly 7,000 reside in the tribe’s jurisdictional land. In 2000 the Osage sued the US government over its failure to pay tribal members appropriate royalties, settling in 2011 for $380 million. As for the title of the book: “flower-killing moon” is how the Osage refer to May, because in that month taller plants creep over the smaller ones and break their flowers. Anna was murdered in May, 1921. A Hollywood movie based on the book is due in 2019. I cannot wait to watch it and see how it captures this fascinating history.

The English Governess at the Siamese Court: The True Story Behind 'The King and I' by Anna Harriette Leonowens.. Anna Leonownes' memoir of her six year as a governess in the Royal Palace of Bangkok was the inspiration for the beloved Broadway musical The king and I, as well as two award-winning films. First published in 1870. Leonowens' memoir is the true story of a proper English governess who is hired by the King of Siam to tutor his many children. A delightful portrait of an unlikely friendship between two headstrong personalities, it is also a revealing peak at two very different cultures.
