...And
also the direct translation into English from an obscure
Burmese dialect of the name of a hallucinogenic drug with some
extraordinary properties.
Orange Sound may also be the unseen hand
behind some extraordinary events taking place in the Northumbrian village

This website
attempts to do at least two things:
(1)
promote my novel 'Orange Sound'; and,
(2) chart my success, or
failure, at having this novel published.
(No
submissions yet to any publishers or publishers' agents, and hence zero
refusals to date!)

Orange Sound
A paperback version of 'Orange Sound' is now available from the Orange Sound
Shop!
This paperback version (Cafepress) does not yet have an ISBN (i.e. an
International Standard Book Number) and may well become a
much-valued collector's item in years to come! Now is your opportunity to
own a copy.

Here are some readers' comments
about Orange Sound:
I have read the first ten chapters of your novel and would
very much like to finish it. I thoroughly enjoyed what I've read so
far. It is a combination thriller/suspense/mystery novel with an
added touch of the occult/horror/macabre thrown in. Keep up the good work,
and I can't wait to read your next novel. (E.S.)
Your story was
very interesting, and, I believe, a novel concept. ...it was cohesive
and very entertaining. (S.F.)
I enjoyed very much reading your novel Orange Sound (in fact
Orange Sound was the first novel I read on [a] web site).
(S.H.)
Please email me the password [author's note: a
password is now no longer required] so that I can read the rest
of your novel. So far it's been very interesting, especially the
Thai/British culture fusion.
(S.C.).
