Mist on the Jungle
"The story is a good one, neatly shimmying between professional and personal, between intra-company business and larger sprawling affairs, including brilliantly convincing negotiations with government officials."

A lascivious businessman who prefers lady-boys to ladies, a depressed captain who threatens to sink his own ferry, a woman who eats more than food, and a Thai widow finding her late husband’s roots in Crete—these are just some of the engaging characters who appear in this original collection of short stories.

Often amusing, sometimes comical and occasionally sad, these tales are always touching. William Peskett writes with a light touch and brings a sensitive and sympathetic eye to bear on a wide variety of characters and an unusual mixture of relationships.

Most of the stories in the collection are set in Thailand or have a Thai connection and have much to reveal about how life is lived by locals and by foreigners resident in this fascinating part of the world.

Available as an e-book and as a 181-page paperback.
