I am the author of perhaps the only
true travel/backpacker novel about Thailand. And the story begins in Khao San
Road (like The Beach which wasn't anything about Thailand at all but a mythical
desert island!).
Mine is called "Thai Girl", it's not a sex
novel and it's become 'perhaps the best selling English language novel published
in Bangkok in recent years".
So I'd love to see something
about it on your site... a review, a link to www.thaigirl2004.com
or whatever. I'll be pleased to help in any way I can to make your excellent site
even better! So please let me know if you are interested. The book is available
at booksops in THE road.

My new book, "Down the Rat Hole: Adventures
Underground on Burma's Frontiers" is now available in the bookshops of Thailand,
and elsewhere in Southeast Asia. It is published by Orchid Press (Bangkok.) Later
on this year it will be distributed in the US and Europe.
Jill
Ker-Conway, author of "The Road from Coorain" wrote this about "Down the Rat Hole":
"Edith Mirante has a talent for taking her readers with her on her travels among
Burma's threatened tribal peoples. Part reporter, part human rights worker, part
post modern travel writer in the genre chronicling extreme and dangerous journeys,
she introduces another cast of women soldiers and rebel leaders she first began
to report on in Burmese Looking Glass."

Please
tell anyone you know who might enjoy a new book of travels on Burma's "other"
borders -- China, India, Laos and Bangladesh. The first review of "Down the Rat
Hole" is below. If you would like a review copy, please contact Orchid Books:
