Asia Books Across from Coffee World

When I first starting re-writing the early chapters of Those Who Hear, a novel which actually was originally written in 1st person and I had to switch to 3rd person, it was at Coffee World in the Mall Bangkapi where I would work. I actually had no intention of publishing the story, but like an inventor who needs to tinker when there is nothing else to do, I found myself drawn to this old story and wanted to see if done correctly. In those days there was a shoe store across from Coffee World, but I usually sat on the railing which faced out across the vast exhibition hall of the mall. Here everything from cars to Chinese food might be being sold on any weekend and the variety of products and the lovely ladies who demonstrate those products was always creative inspiration.
Now Those Who Hear is a published novel and I live far from this mall and make it there very rarely, so of course a fabulous new book store has come in across the hall. Of course Asia Books placed an order for THOSE WHO HEAR last week and so I am very hopeful that this book finds a home, a very temporary one, on the shelves of this lovely new store in my old stomping grounds. If you visit Bangkapi, please visit Asia Books new store and while you are there, pick up a copy of THOSE WHO HEAR. If they don't have it, DEMAND IT be ordered!

$14 Shipped Anywhere In the WOLRD

Signed Copies of THOSE WHO HEAR can be purchased for $14. I have factored in shipping to this price and the cost of ink from my really cool book signing pen. Want it signed, let me know what you would like me to say and I'll scribble it in there for you.
Book stores in Asia will be SLOWLY getting this book onto their shelves, but if you want the personal touch of a signed copy delivered directly to you, click the BUY NOW button.

Launch Date is Set for ASTROPATH

The mock up of the cover.

Bangkok Book House has announced the release of the first Astropath Journey. THOSE WHO HEAR releases on Bangkok Books website first: http://www.bangkokbooks.com/ on the 13th of February and then will trickle into book stores by weeks end. It is always difficult in Bangkok to know exactly what stores will have it. This book, unlike ECHO POOL, will not be written under Jonathon Siminoe, but instead will be authored by SIM. Using a pen name has been somewhat liberating. Of course people know its me, but the SIM style of writing will be very different from my literary approach because the focus will be magic, suspense, action, and a touch of wonder.
The plan is to produce 5 Journeys of the Astropaths books. We already are in the process of completing the second book and I am very happy with the progress of the action and development of the characters. We are currently scheduled to release LEARNING TO SEE in the summer of 2008.
