"Thai Private Eye" due for publication 2009
Foreword by Warren Olson, Author
continued... Since then our epistemology or 'the way we think' has continued to differ between East and West. These differences became apparent to me, when after living in Thailand for many years, and entwined in local culture, beliefs and language, I returned to the somewhat upfront, abrupt nature of Kiwi culture, that may be mistaken as arrogance, by many Asians.
With this in mind, and also being nothing of the 'word-smith' Stephen Leather is, I will not even attempt to enrich characters in the manner he did, but aim to include more of the Asian culture, beliefs, reasoning in this book. My hope is then that apart from being an entertaining read, it will also perhaps help narrow some of the lack of understanding or credibility gap, that I am only too aware, often exists between those of Western and Asian heritage.
