The Thai Wife Story JOY

What Critics Say

"Superb descriptions. A great literary achievement."

"Thai girls + Navy SEAL = explosive combination!"

"An inside look at Thailand's massage parlors. I could hear the girls talking."

A polyorchid Navy SEAL's high testosterone level gets him fired for misconduct. One NSA director believes in him, and he gets a second chance to conduct covert operations in Thailand to carry out cyber-attacks on the Chinese. His cover is finding a Thai wife. He falls in love with a young masseuse and waffles about proposing marriage. He meets a beautiful ladyboy, and as his feelings for her grow, he must come to terms with his own sexuality.

The story is narrated by a character who is a Nobel laureate in literature. The COVID-19 pandemic pins him in Annapolis, Maryland. He shares his own mental struggles, battle with alcohol, parents' tragedy, and love affair, as well as many insights into Southeast Asia.
