Discover thrilling tales from Thailand to Wales – 60 novels by Owen Jones!
This section covers posts that in general do not fit into other sections easily. They will mostly be made by admin on whatever I am adding at that moment, which is usually something to do with writing, publishing, websites, eating or Thailand, which is where I live :-)
Publishing I am having quite a time of publishing at the moment. Yesterday, I published the 112,000-word fifth sequel to Behind The Smile, called The Dream and today I published the second in the Megan Compilation Series of five 11,000-word…
A Milestone Today was a pretty good day, a milestone, you could say. I finished my NaNoWriMo 2015 entry, A Night in Annwn, a fortnight ahead of schedule and I finished editing the sixth volume, The Dream, in the Lek…

Effective Ways To Start Blogging Everybody has something to say and most people are passionate about something that they want to talk on. Some want to take this desire to communicate a few stages further – they want to tell…
Blogging for Pleasure and Fun There are many reasons why someone might come to blogging. For example, you may want to use your blog to promote your business or website; you may want to use it to promote your ideas,…
Books and Newspapers I am not going to claim that this idea is revolutionary or even new, but it occurred to me yesterday that the main difference between books and newspapers is fact and ideas. A friend was telling me…
Inspiration We are six days into NaNoWriMo 2015, and my novel is coming on quite well. I have written about nineteen thousand words in five chapters. However, ‘A Night in Annwn’ far from written. I suppose I am about thirty-five…
Smoked Salmon I wish that I could say ‘Thank God it’s Friday!’ with some conviction, but the truth of the matter is that all the days are the same where I live. Most of them anyway. I had a rare…
NaNoWriMo Entry 2015 I think I have my NaNoWriMo Entry for 2015. I don’t mean that I have written it, that would be against the rules, as entrants are not allowed to even begin writing until tomorrow, but I have…
Village Life This is becoming monotonous, sorry. It’s been a week now… up and down more often than knickers in a city’s public toilets. I’m sick to death of the crappy Internet ‘Service’ in this village. I don’t want to…
New Story Isn’t it funny? Before, when I was office manager for our family construction firm, I always had dozen things to do a day, now I think it’s a lot if I have seven a week! The tasks take…

Behind The Smile 6: The Dream The Dream, the title of Behind The Smile 6, takes up the story of Lek, her family and friends from two years further down the line. In the past, it has always been Lek…
More of the Same Reading my recent posts must be becoming as boring and predictable as my Internet reception is for me! It is just more of the same! Unfortunately, the story today is also more of the same. Last…
No Internet Connection I really want to apologise to all the people I work with on the Internet for letting them down so often this week, but my Internet connection has been shockingly bad. One bad day is unusual, but…
The Solution As my regular readers will know, life has been pretty frustrating for me for the last couple of days, but last night the thought occurred to me that the reason why Amazon and Facebook might be behaving oddly…
Dreary Day That dreary problem with the Internet seemed to be over this morning and I got three new versions of Lek up (new covers and updated interiors). It would normally have taken thirty minutes each, but I didn’t mind…
One of Those Days It has been one of those days so far, and I mean since midnight to now, nine twelve p.m. and I can’t see it getting any better either which makes it even worse. I have been…
