We have had three of our novels translated into Russian recently, and I have at long last found the time to add them to my blog. Others will follow in due course, indeed, we are having two more translated as you are reading this article.

The first is the Russian translation of the first volume of Behind The Smile – the story of Lek, a bar girl in Pattaya: “Daddy’s Hobby”. Marvellously translated by the very able Dasha Elsova, who is currently working on the sequel.

“Daddy’s Hobby” tells the story of Lek, a farmer’s daughter from northern Thailand, who had to go to Pattaya to work in a sex-tourism bar to prevent the bank from foreclosing on her family’s farm, which would have meant her mother losing her home and livelihood, and her siblings having to leave school.

The second is the Russian translation of The Disallowed – the humorous story of a contemporary vampire family. The Disallowed refers to the people who have been bitten and made the change into vampires. This is a humorous and philosophical version of the more scary original version of the vampire story translated by the very talented Hebs Orest.

And the third is the Russian translation of the Megan Series – A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger, and One Scary Mother! This series is about a psychic teen, who is looking for help to understand her supernatural powers, but can’t find anyone… no-one living, that is. This and the Ukrainian version were both translated by the polyglot Oksana Ryndina.

The book company that I a directing you to is the Italian firm Tektime. They facilitated the translation of these novels and their narration as well in many cases. However, there are lots of other outlets, some in your own country such as: ЛитРес and Партнерские площадки. In addition, there are also all the usual international English-language retailers such as: Amazon, Apple, Google, Kobo, Overdrive, and Scribd etc..

Lastly, please leave any feedback or suggestions you may have below.

Best wishes,

Chalita took over from Owen Jones as the owner of this blog, because Mr. Jones wanted to devote more time to writing, while Chalita wanted to get into blogging and help readers and writers to follow their passion for books.
Chalita is new to blogging and reviewing books, but she is learning quickly and is eager to help.
'If I cannot help directly, I know that I can always call on Owen', she says. 'Owen has vast experience in reading and writing books, and has more than a thousand books registered in his name at the British Library'.
The dog, Angun, which means Grape or Grapes in Thai, was an eighteenth birthday present from a friend. She was a lovely dog in every way imaginable, but was killed shortly after giving birth to and raising her first brood of puppies. She is sadly missed, and hasn't been replaced.
'A new dog just wouldn't be the same', she said sadly.
Anyway, times have changed, and Chalita now has a demanding job in Bangkok.
'I will be devoting as much time as I can to running the blog though', she said earnestly. 'And, if I see that people like my style of blogging, then I will rearrange my life a little in order to devote more time to it. I love reading and interacting with people anyway, so that wouldn't be a hardship. I suppose that I have to wait for the older visitors to get used to my style, and to try to attract new people who will come here for me.
'If you have any ideas about what you would like to see on this blog, please drop me a line' :-)
In the meantime, the format of Megan Publishing Services will remain roughly what it is now - a resource for readers and writers and a showcase for the books of Welsh writer Owen Jones.
Owen Jones has written fifty-odd novels in various genres mostly set in Wales, Spain and Thailand (the three countries where he spends most of his time). Similarly, many of his books have an element of the supernatural or paranormal, but not all of them, since he has a 700,000-word fictional biography, a spy thriller and military drama. Mr. Jones is strong on series. He only has a couple of stand-alone novels.
