Excerpt from my novella The Rider of Crocodiles--

It was during this year and a half that Saman’s marriage took place in the relative peace of Nakhon Nayok where he went by the small rivers and waterways.  He decided to leave his wife there with her family, and that might have saved her life.  But he never saw her again and in later years wondered what had happened to her and if he had left her pregnant.  He came back to Ayuthia because in that interim, during the rainy season and the Burmese siege, the rich citizens of Ayuthia were as if mad, spending their money and living it up as if there was no tomorrow.  And there was no tomorrow for many. 

My novella The Rider of Crocodiles--coming soon to an Amazon store on line in print and Kindle editions.
