Yup we published his book, and Bob did well out of it. However, our services do not extend to holding an author's hand or making sure they remember to renew their visa.RickyBobby wrote: ↑Wed Dec 26, 2018 2:42 amDidn't you publish his book?

There is no way he paid his overstay costs - he didn't have 2 100 riel notes to rub together.

He's been a fixture in Kampot for years. Anyhow, Good Luck Bob, I wish you well.

That's one way to look at it; he squandered his fortune. The other way is to say he has jack shit income, which doesn't say much for his publisher or book sales. When your publisher cannot even get three likes on their twitter feed, you should know you didn't choose wisely.rozzieoz wrote: ↑Wed Dec 26, 2018 10:08 amWhat a silly comment- He’s his publisher, not his financial advisor.RickyBobby wrote:Didn't you publish his book?

1. Yes, I made sure he got cigarettes and some other essentials delivered.
2. I rarely use Twitter but have no idea what you mean re 3 likes? Even with the rare tweets, there is something like 90 followers iirc.
We are hardly Penguin or MacMillan. Small independent publishers. The problem with Bob's book was that it was the 2nd edition and he'd already garnered his primary sales. We just put out the print version for Cambodia. Bob did well out of it: I'm the one left with a few boxes to shift (anyone want a copy at $5? )

Re: Does Cambodia secretly deport Western overstayers to Thailand without telling the Thais about the overstay?
I’m not down and out and definitely got the passport scrutiny when trying to leave Thailand - in and out visa stamp checks - both Thai and Cambodian, and in addition to my flight reservation to Cambodia, had to show proof of room reservation in Cambodia, and proof of onward flight out of the country.
If you’ll reserve me a copy of that book I can pay you and pick it up next month when I return.
Might need some words on print to dull the eyes in case I’m too exhausted to sleep at night.

Where did you have to show room reservation in Cambodia? At the airport in Thailand? That's interesting.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Wed Dec 26, 2018 12:58 pm I’m not down and out and definitely got the passport scrutiny when trying to leave Thailand - in and out visa stamp checks - both Thai and Cambodian, and in addition to my flight reservation to Cambodia, had to show proof of room reservation in Cambodia, and proof of onward flight out of the country.

If you let people know what it is about, they may be interested.

Forced into retirement following a shoot-out with a notorious gang-boss on the Marseille waterfront, former French detective Andre Velon has settled in a peaceful riverside town in Cambodia. His exotic idyll ends when he is blackmailed by a French intelligence officer into investigating the murder of a young female tourist, sending him on a journey in which he must face his past and overcome the demons in his own mind.
