Premiere of my novel: South China Morning Blues… Order now!

Here I go. My first (real) novel is about to be published, thanks to the good people at Blacksmith Books.

South China Morning Blues

http://www.amazon.com/South-China-Morning-Blues-Hecht/dp/9881376459

Not talking about an eBook here, but a physical novel. Not to mention professionally edited.

Of course, if you like eBooks please feel free to download at your leisure.

If you however prefer physical books to hold in your hand: Expect to see the novel soon available at bookstores everywhere in Hong Kong, and beyond. Don’t be hasty, feel free to pre-order it today!

My ensemble tale of modern China, full of expats and locals criss-crossing their lives through the cityscape. Twelve voices. Gaze within.

And check out this beautiful cover…

From Canton to Hong Kong, the booming megalopolis of the Pearl River Delta has endless stories to tell. Who finds themselves in rapidly changing 21st-century China? There’s Marco, a businessman with a penchant for call girls; Danny, a culture-shocked young traveler; Sheila, a local club girl caught up in family politics; Terry, an alcoholic journalist; and Ting Ting, an artist with a chip on her shoulder. Their lives intertwine in unexpected ways.

So far I haven’t had the chance to read your books, but it does Sound really interesting. Definitely bookmarked for future splurges on Amazon 😉

I think expats in Japan would definitely enjoy and relate to my stories as well 🙂

Hmm, now that I think about it. Perhaps start with my more memoir-esque “Pearl River Drama”; it’s cheaper and pithy and reads well as an eBook (I like to think). If you enjoy it, check out my longer novel. Actually, if you want, I’d be happy to go ahead and email a PDF of that as a starter. Just be in touch!

  That’s really nice of you 🙂
  I’ll have a look at “Pearl River Drama” but will buy it on Amazon. I think writers need all the Support they can get 😉

If we bought a physical copy (i love the smell of paper and holding a book in my hand), would you sign it?

Good question. If you ordered it on Amazon, not sure how that would work. However if you paid to mail-order from me somehow that could work. Best of all get it in Hong Kong and I’d be happy meet up and sign! 😀

Congrats on a hardcopy novel. Amazing news. Hopefully it comes to Australian shelves, but if not, I will buy it online. Then if we ever have the chance to catch up in person, you’ll have to sign it 😀

Absolutely.

Perhaps with all this interest, I should find a way to pre-sign the ones on Amazon…
