Mark D'Alby's debut novel is partly biographical and partly fiction. His original background being in medicine, he also has gained journalistic experience in the United Kingdom, Europe, and indeed worldwide. He has supported the birth of a new weekly newspaper in Southern Thailand, which covers news stories, articles, health, humanitarian, and animal welfare issues, not only in Thailand, but expanding into nearby Laos, Cambodia, Burma, Malaysia, and Singapore. His next novel Teardrops in Siam is set on the Island of Koh Samui, involving an attractive girl from Isaan, who gets caught up in the bright lights and need to earn big money and deals with the pain and emotions involved in cross-cultural differences between East and West.
