No Worries

Not Far Enough From Worries

It’s the late 1980's in Thailand.

Two young and unsuspecting Englishmen move to Hua Hin to begin a new chapter in the tropical heat.

Somewhere in between, they cross paths with a dubious Dutch ship's engineer, two lovely French girls who are more interested in dogs than romance and a towering Welsh man with a history of drug abuse. The Welsh man is gifted with a unique skill of mixing things to create other things, a gift that has drawn the attention of some very sinister forces.

A lesbian newspaper reporter also has a huge family secret.

The whole story unfolds in an action-packed tale full of fun, romance, and tears.
