MALAYA - a novel of colonial life

This novella (42k words) seeks to evoke a world now gone.

It is offered as a contrast to That Would Be Me.


All those yeas ago, when I still dreamed of print publication, I had a fantasy of the cover - ivory letters on white spelling Malaya (to suggest the evanescent quality of the country itself). Maybe the suggestion, in the palest green, of a coconut palm frond forming the top of the M of Malaya. Nothing else on front. My name and other things on back cover (in verdant green).

Wasn't I a silly billy?
