Starboy

Starboy is a New Adult mystery novel with a touch of comedy. Follow Darason, the so-called son of the Lord of Stars, from his birth to his ‘going away’. Set mainly in Siem Reap, Cambodia and on the planet Thestias, this story is an irreverent look at the exploits of our planet’s next saviour.
Watch the child as his power grows. Guided by the uber-camp angel, Julian, Darason struggles with his parentage. Who is his true father? Is it the drunken fiancé of his mother? Due to be published May 2017

The Tea Room - The Buddha's Eye

Follow the adventures of the Baroness Aster Moffat of Woolfardisworthy (that is pronounced Woolsery, darling. Dontcha know your Devonshire place names?) and Miss Dorothy Gwendoline Hunton-Blather as they travel from their home in Devon to Siem Reap, on the doorstep of the magnificent temples of Angkor. Aster’s mission, to save the children of Cambodia from starving by opening a real Devon tea room in the tropics where the impoverished youngsters can receive succour.

The White Building

This is the story of the residents in a decaying slum in Phnom Penh. It is a gritty dark story, full of the true struggles they face - hopelessness, unemployment, poverty. It is the story of the relationship between the honest, hard working members of the society and some of the seedier of the Building's inhabitants - gangsters, drug users, child abusers, pimps and prostitutes.

Gathering of Dragons Book 1

The year is 1214. Ancient, obese, invalided King Jaya Varman VII has been on the throne for thirty years. He is beset by a sycophantic council, and a pair of scheming wives who can't stand each other. He is fed up with climbing the Celestial Temple every night to couple with the Dragon Woman. He wants to abdicate, but his oldest son, Vira, won't accept the challenges of the role as king. His only other surviving heir, Indra, is sixteen and in the king's mind, a fool.

Tumult of Dragons

The five good have united.

Dhara has registered to take part in the grand sword-fighting tournament of the Jai-Dee festival. His first bout is against Larm ‘op Treak.

The lad beats him in the opening fight, and the two become fast friends.

As a token of their friendship, Dhara takes Larm to his friend the blacksmith. However, the man dupes him, and imprisons him while he goes to fetch the Mohendra, servant of the Lord of Darkness. Will Dhara escape?

Spirits of the Manor

Locals believe that Whernside Manor, in Dent, North Yorkshire, is haunted. Supposedly there are iron rings in the cellar where slaves were shackled. It is historical fact that Edmund Sill, a local landowner and wealthy man from the mid 1700s dealt with slaves, and his brother John used them on his sugar plantation in Jamaica. It is also historical fact that in the 1980s, Whernside Manor was the National Caving and Fell Centre.

"Was it a sad, happy ending or, a happy, sad ending?"

"Have to say I just loved the adventures of Baroness Aster Moffat of Woolfardisworthy

and her side-kick Miss Dorothy Gwendoline Hunton-Blather."

Connect with Guy Singer

I currently live in England, having retired from my previous employment as a self-employed website designer. Now, I devote all my time to writing. Since my late thirties, I've been nomadic, spending large periods in the United States, the Netherlands, Thailand and most recently in Cambodia. While there, I lived in Siem Reap, the home of the great temples of the Angkor Park.

Much of my spare time was spent cycling around the countryside and seeing how typical villagers lived. Along with my companion, Sina, who provided much of the inspiration for my books, I would travel to a village and chat with the locals. Their stories are inspirational. I use these proud people as the characters in my stories. From young boys the subject of sex traffickers in the Cambodian Innocence Series to the fantasy characters in the Dragon Series, life in Cambodia has changed little in a thousand years. In The White Building, I was moved to write about deprivation in the capital city of Phnom Penh.

My continuing desire to reach the weight of my youth is helped by my trusted bicycle, which carries me to places new for research, and wrecked by my love of cakes, devoured during the writing process. I tend to write in coffee shops, where full English Breakfasts are my downfall.
