Thomas Appleby

Thomas is a 41 year old resident of Indonesia, originally from the UK in another life. He is a freelance writer, and novelist whose book, Life in the harsh lane was published recently.

It's a part memoir, part travel, part anything you want it to be, story of a no body, and associates, and the ridiculous things that have happened to them over the years. Imagine sitting with a mad old racounteer in a pub, who's regaling you with annecdote after annecdote of quite frankly over the top stories, with a twist. They're true.

Travels all round the world, death, near death, arrests, drugs, music, the humour of life and the sadness, alcohol, orgies, you name it, it's there. Transvestites in Texas, hippies in India, attempted kidnapping in Birchington! being told you are going to die in hospital in Indonesia, Falling off camels in Egypt, have a read. You won't be disappointed.
