Love in the Air – blurb

Two passengers find some common ground on a flight to Taipei.

Charlie meets Sue-ling on trans-Pacific flight to Taipei after flight delays due to bad weather, and then further delays mean a long stop-over in the transit area at the airport.

Charlie decides to stay at the Airport Hotel where he can get a shower and rest a bit, and is helped by Sue-ling who joins him as she too is delayed by the weather. 

Their in-flight conversation becomes more than friendly, as they have to wait for their flight connections, and a mix-up in the hotel bathroom exposes more than just her skin as their relationship develops.

Love in the Boondocks – a novel by Adam Mann.

Kim has just been divorced by an uncaring husband who was more interested in her money than herself.  She finds work as a Primary School teacher in several remote villages, where she meets Dave who is working with farmer families in some of the same villages.  She finds him attractive and “sets her cap” at him.

Fortunately she speaks English so she manages to meet Dave in several locations before meeting him one evening in his small cottage, on the pretext of getting a lift to a village.

You, the reader, will have to find out what happens next…

The word originated as military slang used by American soldiers engaging guerrillas in the Philippines before World War II, from Tagalog bundok, mountain, from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *bunduk, elevated ground.  The word has since been used by many others to denote a remote and wild area in any country.

Love in the Rain –

Nobody loves like an Irishman!

By a sheer stroke of bad luck Henry gets caught in a tropical storm whilst he’s swimming in the sea.  He sensibly gets out of the water and finds shelter in a beach house, and a few moments later is joined by an equally sodden rain drenched lady.

Felicity is cold and wet and she has nothing dry to wear so she asks Henry to hold her so that they can both benefit from their body warmth until the rain subsides.

The story is set in South East Asia, and culminates in modern day Singapore, but the short note above is only the start of a very long story…

Friday Adam Mann is visiting today and Talking about Who He Was Before #MFRWAuthor #Farming #Vietnam #Africa

1.                 What were you in life before you became a writer? Did this influence your choices as a writer?

I have spent my entire professional life working in developing economies with small scale and poor farmer families trying to improve their productivity.  Initially that was in West Africa, and then other African countries, but for the last thirty five years Asia.  A lot of this was working with the farmer families themselves but the practice has changed over the last 20 years.  Now people prefer that I work with the local government staff, they are called extension services, to train them to replicate the work with farmer families in their own villages, areas or districts.

In this way I have met and worked with many village families, both husbands and wives and their children.  But working in such remote areas was not good for my own family life.  I have been married four times; widowed, divorced, marriage annulled as she had forgotten to get divorced herself, and finally happily married for 22 years to a widow and now happily living in a provincial area in South East Asia.

2.       Are you genre specific or general?

My first books were based on Asian history, where I was working at the time, and the details in the book are basically true except that I have to invent the dialogue, and develop the characters, and occasionally invest people like a waiter or in one book a cabin boy, to make the story more appealing.  It struck me, as I was writing that history never recorded the personal life of the people – what did they like to eat, recreational activities, reading and writing, wives and girlfriends, or husbands and even boyfriends. 

Of course this led to questions like did they like romance and sex?  That meant that I had to introduce characters either as participants or observers that history had missed.

3.                 What is your latest release?

I have edited several novels for writers living in and writing about the parts of Africa in which they lived, and one was East Africa.  I had previously written my own eBook based in Kenya, but another was further south, and I settled on Mozambique.

The eBook is entitled “The Road to Beira”, and is basically a romance story about two people who met as students twenty years earlier, and in Monique’s case a recently divorced woman with two teenage children.

4.                 What am I working on now?

I’m editing a second novel for a writer who based his story in Rhodesia, Malawi and Mozambique, back in the 1930s.  It is hard work but the story is exciting, as his manuscript was typewritten!

5.                 Are you genre specific or general? I don’t mean major genres but sub divisions of romance, mystery, paranormal.

My historical novels were really a phase that I started about 25 years ago, writing only sporadically between projects, working and days off.

My romance novels I started about five years ago after I had retired as I had more time to develop the plot and characters.  I find that romance without sex is unrealistic.  I have used my own experience a lot to develop the plots and characters, but I have omitted pornography after careful consideration as my stories introduce romance before their sexual activities.

6.                 Did your reading influence your choice of a writing career?

Frankly No. I have had to travel a lot on airplanes, and tended to read novels by writers who wrote adventures, which would last for a ten or twelve hour flight.  As a schoolboy we had set books to read, mainly classics, but probably Lady Chatterley’s Lover had more influence than William Pitt the Younger!

7.                 Where can we find you?

I live and work in Vietnam, not in one of the big cities like Hanoi, but in a provincial area with easy access to fields and rivers.

Adam Mann has written 31 romance eBooks, and published 5 Box Sets of 3 or 4 eBooks each, which encompasses a total of 16 of his romance eBooks.
