How Thing Happen?

I was asked by Cambodian film director Tim Pek for writing a new short story. Two weeks later I sent him a draft. The I don’t have any reply yet. During the research, I found a subject that would be very interesting to write about Cambodia. I have waited since many year, like the rain wait for the time to fall, like the follower wait for the summer. And maybe it might because of another reason. Thank to my lovely wife that always support me in writing. She would be my perfect first reader.

What Is It About?

I failed as I mentioned in my previous short story Katuoch to find a subject to write a book about Cambodia. I confessed at that time I don’t have any interesting to write. But now I found many stories to write. It is all in me right now.

I am not attempting to become Truman Capote , I not yet read his famous book IN COOL BLOOD. But you won’t be surprised if my story was written in opposite way that you used to look at Cambodia.

A shock report have been issued on the International Woman’s Day.

This is the first time I work on non-fiction book. But since I don’t have time to do the research I might still write a fiction book and base on those events I found from various sources.

The story would be located in a famous village Samlot, Battambang Province. It was there where the rice grows and many stories happened.

I got few stories in mind, if personally you got any interesting story, you are always welcome to let me know and discuss. Maybe you can write it a part by yourself on the book.

Don’t forget to join 500 fans of Cambodia No.1 Sources on facebook for more details and follow my independent project.
