This symphony of stories conducts you through the great city of Hong Kong. From slumming it on the Peak to redemption in cage beds, from criminal ambition rewarded to noble opportunism betrayed, this collection spans the range of unexpected dreams and broken triumphs that is contemporary Hong Kong. Written by local authors who love this city, Hong Kong Highs and Lows will strike a chord with all who have experienced it.
--- Sorry to the Goodreads Readers to whom I gave away Price's Price. The books were mailed from Hong Kong in August and many remain stuck outside LA Port due to current supply chain issues There's nothing I can do, but please bear with me.---
I had a nomadic upbringing between the UK and US, left home at 17 and, after enrolling in (I was too busy drinking to be said to have attended) university, and a couple of years' drudgery, set off to explore the world.
Hong Kong ended up being my home, but I have lived in most countries in South East Asia and a few in the Middle East and consider myself a citizen of the world.
Writing does not come easily to me, but it is the only way I've found to make sense of the world, and the only activity which is wholly immersive - I'm both cursed and blessed with a passion for something I'm not very good at.
