Bangkok is called the ‘City of Angels’ but actually ‘Bangkok’ translates to ‘village of wild plums’. The city known by westerners as ‘Bangkok is actually named ‘Krung Thep’ and that does translate to ‘city of angels’, ‘the great city’, ‘the eternal jewel city’. Bangkok was the capital until the late 1700’s when King Rama I moved the capital to Krung Thep.
Actually if the complete truth were told, ‘Krung Thep’ is just the shortened version of the name which is ‘Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit’. This has practically nothing to do with the book ‘Blame It On Bangkok
‘ and forunately, J.F. Gump didn’t name this book ‘Blame it on Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit’.
Blame It On Bangkok by J.F. Gump
A quote from a reviewer – This book has a series of stories that grip and hold your heart. It’s the best collection of short stories I’ve ever read. True, honest, warm and engaging… I only wished there were more because I didn’t want it to end. Thanks J. F. Gump, and keep ‘em coming!

I found something that all you golf literature fans will love. Well, I didn’t actually find them: the author pointed me to this golf story. The first I’m featuring (of three golf literature books) is Tuey’s Course
.
Tuey’s Course by James Ross
Racial tension had been building for years near Prairie Winds Golf Course on the east side of St. Louis. In 2007, black businessman, Tuey O’Tweety faced the brunt of the discrimination.
Can the game of golf resolve the issue?
Life becomes even more difficult for Tuey when the frustrations of harassment become a daily nuisance. Corrupt politicians, manipulated city hall employees, and hypocritical community leaders add to the unrelenting aggravation.
Through an odd connection Tuey lands with an eclectic group of golfing misfits. Daily visits to the golf course expose him to an unfamiliar slice of life. An unlikely player leads him down a seemingly innocent path. The world of black and the world of white become intertwined in a world of intricate fantasy.
Join head golf pro J Dub Schroeder and his brother Curt, as they open the clubhouse doors of Prairie Winds Golf Course to a man trying to find his way out of an impoverished situation. One by one a Catholic priest, greedy banker, local farmer, retired luxury car dealer, Japanese businessman, evangelistic preacher and college football referee weave their lives into Tuey’s plight. Explore the convoluted path through the fairways of Prairie Winds Golf Course that has become “Tuey’s Course.”
Tuey’s Course by James Ross
I’ll be posting a trailer to the next golf story in a couple of days and then the third golf story to complete the three book golf literature set. Each has its own golf story but the literature books share some golf characters.

War letters home from a WW II Marauder shows his Softside
After Joseph “Skip” Skibinski passed away, an historical war literature goldmine was discovered in his attic. Seven years worth of war letters home dating back to World War II from Skibinski to his future bride were found. This compilation of war letters and war cables reveals a true story of love, hope, despair, and transformation of a young man serving overseas during World War II.
Softside by Joseph Skibinski
Softside illustrates not only a timeline of years, but the timeline of love; how a young man fighting in a war transforms from his fancy for a woman to a deep, abiding love. Through his war letters home we see how the woman of his dreams undergoes a transformation into his reason to survive.
The Ultimate Transformation Series
More than an account of war, Softside is a story told in war literature of love and patriotism told in the war literature words of a WWII Marauder. It touches the heart of anyone who believes in finding and keeping their one true love and gives us a glimpse into the heroic and patriotic actions of World War II veterans.
Transform Yourself and Find Enduring Love
Upon finding these war letters, Skibinski’s family wished to share this piece of history with the world. Skibinski would never realize the lasting gift of war literature he gave, which revealed a side of him never before seen by younger generations of his family.

I received a comment from a self published author on my ‘no strings attached‘ post. I’ll past it here to save your click. “I’m beginning to wonder why I should have bothered. I still love the book. Just can’t convince others it’s worth reading!” What is wrong with this world? A person spends creativity and energy to give birth to a literature book, and then they can’t even get even a few others to read it. This is EXACTLY why I started ClickMyLit.Net and my no strings attached promotion services for self published literature books. This is where Big Publishers have dropped the ball. Kickshaw Candies might be a diamond in the rough – but who would ever know?
Can we get a click my lit follower or two to give Kickshaw Candies a read? (I’m doing my part too. This book isn’t on Amazon yet so I don’t even get my few pennies commission.)
Kickshaw Candies by R.K. Finnell
The town of Baile seems to be just a small town with ordinary people until Teagan O’Brien opens an unusual candy shop. Something ancient and buried begins to awaken in the people when they consume his sweets. They remember a life they had long ago left behind becoming their true selves, and a maleficence awakens that had been locked away in forgotten memories. Out of those memories comes the truth of what brought them to the world of humans and the path back to the place they call home. The path to their salvation depends on three of their human-born children, who are thrust into a future of uncertainty as each one discovers the truth behind the people of Baile and the secrets locked within their own bodies and Only these three have the ability to overcome the evil that threatens to corrupt and dominate every living creature, to save not only their kind, but humanity itself.
I recommend ClickBank Pirate for non-techies to share in Internet wealth.

The miracle of life from death’s perspective
The Miracle of Death
is a narrative of one family’s extraordinary grief experiences, including precognitive dreams, visions, afterdeath communications, out of body experiences, and synchronistic events, surrounding multiple deaths in their family. The sole survivor and narrator is a Western trained academic who initially struggled to accept realities that ultimately changed every aspect of her life. Weaving personal, historical and mythic perspectives, Dr. Betty Kovacs shows us that such individual experiences along with cutting-edge scientific research support a radical change in the way we think about death–and life.
The Miracle of Death by Betty J. Kovacs, Ph.D.
According to one rave literature reviewer – ‘There is a unique blend of western and nonwestern concepts in this book. Dr. Kovacs often reflects on the concepts of Carl Jung yet she also utilizes the Native American Medicine Wheel, Celtic Spirituality and Ancient Egyptian concepts systems. Dr. Kovacs creates a fused modality of symbolic analysis, earth celebration and ritual; the outcome concepts inspire miracle personal healing and global transformation.’
Score the Ultimate Miracle with a Hot New Guy
Another reviewer says – ‘Dr. Kovacs weaves emotion into the literature pages that will leave you gripping the literature book, refusing to put it down. I finished it in one sitting and was left with some new insights into the concepts of life, death and the relationships between the two.’
The Miracle of Death by Betty J. Kovacs, Ph.D.
The The Miracle of Death is miracle reading on some topical concepts that are emerging faster than great literature.
