Ten Months in Wonderland

Sensual, seductive, and sometimes disturbing. This vivid, masterfully written novel chronicles a young man's journey into manhood among the temptations of drugs, booze, and sex. What happens when a young married man is dragged from his normal life into the dark folds of post war Thailand.

Airman Kevin Grayson, a happily married, nineteen-year-old family man, is deployed to an airbase in Udorn in the fall of 1973. He is completely unprepared for two things that will change his life forever: Thailand’s seamy underbelly and Jerry, his dark mentor, who will lead him into a lifestyle he could never have imagined. Thrust into the seedy world of hardcore booze, drugs, and sex, Grayson must face losing everything he holds dear and risk becoming trapped down the rabbit hole forever.
