About orey and his novels

Lon Orey served for three years in Military Intelligence for the US Army during the late sixties, the height of the Vietnam War. Much of that time was spent in nearby Thailand after studying the language at the Defense Language Institute. While the two books he's had published so far are works of fiction, the framework within which the stories are told reflect his real-world observations of the country and the various intelligence services operating there -- as enhanced by an active imagination. He had fun creating these colorful tales, with tongue planted firmly in cheek, and he hopes you'll have fun reading them. Both works have experienced highly favorable professional reviews. Orey is now retired but continues to write. He is currently working on two novels simultaneously. One is a murder mystery tentatively titled "The University Murders," and the other can best be described as a suspenseful love story. It is titled "A Handful of Fridays."
