Havant Literary Festival 25th September 2009
I have been invited to to the Opening night of the Havant Literary Festival for the second year running and I look forward to the discussion with Isabel Ashdown and Alex Bell on writing for and about teenagers.
A lift
I have just returned home after a hard day's work and felt ready for the compost heap. But I soon perked up when I was told by Taff Lovesey, ( another author), that his wife (Bridget) had just finished reading 'Touch My Heart' and that she enjoyed it even more than 'Brown Jade'. It is such a thrill to know this, it makes me want to start writing again.
compliments
Who doesn't like a compliment? Not me! Yesterday I received a lovely email from Su, she had just finished reading 'Touch My Heart.' This is what she said:
Hi Yong,
I just wanted to email you to say how fantastic I think your two books are, I read 'Brown Jade' when it came out a few years ago and just yesterday finished 'touch my heart'. Both books are so well written, they both kept my attention throughout and in fact I found it hard to put them both down, eager to know what else was going to happen in Jen's life! I really hope there is a third book on the way as I need to know how Jen's life continues! I would love to have the ability, patience and skills to write a book, I too am a nurse and you are an inspiration to me! Thank you!

Thanks you Su, it means a lot to receive such positive comments. Whether my next book would be a sequel to 'Touch My Heart' would depend on my readers, if more of you readers out there ask for it I would certainly give it my full attention.
I would also like to take this opportunity to announce that I am doing a signing in Nineveh Bookshop in Havant on the 11th of May at 7.30 pm. Many thanks to Tim Dawes for the privilege.
Please do come to see me if you can. I would be happy to answer any questions relating to myself and my book.

Touch My Heart
Hello readers,
I have come back from the wilderness after three years. 'Touch My Heart' is the reasult of much teeth gnashing and hand wringing. I have not been hibernating but rather cogitating and debating if I should vist places that my subconscious had comprehensively shut off.
You see readers, writing 'Touch My Heart' had really touched my soul. To write this book I had to face up to so many lost opportunites that my character Jen had to wrestle with and came up smiling. As for me, well, I smile all the time, after all I am fit, alive and kicking.

Brown Jade (Paperback) by Yong Pease ISBN: 1905203950
Book of the Month July 2006
Brown Jade is a story of Hope. A story of effort and achievement, family and friendship. When the vicissitudes of life make a dramatic entrance, it is even more important to keep one's dream alive. Jen, the central character, has all the qualities and the foresight to see the road ahead that is filled with promise, yet she hesitates. This trait resides in Jen as in all of us. At some point in her life she learns about courage, and acquires the wisdom that enables her to make the right choice. Read about the exoticism of a different culture. The book opens a window for you to experience the vibrancy of a cosmopolitan environment that is tempered by an equatorial climate, lush greenery, swaying palm trees and equisite food.Life in 1950's Malaya for the heroine was inkind-hardship and poverty wal all she knew. With an ailing mother close to death, and three siblings to look out for, responsibility weighed heavily on her shoulders. In the midst af all the changes a stranger enters the family broken world, life is destines to be different....For more details and to purchase a signed copy EMAIL DIRECT
