Hell in Paradise is a personal account of my quest to find my friends after the Tsunami in the South of Thailand in 2004. A long-time ex-pat in Thailand, it tells my tale of spending 4 days in the aftermath of the devastating tsunami putting the clues together and trying to determine if they are still alive. An emotional, thought-provoking book describing horrific events that touched me to my core. Even now, after almost 20 years, those 4 days spent in hell are still with me so vividly that it needed to be written.

The story starts with how we became close friends in a very short time, and what drove me to the decision to go find them. 

Next year we are to commemorate the upcoming 20th anniversary of the world’s worst disaster in the history of mankind in December 2024. Sharing my story before this somber date should therefore honor all those who have lost family and friends.
