About The Author : Terry Morgan started writing stories and poetry while travelling worldwide with his own exporting company. He writes serious novels, satire and humor. He has worked in over seventy countries and now lives in rural Thailand. Not surprisingly his writing has a strong international flavor. An ‘Honorable Fake’ is his fourth full length novel.
Author’s Acknowledgements : I try to write fiction that is not far-fetched and could, in reality, happen. Research is important and I try to be as accurate as I can but any mistakes in understanding the roles of various government bodies, especially those involved in defense and security, are mine. It’s a novel, don’t forget. I’ve also scattered Nigerian slang around in a lot of the dialogue but, like fashion, slang never stays the same for long. Nigerians who read it might scratch their heads at times. If so, I’m sorry, but I hope you’ll get the gist and understand it’s a while since I was in Nigeria. I’m also grateful to writers of many other e-books I’ve read during the writing of An Honorable Fake, but I’d like to mention two in particular. Tim Watkin’s “The Consciousness of Sheep” was a good read for me. I’d already drawn many of his conclusions about the state of the world economy, the direction of Western society and the unsustainability of the world’s population, but he puts it together very concisely. It’s worth a read. And Teju Cole’s book “Every Day is for the Thief” is such a good illustration of modern Nigeria seen from the eyes of a returnee and resurrected many memories for me.
