My novel 'Kinnara' is set in Phuket, Thailand and also in Norwich, England.
Being a regular visitor to Thailand has given me a good understanding of the country's culture and its wonderful people. Both my wife and I are fortunate to have many Thai friends who have left us with more than a passing knowledge of their language.
So, for a long time, I'd wanted to write about this captivating country and its welcoming people.

At the heart of Kinnara's story there are three main characters: Sawat, the eternally-optimistic beach vendor who patrols Patong beach: Calum, a young English guy who flies to Phuket alone after catching his girlfriend in a compromising situation: then there's 'The Mother Killer', a psychotic murderer who preys on expectant mothers in Germany.
Neither Sawat, Calum, nor the killer, yet realise that their destiny lies in the hands of a mythical creature who resides beneath the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea.

The UK publishing editor very kindly gifted me the following review:
'Murder, myth and Mr Ordinary meet up in this extraordinary novel. However bad the weather is here, Ansbro's vivid writing will transport you to a sun-drenched tropical island - with darkness at its heart. I loved it!'
-Karen Holmes, editor 2QT
