Yawn by Collin Piprell

Yawn by Collin Piprell
Not Your Average Holiday in Thailand

A bawdy romp of a thriller set in Thailand from the author of Bangkok Knights

A tale of wild adventure and totally radical therapy for suburban life gone stale

Waylon didn’t want to go to Thailand for their vacation. He told Chloe it wasn’t a good idea. And, sure enough, within hours of arriving at their beachside bungalow, it all goes horribly wrong.

Waylon yawns his mightiest yawn ever that first morning in Thailand – and then bonks Meredith, his sister-in-law. Within a day he inadvertently leaves both her and Chloe, and before he sees either of them again, he survives both a tour of duty with the Happy Hookers, and a series of underwater adventures with a woman so dangerous the sharks shy away. He almost gets shot and drowned, and suffers the kind of hangover that makes getting shot and drowned a welcome relief.

Chloe, meanwhile, is threatened with enlightenment during a meditation course at the Holistic Herbal Garden and Institute of Holographic Healing – the 4H Club. She is then kidnapped, drugged, and otherwise abused by the Club’s secret owner – a local godfather who’s plunging into utter madness. Then there’s also the small matter of Yawn’s whacked-out supporting cast of gunmen, gurus, crooks, con-men, barflies, freaks, and seekers after truth; not to mention an explosive full-moon party to end all full-moon parties.
