Dear Reader,
I receive lots of mail from happy readers praising the three books in my Bali Trilogy and I want to share some of it with you here. Some of these are from actual travelers, others are from armchair travelers, but the one thing they all have in common is that all these folks have received plenty of value, and fun, from these three fantastic books. Enjoy!
My wife started reading the Trilogy and is now sleeping with the lights on. Thanks.

I am a professional tourist guide in Bali and I use your books on my tours. Eating Bali helps me save my guests money and eat the best food, Secret Bali tells me more than I knew about the secret true stories of our famous tourist sites that my guests want to visit, Scared To Death surprises me that you discovered how the black magic is used by our society. For many years I hear the rumor about your President Ronald Reagan doing a magic ceremony here and your book confirms it.

I read several of the stories (and I plan to finish them just as soon as I can). I thought they were fantastic! Very enthralling, well written, and certainly make Bali and the surrounding areas sound like fabulous, if slightly dangerous, places to visit. Thanks very much for giving me the opportunity to experience another culture so thoroughly from the comfort
of my own office.

I am a huge fan of horror stories and I loved Scared to Death! The Daughters of Dracula tale gives the definition of Vampire a new twist. I recommend that anybody who loves to be frightened turn out the lights, pull the covers over your head, turn on a flashlight and enjoy!

I started reading Scared to Death and was drawn in by your writing style, character developments, and background stories on real life individuals like President Reagan.

Brilliant, funny, perceptive and wise. An eye for detail and for the silliness and irony of life, in an environment which most Americans could never hope to understand. A point of view which only a real Man of the World, in the best sense of the term, could offer. In short, written by someone who should be sent to observe American society, because he would certainly have some wonderfully piercing commentary about the absurdities and contradictions of American life.

I live in Germany but am from Indonesia and we visit Bali often. Using your books I found the secret places you wrote about and I took many photos. You are correct about all those restaurants and now I eat only the best food when I go to Bali and I save money too. Some of my family in Java uses magic like you write about so I know it is true. Your books are really great!

Seven amazing stories: Scared To Death is one heck of a scary book! If you're a believer, this book is for you. If you're a skeptic, this book will definitely change your mind. I guarantee you'll start sleeping with the lights on!

From the delightful Chinese restaurant that is actually a garment factory to the one whose entrance is inside a souvenir shop, Beshara's digestible, honest and fun-to-read style is a sure way to get rid of the eating blues. An essential guidebook one should not go without in Bali.

A thoroughly fascinating book that should be given to everyone as they board the plane to Bali. It's a rare glimpse into a famous resort haven that until now has managed to keep the dark side of its nature hidden from those it lures to its sunny beaches.

I really enjoyed the portions that I read (there certainly is a lot to read). Anyway, Bali sounds great. I hope that someday I can put this information to use.

We never got this much fun from a CD before. A great value that we will enjoy over and over!
Sam & Sandy T., Houston, Texas
I got your book and like it very much. Bali is our place to go for family holiday and we like visiting the secret places you tell us about and the restaurants you recommend. Where I live we have much magic like you tell about in Bali and it works the way you say it does. This is against our Moslem religion but people do it anyway and it is powerful and dangerous and scary.

We received all 3 books as e-books and they are great! Thank you!
