Thank you very much for taking the time to read Initiates - and for your comments! The story is part of a set loosely based on the experience of travel. The title is Voyagers and it is available in both book and ebook formats from amazon etc.
Just thought you might like to know this!

Beautifully written Philip. I felt as though I were there, one of the guests. Your descriptions of the clothing, the people and the atmosphere were right on the money. This is the first book of yours I have read, and I am looking forward to reading the rest of them. Excellent.
Congratulations Philip on capturing so well the rigid formality and strangeness of this ceremony, I enjoyed reading it. As a fellow Asia buff you might be interested in either of my two stories set in Burma: River Journey and Mandalay Monsoon. I look forward to reading more of your work.
