Owen Jones
Author Owen Jones, from Barry, South Wales, came to writing novels relatively recently, although he has been writing all his adult life. He has lived and worked in several countries and travelled in many, many more. He speaks, or has spoken, seven languages fluently and is currently learning Thai, since he lived in Thailand with his Thai wife of ten years. "It has never taken me long to learn a language," he says, "but Thai bears no relationship to any other language I have ever studied before." When asked about his style of writing, he said, "I'm a Celt, and we are Romantic. I believe in reincarnation and lots more besides in that vein. Those beliefs, like 'Do unto another...', and 'What goes round comes around', Fate and Karma are central to my life, so they are reflected in my work'. His first novel, 'Daddy's Hobby' from the series 'Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya' has become the classic novel on Pattaya bar girls and has been followed by six sequels. However, his largest collection is 'The Megan Series', twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a young teenage girl, the subtitle of which, 'A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!' sums them up nicely. After fifteen years of travelling, Owen and his wife are now back in his home town. He sums up his style as: "I write about what I see... or think I see... or dream... and in the end, it's all the same really..."

Pool Safety Fences - A Buying Guide
If you have had a swimming pool for some time or if you are thinking of getting one - either an above-ground or an in-ground swimming pool - you should check to see whether your district requires you to take any safety precautions. For example, some states in America call for the erection of a swimming pool safety fence by law, others are about to introduce such a law and others are thinking of requiring a pool alarm as well.
However, it is not all one-sided. There are also advantages to the owner of the pool of installing a pool safety fence. The main benefit of such a fence is safety. If you have young children or grand-children, you do not always have the time to supervise them playing in the pool, so a fence is a way of allowing the kids to play in the garden while excluding them from the dangerous pool.
Kids can be scallywags, all adults know that even if some parents think that their own children are not, you can bet your bottom dollar that someone else thinks they are. Our children know that they have to behave in front of us, but what happens when they know that we are not watching? You know, you were a kid yourself once. I climbed the fence into the municipal outdoor pool more than once when I was a teenager and usually after a few beers.
The fact is that if you have an unprotected pool, there is a good chance that the local kids will use it whilst you are away and these days that means negligence on behalf of the pool owner. Whether that is right or wrong, it is like that and if someone were to drown in your pool, you would be in big trouble, unless you could establish that your took reasonable measures to prevent unauthorized access to your pool.
A security pool fence is just about the cheapest way of doing that, although fences can be easily scaled as I full-well know. However, having a fence shows that you have considered the issue and that you have tried to deter intruders.
There are quite a few acceptable styles of pool fencing but it might vary from district to district, so it is first worth checking whether there are any local minimum standards in force in your region. Other than that, there are choices of wire, wood and metal. Wire can include mesh fences as well.
Timber probably looks the best and gives the most options. If you want total privacy, you can have a full fence or if you would like to be able to see out, you could go for hit-and-miss vertical boarding. I do not like mesh, personally. I have painted tens of miles of
