I've been missing the flavors of Spain so I enjoyed a Spanish tapas potluck last week! I relived some flavorful fun moments in this article. Enjoy!

Castles without crowds, long beach promenades, and acres of fragrant orange groves. These were among the delights we found on our road trip along the Mediterranean coast of Spain. This was our second road trip in Spain

"Writing Across Borders" this week at the Mill Valley Library:
• a novelist
• a TCK memoirist (me!)
• an immigrant memoirist
Different genres. Shared questions—identity, belonging, and mother-daughter ties.
Bonus brilliance from Barbara Lane.

I'm honored that my story (a letter to Dacca) was accepted for the "Letters Now Sent, Vol 2" anthology AND that they selected my letter as an example in the Call for Submissions (still open until June, if you'd like to submit!).

Mallorca was such a treat. Loved our hotel on the edge of old town, away from the crowds and hiking on the GR221 in the mountains was gorgeous.

Finally, I have my copy of "Moonshadow: Tales of Hidden Light," the latest anthology from Redwood Writers. I'm so pleased to see my story, "When the World Looked Away," featured among so many talented writers. Link to Moonshadow: Tales of Hidden Light: amzn.to/4pVWPIv

I love Indonesia so much that I could talk about the islands forever. Somehow, we limited our conversation to 40 minutes in "Beyond Bali"--watch or listen in the Travel, Food and Wine ezine.

Hey TCKs and others who have moved around! Here's an opportunity for writers.
I have no affiliation with the organization but thought other writers would want to know about it.

Too much fun outrigger canoeing with Kapua Wa'a Experiences, departing right from Kaimana Beach. Owned by Kekoa Kekumano (star of Rescue Hi Surf), his second in command turned out to be another celebrity from Cirque du Soleil.

This time last year we were in Morocco, enjoying the wonderful flavors of North Africa. We learned so much on our food tour in Tangier and cooking class in Marrakech. Read all about it in Food, Wine & Travel Magazine.

I loved doing the "For Love of Memoir" podcast with Erin Swanson--she was so easy to talk to and she understood the TCK perspective so well. Here's the trailer.

This was a special book presentation for Between Worlds at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, where I have been a volunteer since 2012. Under the trees with friends & supporters was magical.
💙 to Lisa Pidge for the reel.

Nice to visit a bookstore and see Between Worlds on the shelf at Books by the Bay in Sausalito.

There's so much more to Indonesia than Bali, though many people limit themselves to one tiny island in this enormous archipelago. This is an overview article and in the coming months, I'll profile each island.

My favorite TCK book, "Don't Lets go to the Dogs Tonight" has been made into a movie! The film is beautifully done. The little girl is an amazing actor and all the casting was perfect. Book & film are highly recommended.

The best part of the Book Passage event was seeing so many people from different parts of my life all coming together. It was a great discussion and there were so many perceptive questions about Between Worlds: An Expat's Quest for Belonging.
