I've flown a lot lately and haven't had any problems. SFO and STS use a contracted version of TSA so they are not affected. Palm Springs was fine--no delays.

I loved being a part of Lotus Botanicals & Gifts grand reopening yesterday. I had such interesting conversations with people about all kinds of topics related to my books, depending on which one caught their interest. It's wonderful that Lotus supports local authors by stocking our books.

Every podcast is a little different. For this one, we talked about the importance of research to validate memory and add context, especially when writing from a child's perspective.

"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!).

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.

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.
