EXPAT! by Anne Alden

The story takes place in the early 1990's, long before anyone had heard of the term "globalization". It is set in Asia and is seen through the eyes of an expatriate named Lacey. She is a young professional who decides to become a stay-at-home mom. Her husband is offered a job in Taiwan and they decide to accept. Lacey is going to live like a queen. She will have a driver, cook, maid and paid vacations. She will have more money than she ever dreamed of. However, almost immediately, she is faced with people who aren't who they claim to be…. and aren't who she wants them to be.

This world is full of excitement, new experiences, feng shui, underground cities, lies, misconceptions and heartbreak. As Lacey struggles with her marriage, struggles with her new role and struggles with betrayal, she also struggles with her identity.

Unfortunately, loneliness and frustration travel the ocean. Far away from home, people's frailties surface... the highs one experiences are higher, the lows are much lower. Lacey meets a captivating man named Steve. She flirts with betrayal and ultimately becomes a victim to his charm.

Vodka Shot, Pickle Chaser, by David A. Kalis

A true story of risk, corruption and self-discovery amid the collapse of the Soviet Union

For David, graduating from college was a matter of course, but figuring out what to do next with his life turns into a paralyzing decision.

On a whim, he decides to travel to the Soviet Union. His loose plans call for a thirty-day tour of Leningrad, but after finding himself caught up in the middle of a coup d’état that destabilizes the country, he ends up staying abroad for two and a half tumultuous years.

From surviving perilous run-ins with the Russian mafia and the Soviet military, to searching for his lost heritage in a remote village, David’s story is a riveting coming-of-age memoir. He finds that the road less traveled can lead to unexpected adventure, and that looking backward sometimes provides the best insight into how to move forward.

About the Author

David A Kalis grew up in the Boston suburbs. He earned his B.A. in Soviet East European Studies from Tufts University and an M.B.A. from The University of Chicago, Graduate School of Business. Following his graduation from Tufts University, he spent two and a half years abroad in Russia which formed the basis for his memoir and ensuing career choices. In 2006, after many years of talking about the idea of writing his story, he finally began the work. Vodka Shot, Pickle Chaser is the culmination of combing through his experiences, organizing his thoughts, and presenting his journey and the life lessons he learned along the way. He currently lives in Newton, MA.
