[close] I am excited to share the story behind the story, and my journey as an author-publisher. Red Earth Diaries is an unusual travelogue in many ways, and I am happy to answer any questions you may have about the book itself or about my journey (and struggles) as an author. The book is due to be released on 06 May 2021. A brief synopsis is provided below: A one-way ticket to Australia...two months of travel...and a shoestring budget. In ‘Red Earth Diaries’ we meet Jason and Ambika, an average couple who met, fell in love, and got married. That’s when their average love story took a dramatic twist. At the peak of their careers, they gave up everything they had and said goodbye to their comfortable lives in India, and migrated to Australia. Once they arrived in the country, unlike most migrants, they made a bold decision to postpone their settlement plans, throw caution to the wind, and backpack in Australia on a shoestring budget. Swimming with sharks, cuddling cute koalas, delving into mysterious caves, chartering private helicopters, venturing deep into ancient rainforests, and getting to know plenty of locals – the couple had incredible experiences in this stunning country. Join Jason and Ambika on their spectacular journey of discovery…

[close] What is the reality of life along the Mexico/US border? How does our regional and national history impact the current rhetoric and how does the current propaganda impact our daily lives? This group is designed to promote discussion around the books that provide insight into these questions and that reveal the lives of those of us who love the natural flora and fauna, the diversity, and the beauty of the Borderlands and who welcome those who risk their lives on the hope of what we all take for granted.
