L.L. Kirchner is an award-winning screenwriter and Pushcart-nominated author whose life and work as an expat in Asia became the basis of two memoirs that combine humor with “her discerning eye” (Foreword Reviews)—or, as an NPR interviewer said, her memoir is “like Eat, Pray, Love, but funny.” She lives in Florida with her favorite husband.

It seemed like a good idea at the time! :)

When a client of my comms business opened up shop there, all signs seemed to be pointing to yes. Create a job there! But the book makes clear is that I was missing a lot of other signs along the way.

All that aside, seeing it everywhere during the FIFA World Cup reminded me of a lot of good times I had there, with some truly great friends.(less)

“Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.”
Rumi, Masnavi i Man'avi, the spiritual couplets of Maula

“I cannot understand anti-abortion arguments that centre on the sanctity of life. As a species we've fairly comprehensively demonstrated that we don't believe in the sanctity of life. The shrugging acceptance of war, famine, epidemic, pain and life-long poverty shows us that, whatever we tell ourselves, we've made only the most feeble of efforts to really treat human life as sacred.”
Caitlin Moran, How to Be a Woman

“Bitter does not age well.”
Lisa L. Kirchner, Hello American Lady Creature: What I Learned as a Woman in Qatar

“Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways.”
Stephen Vincent Benét

“Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment I know this is the only moment.”
Thich Nhat Hanh, Being Peace

message 1: by L.L.

L.L. Kirchner Hi all! This is a trailer for my book about going through a divorce in the wild and wonderful world that was Qatar in the early aughts.

There’s been so much interest in the country with all the FIFA business, I reverted the rights and self-pubbed it. JUST today on the very last day I thought, I should recut my trailer with the #WorldCup music.

(can’t post the url here :( ; it’s on my TikTok @llkirchner_)
