Terima Kasih, Thank You is a poignant, heart-wrenching anthology of letters of Gratitude written by Malaysian teens, secondary school students in a mid-rural school in Malaysian Borneo. This anthology is similar to "Chicken Soup for the Soul" but focuses on helping each teen writer (and reader) find catharsis in appreciation through personal stories along themes of love, loss, family, friendship, courage & self-respect, and admiration. Subjects in this book range from family separation, bullying, heartbreak, cultural celebration, social anxiety, passionate love, friendship drama, and more. And at the end, there is a special collection of short dramatic, bitter, earnest, sarcastic, and passionate love notes written by the same students. Throughout the year leading up to this anthology, the students of SMK Takis Papar have gone on a journey to understand the importance of gratitude for others and for themselves. Terima Kasih, Thank You, an anthology of Gratitude, is one of the few if not the only anthology that emphasizes the powerful effect Gratitude has on our emotional resolution, through personal narrative letter mediums that takes readers on a journey of appreciation and happiness. These personal narratives are dedicated to every category of relationship from family to lovers to pets to inanimate objects and everything in between. These stories stress the importance of Gratitude to help cope, find resolution, and ultimately generate real happiness. This emphasis on Gratitude will hopefully resonate globally as a message to others pre-teens, teens, and adults looking to find catharsis and emotional reconciliation. It takes great courage and hati for these teens to put their stories on paper, especially given their low proficiency in English and a lack of exposure to creative non-fiction writing, so I urge you to support these brave personal narratives. As bonus content, see love through Malaysian teenager eyes! One of the creative writing exercises SMK Takis students underwent in the process of generating the Terima Kasih, Thank You manuscript was to write original short love notes, pick up lines, and musings on relationships as shorter notes of Gratitude. Over a 1000 notes were generated by ~200 students, a selection of which appears at the end of the book. This anthology has been sponsored and funded by the U.S. Embassy of Kuala Lumpur and the Fulbright Commission of Malaysia, in partnership with the Malaysian American Commission on Educational Exchange.

From the author of the popular cult classics Frank Sinatra in a Blender and A Swollen Red Sun comes a riveting novel of redemption and suspense that asks the question: just how far are you willing to go for love? Would you give up everything you’ve ever known? Risk your freedom? Risk your life? When newly divorced Sage arrives in Bali, his only plan is to drink on the beach until his money runs out and then return home to start over. So he’s caught by surprise when he falls in love with the country and its people, particularly the attractive and considerate Ratri. Soon Sage can no longer see himself living anywhere else, even as his funds dwindle and his visa’s expiration date nears. Increasingly desperate to stay with Ratri, Sage finds himself being recruited by a drug-smuggling ring—in a country where drug trafficking is punishable by death. The promised pay-out would be enough to set Sage and Ratri up for life, but only if Sage isn’t caught. Will Sage go home and risk the life he envisions with Ratri, or risk everything to stay and make that life possible? Both lyrical and suspenseful, intimate and ambitious, END OF THE OCEAN is an unforgettable look at a brutal business in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
