I love stories about women's journeys and transformations. I'm drawn to unconventional lives. And I'm fascinated by "love, sex, spirit & travel"--the subtitle of my first memoir, which won the Bisexual Book Award. My two memoirs (Call It Wonder & Wanderland) tell about how my husband and I left jobs and home to explore the world. We're nomads, housesitters, pet-carers, expats. We've also had to grapple with dramatic health crises and natural disasters that threatened to put an end to our wayfaring. My three novels feature women's life stories: For the May Queen (a young woman's first year in college), Complementary Colors (a woman in her thirties falls in love with another woman for the first time), and Revolutionary Kiss (a young woman's life during the French Revolution, which I co-wrote with Mary Janelle Melvin). I've also authored two collections of poems and a book about queer teachers. My essays, stories and poems have been widely published. I hold a PhD from the University of Washington and an MFA from San Jose State University. For many years, I taught university-level writing. Before that, I barely survived teaching in an American high school. I've taught internationally as well: at a language school in Japan and at a university in China. I led a writing retreat in Thailand and am developing one in Mexico. As a girl, I dreamed of becoming a traveling writer. Finally, that dream has come true. I'm grateful to be learning that, as Michel Foucault said, "we are freer than we think." Half the year I live in Mexico. The other half I travel wherever the winds blow. I also work as a writing coach and book editor. Visit my website at: www.kateevanswriter.com
