I was out with the Dwarf II last night to capture the Pinwheel Galaxy (M101) and the new supernova SN 2023ixf. Unprocessed photo attached. I sat a few steps from by back door near a big city, with a quarter Moon in the sky and took photos of another freaking galaxy.

For those keeping track, "Tainted Treasure" (Haunted Coast book 3) is nearly ready to go out to beta readers. I've been cranking hard on this revision. I'm counting on my beta readers to point out the many plot holes and logic errors. :)

I'm proudly supporting President Biden for reelection.
He is the clear leader for this moment, and his record over the first two years of his presidency is extraordinary.
I'll be doing everything I can to keep him and Vice President Harris in the White House to finish the job.

In this empowering deconstruction of the so-called American Dream, a twelve-year-old Japanese American girl grapples with, and ultimately rises above, the racism and trials of middle school she experiences while chasing her dreams. As the daughter of immigrants who came to America for a better life
