"The eruption breached the ocean surface in at least two locations, with explosions occurring only off the southernmost tip of Iwo Jima. Rocks also piled up north of the explosion site, however, forming a round and rugged island about 330 feet across."

A volcanic eruption off the Japanese island of Iwo Jima on Oct. 30 led to the formation of a new 330-foot-wide island just north of the explosion site.

A lovely picture of DA Fani Willis, taken by Audra Melton for the New York Times, to which I added the mugshots of Trump’s 18 co-defendants in the Fulton County RICO case in Georgia.
The photo’s of Scott Hall, Sydney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro and Jenna Ellis have a red label with the word “flip” on it.

Next year I'm going to be very busy and very excited with two new novels to share. MOKO MAGIC: CARNIVAL CHAOS is out in the summer and BOY 2.0 releases in fall!
You should see the cover art!
Rights deal for BOY 2.0 below.

Sarah Alpert at Algonquin Young Readers has bought the middle grade superhero adventure BOY 2.0 by Tracey Baptiste. When foster kid Coal Keegan is held at gunpoint and discovers he has the power to make himself invisible, he must uncover the answers about his past he's been longing for and face off against the dangerous scientists who might have made him--and definitely want to use him for their own gain. Publication is planned for fall 2024; Marietta B. Zacker at Gallt & Zacker Literary Agency brokered the deal for North American rights.

What a beautiful idea! We have a local group called Busy Hands. They crochet and knit hats for NICU babies and lap throws for elderly people. Hand crafted works are an incredible gift and the legacy of the crafter. This project honors their work.

Alberto Pastor @albertopastor

"This is Rohwetter's first assignment through Loose Ends, a program that matches volunteer knitters, quilters and other crafters with projects left unfinished when a person dies or becomes disabled. It's the brainchild Masey Kaplan and Jen Simonic."

Loose Ends volunteers complete crafts left unfinished by Alzheimer's or death : Shots - Health News : NPR

It can be heartbreaking to let go of a hand-made rug or sweater that a loved one didn't quite finish. A group of volunteer knitters, quilters and other crafters offer some closure.
