The Seed of Joy: A Novel of Korea is now available on Amazon. Kirkus Reviews calls it "An immersive dramatization of a pivotal moment in South Korea's history."

I’m happy to announce the release of my novel, "The Seed of Joy: A Novel of Korea." It’s the story of Americans caught in the political turmoil surrounding the Gwangju Democratization Movement in South Korea in 1980. Many parallels to current conditions in the United States. Available from Amazon.
Cover of "The Seed of Joy: A Novel of Korea."

It's pretty clear how Hegseth sees himself.

Ok patriots, a lot of you will balk at this, but please try to read w/ an open mind. Garland has gotten a bum rap. Longer version in my Substack tomorrow. No, Merrick Garland Did Not Let Donald Trump Skate newrepublic.com/article/1902... via @newrepublic.com

No, Merrick Garland Did Not Let Donald Trump Skate
Within days of become AG, he assembled his deputies and told them to turn over every Trump rock. Blame a lumbering system—and an electorate that didn’t care.

America Did Not Deserve Jimmy Carter
Death always presents an opportunity, however short, for reflection, and looking back at the life of Jimmy Carter one thing is abundantly…

Following Lara Trump's example, I've decided to withdraw my name from consideration for Senator from Florida. (Never mind that I don't live in Florida.)

I'm finally getting around to learning to use Pixinsight for my astrophotography processing. Here are my first two efforts: M31 and the Dumbbell Nebula. Both were captured with my Dwarf 3 smart telescope - quite an impressive little device for the price. #astronomy #astrophotography

Last year, Trump’s FBI Director was selling magic pills which would supposedly cleanse your body of the Covid vaccine to “reverse the vaxx” if you ever had one. A complete scam.

There it is again: It's not REALLY Trump's fault because something something "Joe Biden." The legacy press will ALWAYS excuse the actions of Republicans. They have no agency. Everything they do is the fault of Democrats. Fuck them all.

Compared to the list of Traitor Tot's pardons, hunter Biden is an absolute angel. See for yourself: rb.gy/lfkzsb

This is the election result that Piers said was the Democrats getting "pounded into total, shameful, humiliating oblivion."

Here's an image I captured recently of M31, the Andromeda Galaxy. I used my handy lil Dwarf 3 smart telescope. Processing the image is an ongoing learning experience for me. 77 subs, 60 sec, 60 gain, Astro filter, processed with Siril and Affinity Photo 2. #astrophotography #astronomy

Hi, everybody! I just joined. Here's a picture I took of the Dumbbell Nebula with my Dwarf 3 smart telescope. Looking forward to interacting with folks who have an interest in astronomy, liberal politics, and all things Korea.
