it's funny, these people do militaristic-like rituals where people come together to form spectacular propaganda signs, they believe that racial segregation is natural and that #mixedRace children can't go to heaven, that you should resign from your individuality and emotions for a greater goal, that giving greater (angel/alien) human(-looking) gods all power to destroy communism is their path towards salvation, all with the swastika and a wheel as representative symbols

but don't worry they are the goodies

Happy dance over here!!! Otter Coast: A Medical Marijuana Mystery... Join in on the book party... because my second eco-fiction novel is ready for you! Read a review, buy & read, add a starred review!

As architectural intern Amalia Sengupta Erenwine grapples with her nascent career in New York City and the consequences of her new relationship, her friend the Reverend Mildred McCaine plans a panel about medical marijuana at her Binghamton church. When these two women take off on a road trip back to Mildred's hometown, they each in their own way intend to prove themselves pure of intent and unencumbered by their pasts. Amalia hopes to demonstrate she's true to her word and figure out her love life, and Mildred is drawn to confront fuzzy details about her family's past. But when the women uncover mysterious goings-on at Mildred's childhood home, an intriguing ancient artifact, and long-forgotten memories of otters at play, their fine intentions come unraveled. How will Amalia reconcile her deeper knowing with her life's goals? And how will Mildred remember and come to terms with her family's history, and her own present and new unfolding?

Like, I want the equivalent of discord channels I guess. I want to be able to follow local Boston area posts, and send a post relevant to locals without bothering others. Or have convos with people in a #mixedrace channel without shouting it all out in public. (btw, hi 👋 #mixedrace)

My #FirstPublication in an academic journal was actually artwork - two portraits of my grandmothers, with reflection on being #MixedRace / #Multiracial, #antiAsianRacism, and the pandemic.

Unconventional but I'm so glad the guest editors at Journal of Asian American Studies #JAAS gave me a chance.

I think you can see the #illustrations at the link, but here are the originals, and a different color variation I liked but didn't submit. Eye contact in images.

Enough of an #introvert/#ambivert to want to say hi but not necessarily all the time?

People often ask me what I listen to when I’m in creating mode, whether in painting or writing. This year was mostly writing. I finished the 10 year trajecctory of working on my novel Otter Coast, a medical marijuana mystery (to be published in a few weeks - novel #2 in the ecofiction series) listening primarily to Ludovico Einaudi. And according to Spotify, I am in the top listeners to Einaudi in the US (probably in the world, I would guess). Here’s to creative influence! Thank you Mr. Einaudi!

Three Good Things: The Ecofiction Writer Edition
Epic book day: got novel #1 (The Erenwine Agenda, fracking focus) layout output done for new edition to be published with my new name change (going back to my given name, Maia Chowdhury).
Did the “accept all changes” on novel #2 (Otter Coast, medical marijuana focus) and stripped the Word document of macros, ready for book layout. Pub date for Otter Coast: Dec 21!
And just picked up the printed first draft of novel #3 (Rail, high speed logistics focus)- super rough, finishing the first pass during Nanowrimo.
As I went to Staples to pick up the print I thought “I am a writer!” It only took me 3 novels to say so to myself (it’s in my bio and LinkedIn but to say it and mean it to myself is another thing).
Does that qualify as 3 Good Things? I think it does.
