A good summary on #immigration. One notion that I explore in my novel "A New Faith" < https://tinjar.ghost.io > is finding some common ground. The most recently uploaded chapters 20 and 21 contain more details.

A background image of a silhouette d person on a hill looking out at the Aurora borealis. To the right is the cover of The Calling by Branwen OShea. It’s mostly blues with a teen exiting a gigantic elevator into a nighttime arctic landscape. In the distance, a star sits on the snow. To the left of the book over are three different Amazon Reviews:
“The final reveal was breathtaking! • Highly recommended for anybody, not just YA." -Amazon Review

"And, yeah, if you like well-fleshed-out • characters and villains who all come with their individual wants and needs and goals." -Amazon Review

"Once I picked up The Calling I couldn't turn the pages fast enough as the action rolled out. The evolved creatures were so awesome." -The Avid Reader (blog)

At the bottom of the overall image is a metallic gold-colored compass, except the four directions each has a strange symbol and the compass needle is DNA strands. (It’s the series symbol.)

This week I've mainly been reading no. 236.

Tim Winton's latest novel, Juice (2024) uses the Moby Dick narrative structure (sort of) to relate a tale of a soldier in the post-climate change harsh (Mad Max-like) Australia whose career for the Service has seen him fight against the capitalist oligarchy. Its an adventure well told with a subtle politics underpinning the action. Winton is a great writer & this diversion into semi-Cli-Fi is a compelling read.
