Present Burma coup is making my novel Wolf topical again
Burma coup is making my novel topical again amazon.com/Wolf-Novel-Bet
I received over 20 positive pre-publication reviews They are in the front of the online Amazon sample. Kirkus Review: kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/k
Wolf follows Mothi Awgoke, fr his childhood in
the tank corps compound in Meikhtila, political events 1962-1988 &
his exile in Queens, NY. It's partially based on my own life, but
Awgoke (August Hailstorm) is a fictional character
I hv already started research on a sequel w another generation of
dissidents
pertaining to the present Feb 2021 coup, which is reaching its violent climax right now as we speak.
I wish there weren't enough material to write a second Burma novel, but sadly, there is.

first place bc she was a nurse and her lungs were damaged by Covid.
Pl

meeting people. People who wear glasses are 3 % less likely to get
Covid. Dr Fauci says wear them till 2022.

College costs in USA--book recommended by New York Times --cut and pasted.
THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR COLLEGE: An Entirely New Road Map for the Biggest Financial Decision Your Family Will Ever Make, by Ron Lieber. (Harper/HarperCollins, $27.99.) A comprehensive guide to the trying process of paying for higher education, Lieber’s book explains in detail how to save money, apply for aid and bargain with colleges, all while carefully acknowledging the sometimes conflicting perspectives of the parties involved. “Understood as a self-help book, ‘The Price You Pay for College’ represents an extraordinary achievement,” Daniel Markovits writes in his review. “It is comprehensive and detailed without being tedious, practical without being banal, impeccably well judged and unusually rigorous. But the main title hints at a sensibility deeper than friendly advice.”

Covid transmission from a wedding--
An outbreak in Ireland 
—what’s the source? 61 #COVID19 cases from a student social gathering, 16 from a hotel wedding.
Why haven’t we learned college parties & indoor weddings are a bad idea yet?
Some say I’m overdramatic in tweets, but this is why I shout from the rooftops.

BBC on Burma coup
It's like a replay of 1962 coup, but I never trust these blokes.
In 1962, then PM and his cabinet and some of our family friends were in prison for 7 years without any charges filed.
A
Shan prince was arrested and died under torture. The major Shan
States' ruler's son was shot because he grabbed a ceremonial spear off
the wall when the soldiers came, also at dawn.
And then all our country's tragedies began.
Current PM in Exile Dr Sein Win has written to Biden Admin, and Speaker Pelosi and Minority Leader.
Will have to go back to sanctions.

Breaking news --coup in Burma--Daw Aung San Suu Kyi detained.
This is all I know, --from NYT.
Terrible feeling of deja vu. This is the only way it could end--9 years, 2012-2021 of fake or facade democracy.
Of course feel free to share.
I wonder if those who jumped the fence feel it was worth it.
I'm glad I focused on fiction and visual arts and my health since 2012.
Now the dead in the water "Burmese democracy movement overseas" will find it hard to activate on Daw Suu's behalf.
Death, old age and attrition have decimated its ranks, and will be much harder now to pull ourselves up by our white hair.
And some may not want to or be able to.

Congressman tested positive for Covid, even though he completed vaccination both shots
I hope it's a false +ive.
It just shows, being vaccinated does not mean everyone is wholey protected--he must be in the 10% or so--
when they say "over 90% efficacy."
I would just put masks in my "fashion" wardrobe from now on, and also social distance, wh I do anyway.
Americans are very spoiled--here's the Virus telling us to "suck it up."

This is the least that can be done for him--he died of injuries from being hit on the head with a fire extinguisher.
The rioters and Instigator in Chief musts be held accountable.
