Oh, wow, this is a SHOCK! 😳
Remember that #BookSky #Michener piece I submitted to that #MediumPublication with 101K followers I said would never accept it?
They accepted it!

#BooksAreOurSuperpower. We're fans now, lol. @booksrme.bsky.social featured in #ClosingThots 😎
"So, selfishly and self-interestedly, I thought to myself, ‘maybe I need to get back to books,’ in order to get more #BookSky BlueSky users onside and help cultivate some kind of appreciative readership and audience here on Medium , and then, as I’ve started to dip back in (I just finished Watership Down, which was incredible, and I may well return to it to draw some storytelling points from Richard Adams’s well-told story, too), I keep rediscovering time and again: Oh, yeah! Books are where I got all this from in the first place!"
In an explicit attempt to reach more #book #readers, #Michener #novels #Alaska, #Hawaii & #Texas name-dropped in this Medium story (as is #Genesis from #TheBible & #WatershipDown by #RichardAdams)

Oh, yeah! New friend @booksrme.bsky.social (love that handle!) was featured in the #ClosingThots section of this #Alaska #Michener piece, which I hope she enjoys 😅
This was a fun one to #write. I get way more into #Biblical stuff than usual. Check it out!

Do you remember what first led you to seriously question religious dogma and mindset?
For me, it may have been the movie Hawaii when it first came to television.

@pasquinel.bsky.social I don’t know centennial specifically, but Texas and Alaska were, like, life-changing #books for me! 🤓

Acrylic Airbrush on Strathmore illustration board - 48" x 30". A crescent Moon floats in a soft blue nebula among the stars above the all-caps title: "SPACE". A Mercury rocket rises from the pad into the title center, forming the letter "A". Orange flames create blast clouds surrounding and engulfing the base of the title letters, extending to the edges of the scene. The novel's author, "JAMES A. MICHENER", appears in red letters above the title.
The Cover Art for James A. Michener's novel: SPACE. Was really fun walking through airports as I traveled and seeing it on display in the shops.

MAGNIFICENT MICHENER - Currently reading. It starts with the Tartars in 1241 and follows the tangled web of three families and their descendants, as well as the brutality of the wealthy leaders, all who repeatedly carved up the country over eight centuries. #Reading #AmReading #Books #Michener

What a sad, sad human with a limited vocabulary and even less comprehension, compassion and empathy. I would not have survived my childhood, let alone graduate from college @56 y/o (MCL) #NancyDrew, #hardyboys #michener #robinsoncrusoe #Christie #fleming the authors of childhood.
Judith Schaechter makes amazing contemporary stained glass art that is deeply informed by medieval practices. Can't wait to see this immersive piece when it opens at the Michener in April. #art #stainedglass #Schaechter #Michener
