Author of RAIDER MAYER WON'T GET PUSHED AROUND
MG (for kids ages 8-12)
Raider is a fan of sumo. (Pushed around? Get it? Get it?!!?!)

NO AI
Last night I was woken by a quake.
This one below⤵️

I am revising on my MG book about the 3/11/11 disaster. I will self-publish it. It will be amazing bc I am a good enough writer & because we in Tohoku (me--Fukushima) are worthy.

We are amazing.

Still hit by quakes.
We STILL get aftershocks.

RAIDER MAYER WON'T GET PUSHED AROUND will be free on kindle Friday, November 28.

I think of this as HI/LO. Meaning high interest, low difficulty level.
Fun book for anybody (above age seven?) but especially for kids who don't like to read, or have trouble reading.

4. Amber owns and runs a bookstore. Books!!! Yes, she has a bookstore.📚

When a man comes looking for a book, she feels an instant connection. He comes back again. And yes, Amber thinks he is so hot.

Loved reading this, lots of twists in the plot, great characters, and hot guys that are nice, too.

3. Brandy owns a luxury hotel. At the beginning of the book, she gets a creepy note. And then another creepy note. What the creep?!

Her female relatives are worried, so they hire a private detective. He poses as Brandy's ex-boyfriend so he can get close enough to sleuth. And he's hot!

2. Carla has inherited a computer company, and she's devoted to both the company and the staff.

She's a single mom, and she is also devoted to her child. The child's dad? Who is he?
Carla's not saying. It could be that he is also a business mogul, far wealthier than Carla. And hot.

1. "Savvy Sistahs" is by Brenda Jackson @authorbrendajacks.bsky.social .

I'd read her books before on my kindle, great writer!

In this book, there are three women who get together because all of them are businesswomen. They talk about their lives, and so on. They are all high-power women!

Green phones are public phones.
FYI: In major disaster, they are free to use. If in Japan, during major disaster, you can call your family overseas. There are more of these phones than you would expect, even in 2025.

Unrelated:
On Xixxex-- several A.I. videos. So it begins. Fake shit. I give up.

Fukushima frog

This is in front of Ogawago Station, in Southeast Fukushima Prefecture.

Frogs are symbolic in Japan, as well as incredibly cute.

4. ....I made it two stops on the Banetsu line.

Here's the problem: Trains hardly run on this part of the Banetsu line. Hours go between trains. To get from Fukushima City to the train station, take photos, and get back in a day is very hard (bc so few trains.)

What's more---------

3. I live in place where lines converge at top.
I went to each station on blue line on coast. (Joban Line) It took years! lol! It was great.

I wanted to head up north on purple line. (Banetsu Line)
I made it two stops.....................

1. Here I am at Ogawago Station in Fukushima Prefecture Prefecture.

Over the years, I went to ALL the stations on coast of Fukushima, in order, north to south. It was interesting, going through the area hit hardest.

After that I came north.
But after 2 stations on this line, this is my last.

Fukushima heron...

I think the heron noticed me and flew away. I waited a while, wanting to see them again. But nope. And then walked on.

Also---you can see how far I am standing away. I had my zoom on, taking photos.
November 26, 2025 at 1:25 AM
And @every heron this is the photo after that. I wasn't planning to post it bc it is out of focus.

One bird left. So maybe it was a battle???

@everyheron.bsky.social

This is the next photo.

I thought it was mates....?

But I read what you wrote----perhaps they are battling it out?
November 25, 2025 at 8:11 PM
Fukushima herons

The other heron (the mate, probably the female?) was there all along! Tucked down. These herons were relatively uncaring that I was nearby.

Maybe they wanted to be on the internet? lol
