Thank You

 

Thank You


Many thanks to those of you who pre-ordered my book, Giving Up Is Unforgivable, yesterday. Although many of you made a point of purchasing from indie booksellers (who among us doesn’t love a good local bookstore?), by mid-morning yesterday, the book still managed to hit number seven on the Amazon best sellers list, which honestly felt a little bit surreal.

Fortunately, my family is always here to bring me back to earth, and they pointed out that a book called How to Catch a Leprechaun was ahead of me. (I checked it out later during the day and it looks like a great book. Strongly recommend for the little ones in your life ahead of Monday’s St. Patrick’s Day festivities!)

In any event, I’m touched by your support, your confidence in me, and your love. I’ve never written a book before, but I believe in this book, and I believe in us. I believe that we can reclaim and rebuild democracy. I don’t plan to stop talking about it, and specifically about what we can do right now, here in the newsletter. It’s not going to be easy, but we’ve already seen Trump back down—on spending freezes, on birthright citizenship—in the face of our sustained opposition. Now it’s up to us to lead our elected leaders in the direction that we want to go. This is the time to dig in and keep working.

I’ll try to keep the shameless requests to a minimum, but as my friends who’ve written books have explained to me, preorders really do help get a book in circulation, and I hope this one will circulate. I remember Tim Snyder saying he’d put “all the good stuff he had” in On Tyranny. I feel the same way about my book; it’s all of the good stuff I know about what we need to do to keep the Republic.

Pre-Order Giving Up Is Unforgivable

We’re in this together,

Joyce
