Backlash…

So. It’s already started.

I’d like to say I’m surprised, but I’m really not. Not in the least.

Since my post yesterday, I’ve seen over 100 people unfollow me on various social platforms ( I have to believe they are all the same people because the number on each site is so consistent) and I’ve seen a third of my preorders for my newest book canceled.

Again, upsetting but not surprising.

If the people who unfollowed and canceled me did so because of my distaste for the current king-wannabe at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, that’s on them, not me. They are the ones who are losing out by not reading my books about love, forgiveness, compassion, and family; not me.

I believe love is the greatest force in the universe, not hatred. And if you were to actually look it up in a dictionary, the opposite of love isn’t really hate. It’s indifference.

So, if I lose followers, book buyers, and readers, I will survive. My life doesn’t end because of lost sales. I will be fine financially, spiritually, socially, morally, and ethically.

And I would rather have the courage of my convictions than a book sale any day of the week.

Okay. I’m going silent again.

  1. Don’t be silent. Don’t be complicit. Say what you feel.

    Those who can think for themselves, who can separate fiction from their skewed world view, will buy your books. Those who can’t don’t deserve to read about the equitable worlds you create.

  2. We all have the right to say what you feel. I shall remain as I agree. I also have the right to unsubscribe and have done so.
