Hi Friends. I don’t know whether you will like this, but if you do not, would you mind passing it along to someone you think might?
As a political journalist, I learned today that Russia’s dictator sent in 400 mercenaries to hunt down and kill Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. That will be in this week’s upcoming episode, I promise you. One plot was quashed, but Zelendkyy is definitely still in mortal danger.
As a political journalist, I realized that the Ukrainians are showing the world what patriotism looks like. How terrible that the price is a war with a cold, cruel dictator.
A Ukrainian said one day that she was going into the coffee shop to drink her latte, but woke up to a new reality the next day.
We literally came within minutes of facing the same experience on January 6, 2021. It seems impossible, but it is not.
I figured I needed to learn Instagram and Tiktok to let people know about my book, which is what Wednesday’s newsletter is about. But it became immediately obvious I had to have a video visual. Oh, great. So the art below along with little bites of my book are what I came up with to give people a glimpse of what I feel as I write.
The Ukrainians remind us that a democracy must be maintained and never taken for granted, which is far easier than pulling it back from a dictator.
We have just 46 weeks left to shore up our democracy as the not-so-Grand Old Party gnaws on its legs, trying to cause it to fall. That is not much time, but it is definitely doable.
My book, THREE WHITE LIONS doesn’t have chapters but episodes. So I am currently on my version of chapters, “Week: 46 Day: 2 and Counting.’ It is episodic, meaning a person can buy an episode, which is kind of an interesting concept. The first three episodes are free, but I would recommend jumping to the last episode to see how I fold in current politics with my THREE WHITE LIONS. We don’t have to stand in front of tanks as Ukrainians are doing — just Republicans — this time.
Thanks for embarking on this great adventure with me. As a reminder, go to Amazon. Search for Kindle Vella. Then Gloria Christie or Three White Lions.
Be Safe. Be Well. You and Yours,
