> [@SunUp](#): > > Well, I could have sworn the Amazon page said your book went up on Boxing Day You know, I went to check and it was! My publisher said 12/31, but I guess Amazon had other ideas. Gonna keep 12/31 as the pub date because, with the engagement, it’s _just a better story_. ---

Congrats. I just wanted to say that I could imagine marrying a Republican; I could net ever ever imagine marrying a Trumper. I had a fairly good friend. Well, we corresponded from time to time. When he told me had twice voted for Trump, I ghosted him. (I was afraid to ask if he did it this time.) ---

My landlord and landlady have voted for Trump three times, and we’re still good friends; I just try not to discuss politics with them anymore. It’s not good for my mental health. Clearly.
