BESTSELLING AUTHOR DON WINSLOW ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

TO FOCUS FULL-TIME ON POLITICS<\/strong><\/p>\n

PROLIFIC WRITER WITH MILLIONS OF NOVELS SOLD AND 250 MILLION VIDEO VIEWS WILL DEVOTE HIS TIME TO TAKING ON TRUMP IN 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author Don Winslow announced this weekend on CBS Saturday Morning with Jeff Glor that he has decided to give up writing, after decades in the publishing world and multiple seven-figure Hollywood deals, in order to launch a digital army and direct his energy full-time to his other passion: politics. The news, which trended all day on Twitter, comes on the eve of the release of Winslow\u2019s latest novel, City On Fire, which is set to hit shelves from publisher HarperCollins on April 26th.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s time to do something else,\u201d Winslow stated. \u201cI want to continue on speaking out where I see what I think is wrong. It\u2019s a big deal. It\u2019s not a decision I made easily. Democrats have better ideas, better candidates, and a better vision for tomorrow. What they don’t have is better messaging and I’m going to try and change that. I will be paying for everything myself and not accepting any donations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Winslow, who\u2019s written twenty-two novels, including The Border, The Force, The Kings of Cool, Savages, The Winter of Frankie Machine, The Power of the Dog and The Cartel, has amassed a formidable Twitter following (nearly 850K followers) on the heels of the 2020 election, with fans that include politicians and media elite such as Mary Trump and CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper. In the past few years, he has taken a very public, no-holds-barred stance on President Donald Trump, his allies and his constituents.<\/p>\n

After five consecutive New York Times bestsellers and three New York Times Best Book of the Year honors, Winslow plans to make his crusade against the Right his full-time job going forward, with both the 2022 midterms and 2024 general election on the horizon. His efforts will include continuing production on his viral videos which have taken the country – and world at large – by storm. Having collaborated with the likes of rock legend Bruce Springsteen<\/a> and acclaimed actor Jeff Daniels<\/a>, Winslow\u2019s films recently surpassed an impressive 250 million views, oftentimes exceeding the views of official campaign videos or those of The Lincoln Project. His endeavor with Springsteen, #AmericaNeedsPennsylvania, received 10 million views. A recent video of his on the January 6th insurrection, #AnatomyOfCapitolAttack, received 14 million views.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
