"The Tenacular Legacy: If You Don't Plan to Die, Don't Read This Book," is the tentative title of Joule's book pertaining to communicating one's desires before and after the occurence of a disability or life-threatening problem. The first theme pertains to situations in which communication is impaired by speach or other means. The second involves complications due to family or relationship dymamics. Its major inspirations are Joule's Great Uncle Abe, who lived to age one hundred and one, and Joule's partner of twenty-three years, Don, who died in 2003.
