Friends,
Happy 2009!
As promised, Mary and I are writing to keep you up-to-date on the progress of the book. This morning, we received some disappointing news that MP Publishing has withdrawn their offer to purchase it. Our agent says this is highly unusual and she is working to find out why.
As you may already know, life has thrown many lemons at Mary, but she always perseveres and she intends to make lemonade of this situation as well. (There’s a hint at what’s in the book!) She intends to finish writing her inspiring story, and we appreciate all your patience, prayers, and encouragement for us and our agent, Krista Goering, who has worked tirelessly in a challenging economy to sell the project. She has become not only our partner to get the book out there, but a friend who agrees with us that Mary’s story needs to be told.
The publishing world is undergoing many changes and facing many challenges along with the rest of the country, we are so glad we have your support. We’ll keep you posted on what happens and what you can do to help us make this book a reality.
Bev and Mary

So sorry to hear about the setback, Bev. We continue to support you all to get the book finished and "out there" so everyone can see just what a remarkable woman Mary is. Once the book is a bestseller, than MP Publishing will see what fools they are!  Happy New Year to you and Krista and Mary! |

Bev,
I'm so sorry to hear this news! Please tell Mary to hang in there. We know that this book must be published, and it WILL! Let me know if I can help in any way.

I wonder what happened. I thought it was a sure thing that Mary's book was going to be published. I am so disappointed. If there is anything at all I can do to help just let me know.

Hello All,
You are so sweet and supportive and we appreciate ALL your good thoughts about the book. While we too are so dissappointed, we have to trust that this is not the right publisher for the book. Though it is a setback, Bev and I are even more determined to just get it done and out there to you all. I have always said we are the tortise in this race, not the hare. Thanks for everything, you all are the BEST!!!
Mary

It sounds like M P is probably folding.The agent needs to locate another. It was probably better that it
happened now than later or it would not have been possible to get the book except through another
dealer.
