I am loving what you're doing here on your blog - and sharing your disappointment at Barbour closing the publishing arm that would have carried you onto the bookshelves. I expect to see a bit more of that. My husband has been in bookselling for over thirty years. He's with Barnes and Noble now - a different animal than the independent bookstores he knew so well - quickly passing away. Corporate made a decision this year to start putting all their eggs into the Nook basket - e-books are the wave of the future and B&N wants to be leading the pack. This affects the entire industry as Amazon is also an e-reading giant - and it seems everyone is coming out with their versions. <br /><br />Hold fast to the vision God has given you for His Story and you will find the avenue to deliver it. I have my own "bend in the road" and "mountain" to face with some career changes and shift in my writing focus this year. As I read through your last two posts, it would appear we're sharing "Streams in the Desert" and moving forward - ever forward. May your rains be drenched in blessing on the ascent!<br /><br />Joy!<br />Kathryn RossAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-8402381204095670412011-08-02T07:38:15.223-04:002011-08-02T07:38:15.223-04:00What a beautiful attitude you have, Carla.

But your Scripture at the end of your post says so much. We think we know where we're going but God oftentimes has a better way and if we wait we'll see how much of a blessing is hidden there in the end. Thanks for the reminder that He works all things for our good. I know He has wonderful things in store for you!!Laura Frantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067252948999879024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-11790044998129867042011-07-31T08:10:27.786-04:002011-07-31T08:10:27.786-04:00Carla, I truly see this as a continuing trend with...Carla, I truly see this as a continuing trend with the ebooks so maybe look at it as you will be on the cutting edge with one of the new HS ebook line! Other friends with a debut book in secular fiction are coming out in ebook first and a paperback later. God works all things together for His good and I will be looking forward to your blog about how he blessed you when you get around this corner!!Carrie Fancett Pagelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096954464239963966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-82772777626010533792011-07-30T23:02:53.212-04:002011-07-30T23:02:53.212-04:00Carla, though this is a set back, I know God will ...Carla, though this is a set back, I know God will open another door. :)<br /><br />God bless and keep you,<br />SoniaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17378322375866924741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-64789080138185855002011-07-30T14:22:27.794-04:002011-07-30T14:22:27.794-04:00Oh, Carla, how difficult this must be.

He is SOVEREIGN! And He is reigning and ruling and there is a perfect time for everything in Him. So be encouraged.

I'll be praying for you, and for The Shadow Catcher's Daughter. May God continue to prepare your heart for the next bend in the road. I'm praying it's a joyful one.Lori Bentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714197239425827339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-51009507729059185372011-07-30T10:59:12.575-04:002011-07-30T10:59:12.575-04:00Carla, how disappointing--for you and for those of...Carla, how disappointing--for you and for those of us who've enjoyed the Heartsong books.

The world of traditional publishing is truly being shaken up right now. <br /><br />I've spent the past year reading "books by local authors" and this year am hoping to branch out to "books by bloggers I read" so I will look forward to "The Shadow Catcher s Daughter" when the time comes - and await "Carving a Future" in the spring.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06049681622118832305noreply@blogger.com
