I have this feeling that you are going to give Gabe his two days back. You are over it.. and going to find the blessing in the midst of this and likely encourage every one of us through it.

Well Marla I’m really sorry to hear that your book is going out of print as 2 of your books have particularly impacted my life in recent years. I bought ‘Blushing’ in desperation just after I got married when I was really struggling to get used to my new life with my husband. I also specifically asked my local Christian bookshop here in Wellington, New Zealand to get ‘Expecting’ in for me when I first found out that I was pregnant. Again it made a huge difference to the way I saw my pregnancy in terms of dedicating each development milestone week by week to the Lord. So you’ve made a huge difference in my life during these huge transitional times and I’m all the way down here in New Zealand! Thank you!

Hello, Marla;

I host a community blog for nonfiction writers. I’ve been looking for a guest blogger to write about how a book goes out of print and the feelings that experience brings. Check out the blog and see if that might be something you’d be willing to do: http://aspiringwritersofnonfiction.blogspot.com/.

Be blessed,

Lynnda

I was debating ordering a copy of “Is that All He Thinks About?”, and now I definitely will. Not ready for the baby books yet though.

I’m so sorry. That must sting and hurt. You totally get 2 days to be sad. BUT when you come back in 2 days are ready for the good news….God has something bigger. That speaking thing that’s taking off….I just bet it’s from Him And who knows what He has for each of tomorrow!

Marla I’m so sorry about the news you received. But one thing I know for sure; once a writer always a writer! Your writing will never stop because that love and need deep within to get your thoughts out in the form of written word never goes away. Thank you for following God with the gift he has given you and know that He is pleased. He is more than pleased. He is proud! And you will continue to make Him proud in the speaking. Just keep youself connected to Him sister.

I have been thinking all day about what to say. And I can’t put it into words. Amanda did a great job.

But all I can tell you is that your book MINISTERED to me. It kept me SANE. It made me feel some what NORMAL. It helped me to get through the ROUGH days.

And EVERY MOMMY, every single mom that will come across that book as it circulates between friends, second hand book stores, and other moms will laugh and thank Marla Taviano for every second of God devoted work.

Hi Marla… I have no idea how difficult that news must be to you. I can only imagine that writing a book and having it published in the first place is like having a baby. And now you’re right to go sit under the broom tree and do a little healthy whining… and I love the fact that you are so vulnerable here… because we are going to have a front seat watching God provide for you… and you using your giftings to tell us all about it.

much love, one of your new 508 BFFs,
sister sheri (aka siesta sheri)

I love you and am sending some BIG hugs from Australia! You cry all you want over the next 2 days but know this: the brilliant book you wrote is not “another failed title” – you have no idea how many women that book has touched and helped through them reading it, you will probably never really know!!!

You rock, you are a funny and fantastic honest writer.. Will pray for you!!!!

LOVE YOU xoxo
