Thank you for maintaining your morals. I'm sure The Lord will bless you for it. And never change your writing to accommodate others. God gave you a clear and unique voice to use for Him.

Your post really speaks to the angst of self publishing today. There is enough anxiety and stress with publishing without having to deal with corporate takeovers and having the whole process redone with new protocols. But it is the lay of the land today, and we have to deal with it. What company bought out the publisher? You can try Westbow, the self publishing division of Nelson Zondervan in Harper Collins, where I am at. But I must say it is pretty expensive. estory

    Kevin told me, but I was in shock and don't remember the name. I'll check it out again, when he calls today. Thank you for the support.

"I see a hostile takeover with armed gunman rushing their building; they each held a bullet proof shield" haha. You have a vivid imagination.

I'm sure it will be alright and I trust there's a demand for your old fashion clean romance. I agree with you, you shouldn't lower your standards.

Thank you for keeping us informed.

Typo: "...You need to hear what's happen(ed) on this end from me."

"I would rather go unpublished than write that type of romance. I will not lower my standard to be published. My fan base isn't huge, but it's strong. There is a market for Christian romance. I guess my reason for writing this to ask for prayers that things work out with my publisher and that nothing changes for me."

Same here, my friend, and you can count on me -- I will be praying!

I hope all goes well with your publisher Barbara and I am wondering why he should phone you and ring those alarm bells if nothing will change for you? It sounds a bit cruel to me, anyway I hope all goes well with the publishing of your new story and you need to stick to your guns about what you write as everyone should enjoy their work, thank you for sharing your story with us, love Dolly x

    I won't change my writing. I have a feeling a few things are going to change and he's leading me slowly into them. We'll see. Thank you for the support.

It is so hard for writers when things like this happen to their publishers, I really hope things don't change for you, Barbara, your stories deserve to be read by many people.

Barbara,
I'm sorry for all this misfortune that seems to have hit you at once.
I would do as you say and not sacrifice my morals for anyone, by writing what you don't believe in.
Maybe you can write under drama, not just Christian romance novels. Other dramas concerning Christian values can be written.
I hope things work out for you.
Best wishes, Cindy

    Thank you for your support. I have my next novel already written. I've been making notes on another one. It's a little different, but still a romance. More action. Not sure I can pull it off.

Congratulations on still having your contact who is obviously doing his best to reassure you. I also pray that nothing gets in the way of your being able to continue your great storytelling.
I tell you, in the world today, it is almost never one thing, today it is several, followed by many, many more problems coming at you like a snowball rolling downhill.
