The Barbour Editors announced on their blog yesterday that they’re discontinuing Heartsong Mysteries. I’ve been a Mystery Book Club member since the beginning, and I’ve given away a fair number of those books on my blog. The economy is really affecting the world of publishing.
I was saddened to hear this news also. However, people are having to cut everywhere and books are the first luxury to go. I can relate. My hubby was making more money 10 years ago than he is today, but taxes and cost of living is crunching our style. He’s even applying for a part-time job on top of his full-time job.
I was sorry to hear about this, too. Bummer. The economy is affecting everything, including the publishing market.
It’s the state of the economy, definitely. Everything is being affected, not just publishing. I hope the authors find other avenues for publishing their novels.
