S.K. Interesting question. I'm unsure of the answer but it will reveal itself in the weeks ahead.

There seems to be a lot of shuffling around going on in the publishing industry. Heard about Warner last week. Is this a new trend or something?
Wow. This was very interesting. I had no idea. I know that Harper Collins is parent to Zondervan, and I saw their booth at CBA Advance, along with Simon & Schuster. I've spoken to Ron Smith by phone before -- he helped me set up an interview with one of his clients, so that's interesting that he seemed to be a key person in this acquisition. I read recently that Christian books are the fastest-growing segment of the book market -- so the customer is fueling this trend. I think a big parent like Simon & Schuster will probably help lower prices and get Christian books in even more stores -- especially the big discount chains. Thanks for sharing this news. As always, your blog gives me something new to ponder.
I wonder how this will change things for you.
