Karen Kingsbury Book Delayed

Tyndale House Publishers have announced that publication of Sunset, the last title in the Baxter Family series has been delayed until September 2008 due to the death of the author's father.

In a statement they said "The loss of her father is something that could not have been anticipated. Karen has been working diligently to finish Sunset. But we wanted to extend to her additional time to rest and reflect in this season of her life and to finish the book at a slower pace. We are confident her fans will support her and eagerly anticipate the release. Sunset is going to be a special book - one well worth the wait. The book will be available everywhere on 23rd September 2008."

Karen also said on her website, "This week my friends at Tyndale Publishers granted me a gift. They extended my deadline for Sunset - the final book in the Sunrise Series - and moved the publication date from April 22, 2008, to September 23, 2008. The reason? They wanted to show compassion and understanding toward me because of the time I've spent grieving the loss of my dad. Let me explain."

Another new title from Karen, This Side of Heaven, which releases in July 2008 is a tribute to her brother who passed away in his sleep two years ago.
