nmm-book-order About 18 months ago, Tracy blogged about Northfielder Barbara Burke’s book deal

After a few twists and turns, it happened yesterday. Barbara wrote at the end of a blog post:

Barbara BurkeToday, February 1, 2010, is the day the beautiful hardcover edition published by Hay House is released in the US. The book is sold in India and will be available in the UK in March, as will the German translation.

Barbara’s book is The Napkin, The Melon & The Monkey: How to Be Happy and Successful by Simply Changing Your Mind. Hay House’s (publisher) Heal Your Life website has a blog post on the book here.

The Hay House page for the book says this about her:

    You go, girl! It’s great the way you’ve made this deal work for you in a way that’s true to your philosophy and character, instead of just signing the offer presented to you by the [unnamed] big publishing house that wanted to exploit your experiences and intellectual property and try to get you to sell your soul for practically nothing. 🙂
