Welcome to a special edition of Food for Thought. My name is Colleen Patrick G Edro and as I always say I'm the

author of six books including as you know the Joy of vegan baking the

vegan table Color me vegan and vegan's daily companion. My fifth book was The 30 Day

vegan challenge which was published by Random House in 2011. In the first three months

it was out it sold tell me all the time still now that they became

vegan and they remained so today because of that book. The hopes I had for that book were dashed when it went out of print

just a few months after it was published. And because I knew the power of the content,

as well as the packaging of that content as a 30-day vegan

challenge. I launched the online 30-day vegan challenge program. I shot numerous

videos, created some new recipes, created printable resources and new audio messages for each day,

and I'm very proud of that program

and everyone who's gone through it.

However, it's not the same as having a physical book.

And I know this because I've been told this a lot.

I know this as a reader myself, but I know this also

because people tell me this all the time and I've been asked over and over

when the new book will be available again and I just kept telling people that that chapter was closed, no pun intended. After being so disappointed by the

first edition going off sale, I just didn't think I had it in me to put it out there again.

And one of the reasons is that I just didn't want to give up the

rights my rights to that book again to that content if you don't know when a book

goes out of print the rights are reverted back to the author,

the copy rights.
