New Kate Gosselin Book Still Heading for Publication; Will People Still Buy It?

The new Kate Gosselin book is still going to be published according to representatives for the publisher. Despite all of the problems going on in the world of Jon and Kate Plus 8, it seems that Kate Gosselin is still intent on making money from her writings about love and family. The new Kate Gosselin book is going to be called Love Is in the Mix, and will still be published, despite all of the controversy surround the Jon and Kate Gosselin divorce proceedings. This is a bit of a surprise, as it seems that this would be the time to scrap projects surrounding the Gosselin family.

Love Is in the Mix will be published by a Christian publishing company called Zondervan, who had a representative tell Entertainment Weekly that they still plan on going forward with the publication of the Kate Gosselin book. From the outside, it seems like the publishing company is looking for another way to bring in money, even though the Gosselins will be heading to court hearings that will decide how the Jon and Kate Gosselin divorce plays out in the end. It's possible that the published hopes that the Gosselin's marriage doesn't end in divorce, and maybe that is why they are going forward. The other reason could be the pay day.

The current release date for Kate Gosselin's Love Is in the Mix is scheduled for October 13th, which puts it a few months away still, and could have a lot of different events happen in the lives of the Gosselin's before the book even makes it to the first run at the presses. Zondervan, the publisher for the book, did release a statement addressing the problems of Jon and Kate Gosselin. Part of their statement was as follows: "We are saddened by this news from the Gosselins and will continue to lift both Jon and Kate and their children up in prayer. We respect their need for time to focus on their family during this difficult time, and we will work with Kate to reassess the schedule for her next book with Zondervan."

This is the same publisher that put out Kate Gosselin's book Multiple Blessings and Eight Little Faces, so they know how to advertise for Kate Gosselin and her books, and that could be why they think it could still be a success in book stores. It seems like this could be a book that would fail to generate sales as more people get frustrated with the way that Jon and Kate Gosselin dominate the news, and with the eminent divorce of the couple, it would seem that the "stock value" for Gosselin merchandise would be depleted. Will people still buy a Kate Gosselin book if the family divorces?
