I am very excited indeed to announce the official release of my new book I’m Taking My Eggs and Going Home: How One Woman Dared to Say No to Motherhood.
It’s currently available in e-book format from Smashwords.com and Amazon.com, and next month it will also be available in the good old-fashioned printed version. You can be sure I’ll let you know when that happens.
If you’re an e-reader type or just can’t wait for the printed version, I’m offering the book at a special price for Life Without Baby readers. Download the book from Smashwords and use the code FB35D to get it half price – $4.95 instead of $9.95.
If you do read it, and love it, please tell everyone. If you read and don’t love it, please just tell me.
We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled programming tomorrow, but for today, it’s all about the book.
Sue says
Congratulations!!! How exciting!!! I’m so anxious to read it I might have to download it, but I love books. Guess I’ll just have to get both!
Congratulations again!
Sue says
I couldn’t wait. I downloaded it, read it, and I LOVED LOVED LOVED IT!!!! Did I mention I loved it??? I’ll be buying copies for family and friends. Not only is it poignant, it is a beautiful love story! Can’t wait for it to come out in print so I can read it again with my husband. My emotional journey has been SO similar to yours it was amazing to connect to a story so closely. Thank you for sharing it with the world!

Sue, thank you. You made me tear up in a meeting today. (That will teach me to read my email when I’m supposed to be paying attention to something else.)
I can’t tell you how much your comments mean to me. More than once I’ve asked myself “why did I bother writing this stupid book anyway?” and you’ve just provided the answer. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for that.
Colleen says
Not an e-reader so I will anxiously await the printed version!!! 🙂 Let us know when it is out.
Congratulations!!!!

Let me add my congratulations to the arrival of your new book. Yes, I want to buy a hard copy and hopefully, with your autograph, too. I hope you are planning a book signing – YES? Again, congratulations!
lmanterfield says
Yes! 🙂 I will definitely be getting out into the world and hopefully in your direction. It would be really great to actually meet you in person after talking online for so long. Thanks for your support and encouragement.
Lily says
Congratulations, Lisa! The cover is fantastic by the way. Can’t wait to read the story inside. Again congrats on an amazing accomplishment and for adding yet another much needed voice on this topic!
Karin says

Jennifer Gill says
Sorry it took me this long to respond, but congratulations on the book, Lisa! I will order my copy today.
In other news, happy Thanksgiving. I am thankful for you and the safe haven you give to all of us here! I hope everyone can find a little corner of the holiday to feel comfortable in…

Yay! What a great title. I am buying it now. Congratulations!!!
Lu says
I can’t wait to read this. I’ve heard such good things about your writings. I love the cover and the title.
I also have a book coming out – in just a few weeks about trying to find the lighter side of getting pregnant/infertility – kind of a girlfriend’s guide to pre-pregnancy.
I think these kinds of books are very important for child-free and infertile gals.
Thank you
lmanterfield says
Lu, let me know when it’s out so I can share it here.

Sonja Lewis says
Congratulations Lisa,
Sorry I didn’t say so earlier. Been in US for Thanksgiving and just settling back in to life in London. Anyhow, am going to download e-book and look forward to reading it.
I will happily review on my website. Let me know if there is anything else I can do. Best, Sonja
lmanterfield says
Sonja, thank you. I will definitely take you up on your offer. 🙂
Mali says
This is a little late – but I’ve just downloaded your book, and its in my e-reader for summer (ie Christmas/New Year) reading.
lmanterfield says
Yay! Thank you. I really hope you enjoy it. Think of us northern hemisphere dwellers while you’re lounging in your bikini. 🙂
