Update #4 - Mars Can Wait Publishing Update Dec. 26, 2025

Good morning and Happy Holidays!  I am really excited to announce that the first copies of Mars Can Wait will be published by the end of February, 2026.  Final editing touches are being completed now and we are looking forward to getting your thoughts after you have the book in your hands.  We hope you will love it and want copies for everyone you know.  

The delay in publishing has been caused in part by our desire to send you the best, most user friendly and beautiful book we can create.  However, the delay has been compounded by an equally exciting development, the finalization of plans for a Mars Can Wait television series.  The series will begin filming in late January in Costa Rica.  On this inaugural episode, we will be spending time with Julianna Zeledon, owner of Down to Earth Coffee, visiting nature sites, and talking with conservation experts.  Follow up episodes will film in Minneapolis and Seattle, USA, Victoria, Canada, and other sites around the world. 

On Mars Can Wait, we will visit communities around the world and feature storytelling about real people creating a sustainable future in their personal and business lives. The aim is to make the stories fun, engaging, inspiring, and never overwhelming.  We want to demonstrate that every step matters and that together we can create a future that is sustainable for all of us. 

Thank you for your patience and support.  I hope you love the book and the series as much as we have loved developing both.  We will let you know when the books are sent and when and where episodes of the series are available. 

Please reach out if you have a suggestion for communities (or businesses or individuals) we should feature on Mars Can Wait.  

In appreciation.

Lori
