Announcements

December 7th is our last Coffee and Books event for 2024. Join us from 1:00-2:00 pm EST for an hour of entertaining book discussion with authors Abbey Downy, Jodi Basye, and Karen Witemeyer. Sign-up for the is free event at www.literaryscape.com/events.

The Unwavering Faith pre-orders opened last Friday. If you’ve followed along for a while you know that I am only selling my books on our LiteraryScape website. I want to have a direct connection with my readers and ensure that my book sales do not support companies that put funds into organizations that do not align with God’s word.

So, to get my books and any merchandise we have you will need to head on over to www.literaryscape.com/shop. Now, I want to explain a couple of things real quick. If you are watching the video for this episode, then you will be able to see this part. The paperback books and merchandise are housed on our online store at www.literaryscape.com/shop. The eBook and audiobook are housed on our ThriveCart store. You can visit our home page or click on the Unwavering Faith link under Author Melissa LaShure in the context menu to access the buy links for these two books. Just click on the eBook button or the audiobook button. This will take you to our Thrivecart checkout where you can complete your purchase.

This is not as smooth of a purchasing flow as we want, but it is our current solution for directly selling the eBook and audiobook versions of Unwavering Faith. Currently, BookFunnel who delivers these books for us and Squarespace who hosts our website, do not connect for these sales. I am hoping that one day soon they will. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work towards an easier checkout process for you.

I also want to point out that we have some merchandise on pre-order in our store. We have the men’s T-shirt featuring the Bounty Brothers logo and the women’s T-shirt featuring the Unwavering Faith logo. This week we added four different mugs and two totes, so be sure to head on over to www.literaryscape.com/shop and check them out. All items in the shop are on pre-order and will ship out on February 1, 2025.

You may ask why do I need to pre-order? Well, this is our first round of selling each of these items. Pre-orders help us determine how much of the product we need to order so that we do not end up with products no one wants. So, any item that does not sell during pre-orders will not remain in our shop. If you see something you like and want, then go ahead and pre-order today.
