Announcements
Unwavering Faith is now available. Many readers have already finished the book and have shared how much they enjoyed it. Thank you all for your compliments and encouragement.
Many have encouraged me to enter Unwavering Faith into some writing contests. I especially want to try one, but entry requires $2,000 in sales. This is equivalent to 134 paperbacks or audiobooks or 286 eBooks. Any combination of these will get me to the $2,000 mark needed to enter the contest. Can you help me reach this goal? If you have not already purchased your copy head on over to www.literaryscape.com/shop to get yours today. If you have already purchased your copy, then please share the link to purchase with your friends. Let’s see if we can meet this goal by March 15th. Entries for the contest are due by March 31st. With your help, we make this happen!
