Storenvy lets anyone set up a shop and sell just about anything! Songdove Books has a store there offering not just paperbacks, but also notebooks, pens, and a few other items to enhance your reading enjoyment. Products are dropshipped from their source of manufacturing.
https://gumroad.com/songdove
Gumroad is similar to storenvy, but is geared toward the sale of digital goods. Physical goods may also be sold there, so Songdove Books is offering paperback options, digital versions of Marilynn’s books, and the first of 12 prayer card downloadable sets.

eBay is a short-term auction site whose apparently automated relisting service doesn’t always relist as advertised. However, for the duration of this 12 day discount tour, Songdove Books will be offered here with listings beginning at just above wholesale. Each auction will run for five days, ending the day of each book’s feature. The advantage of this method is that you can watch the auction and put in your bid last-minute to get a better chance at winning that particular auction. If you jump in while others are bidding earlier in the process, you’ll drive up the needed bid to win. (oops, did I just give away an auction secret???)
Createspace.com
Createspace is the paperback printer behind the Songdove Books imprint! As a division of Amazon.com, Createspace allows authors to get into print faster than by hiring agents, waiting on traditional publisher rejection letters (which may never come), and putting out money on vanity publishers. All Songdove Books in paperback are available for sale directly from Createspace at links that will be provided throughout the tour.
https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/songdove
Smashwords is one of two major distribution channels for ebooks. They have some rules that make it difficult to successfully use their service if certain requirements by an author are in place. If an author doesn’t have those requirements, then smashwords is a bit easier to use. Two Songdove Books are offered on this site and will be featured on tour.

Amazon.com! While many major book retailers don’t offer the ability for an author to control their book prices, and even though Amazon has been fighting courts and other major publishers over book prices, they are still a good place to go when looking for deals. All Songdove Books in paperback and four of them in e-book format are available on Amazon. The ebooks will be marked down significantly for the duration of this 12 days of Christmas discount tour.
