Tertulia for Authors, Website Builder:  https://authors.tertulia.com/?via=grace

This tool is perfect for authors who need to establish a website, but don’t want to mess with the notoriously frustrating website builders. For a reasonable price, authors can generate a customizable website using the ISBN of a published book — or even just their name! Already have a website? Tertulia helps you transfer your domain and/or current website with ease. This tool is reasonably priced at just $7.99/mo when billed annually and offers a free domain name for your first year. After that, it’s $15.99/mo more. I have personally met with the people of Tertulia and know they truly prioritize supporting authors and providing excellent customer service.

Customizable Book Embosser: https://www.chiccraft.shop?afflr_id=BETWEEN

Last year for my birthday, a close friend gifted me this custom book embosser. Why? Because she knows about what I call my Legacy Bookshelf. Over the years, due to space and weight limitations, I’ve had to be very judicious about what books I can keep. Therefore, I had to start thinking deeply about every book I read to determine if they meant enough to me to keep. That is when I developed my Legacy Bookshelf, which is a special shelf in my bookcase devoted to only those books that I love so much that I plan to pass them on to my children one day. Knowing this, my friend bought me a custom book embosser to stamp the title pages of each legacy book, creating a one-of-a-kind collection that my family will cherish for decades. I cannot recommend this gift enough to your fellow book lovers! Use code BETWEEN at checkout.
