About Me
I’m Tattie. Yes, that’s my real name, not a pen name. No, I didn’t misspell it. It really does begin with a “T”. I live in Southwest Missouri with my husband, daughter, and rescue dog, Mr. Pickles. I’ve been blessed to be able to homeschool my daughter since she was very little. We’re very active in our church where my husband serves as deacon. When I’m not finding treasures for the site I’m crocheting, writing, researching something crazy and obscure, or just hanging out with the family.
I don’t do social media. The best way to interact with me is to leave a blog comment, reply to the newsletter, or drop me an email at hello@ChristianBookFinds.com.
The History of Christian Book Finds
In August of 2011 I created a blog to share all the great books I was finding on sale. After running the site by myself for a few years I partnered with Laura Marshall, a friend and fellow author, and together we ran the site for a time.
In 2017 I decided to write full time and spend more time homeschooling my daughter, so Laura took the site and ran it for a few years.
She began working long hours and had other issues that prevented her from giving her best to the readers of this site and at the end of July, 2021 she contacted me and asked if she could pass the site back to me.
At the time I was building a new career in blogging and was ecstatic to have the opportunity. I began right away building a new website and here we are. It’s been so great having the site back. It feels like seeing my blog baby all grown up.
Neither one of us ever got rich running this site but it’s been a blessing and a ministry we both hold dear to our hearts.
So that’s the story of Christian Book Finds, which started as a Blogger blog nearly fifteen years ago in August, 2011.
Thanks for almost fifteen great years and I hope you stick around for another decade.
Tips for Using The Site
There are a few things I wish everyone knew when using this site.
Prices change quickly. Not all deals will still be deals by the time you find the post. Watch prices carefully.
Amazon (and I) need to make some money. Because of this, there are measures in place to limit free books. Not all the rules for this are up to me, but I promise to do my best to report all the best deals in a timely fashion.
We’re not just about cheap books. On the blog you’ll find articles about Christian books, book reviews, and discussions about books in general.
I can’t post every book and you wouldn’t want me to. If you see a deal on another site and wonder why I didn’t post it, it could be that I felt the books I had for the day were better, or that I already posted it on a previous day, or I was planning on posting it another day, or it’s possible I just missed it. I’m human, after all, but I do have OCD like tendencies when it comes to searching for daily finds.
I can’t put the books on sale, I can only report what I find. (You wouldn’t believe how many people don’t know this.)
I appreciate feedback. If something’s not working I’d really like to know so I can try to fix it. It’s easy to contact me. Just leave a comment on the post, reply to the newsletter, or email me at hello@christianbookfinds.com. Likewise, if you find something that isn’t Christian or wholesome, or anything offensive, I’d like to know so I can remove it. Again, I’m not perfect and I only have limited information and time to judge a book.
The people on the newsletter list are my special people. I don’t get along with social media (I would argue it doesn’t get along with me) and I do my best to avoid it altogether. Any social media platforms still running are on automatic and have been completely forgotten by me.
And there you have it. Now you have the inside scoop of how to get the most out of this site. Thanks for following along!
Tattie Maggard, Christian Author
I’m also a Christian indie author. I’ve written more books and short stories than I can count. You can find a full list my published books on My Books page. I’m currently writing Eternal Blessings, A Free Christian Web Drama. It is unlike anything I’ve written before. (Most of my books have been Amish fiction.)
You can find out way more than anyone needs to know about me on my blog, or join the Christian Book Finds newsletter where I share a short ramble most mornings.
I’ve recently combined my author site with Christian Book Finds. You can find my author homepage here.
Thanks for supporting Christian indie authors!
