The Sofa Scoop from Phil
The Irregular Newsletter for the Living Room Disciple and LT Publishing.
Back from Break
It’s been a longstanding Living Room Disciple habit to take the last two and first two weeks of the year off, as a time of rest and prayer. This go around, it was also a time for some serious creative pursuit (about 60k worth of words on the rough draft of The Glorious Fall of Layla Ricker).
But we’re back now, and you should start seeing regular Substack posts coming again next Saturday (January 24th).
Some New Book News…
We are so incredibly excited to announce that our first book of 2026 should be rolling out this Summer. Written by Vanessa Matelski, The Keeper of What Can’t Be Told (working title) is a middle-grade urban fantasy that is truly wonderful. We’re in the middle of edits now, but will be able to roll out more information soon.
In the meantime, check out Vanessa’s post here for more info!
This is one of three novels currently on the docket for release this year, so stay tuned for more information on those other works!
Back In Stock
You may have noticed The Tragedy of Oli Ricker was out of stock for a minute there . . . it’s back! If you haven’t snagged it yet, we can’t recommend it enough.
We have six 5-star reviews on Amazon/Goodreads. I mean… come on. Six.
You can pick up a paperback using a link below. These links support LT Publishing the most (though you can totally pick it up at B&N and Amazon if that’s most convenient).
And if you want to order 5+ copies (Book Club, anyone?), use the bulk order link below for a small discount.
Audiobook, anyone?
We’ve heard from a number of you the desire of The Tragedy of Oli Ricker to come to audiobook. For a bit, we were exploring using a studio to make that happen. Unfortunately, that didn’t pan out.
So… we’re working on it in-house. Literally.
We’re going to document the whole journey on our social media, so if you aren’t following Living Tome on Instagram, you should.
Support In Prayer
Please keep praying for the provision of the Lord over the Living Room Disciple and LT Publishing.
In Christ,
Phil Snyder
