Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

Chautona Havig

Hi! I’m Chautona Havig.

With hundreds of books in progress and over 120 published, I write about fictional people who have real problems, weaknesses, and triumphs. Through their stories, I attempt to share the Hope that is within me.

In other words, I offer Christian fiction without pretense or apology–lived, not preached. I use story to connect YOU with the Master Storyteller.

Chautona

So, There Was That Time I Forgot What I Knew…

It finally happened. After four years of authors giving each other prompts at the release of a story, I slammed up against a wall.  Melissa Wardwell posted this for the authors of the Suamalie Islands…

“Be Careful Little Mouth What You Say” Ain’t No Lie

It started out innocently enough. Just silly playfulness between my mother and me. Now, before I tell you the story, it’s kind of important to point out something. I had no-nonsense parents. In fact, I…

Why Romance Is a Hairy Proposition (or is that proposal?)

It usually comes as a distress call. Six simple words that I zip to the woman who keeps me from looking like I’ve been hacked by a weed whacker. It goes something like this. Me:…

Austria, 1939. Before the "death trains," Hitler's Austria, 1939. Before the "death trains," Hitler's regime deported ten thousand children to Holland, Sweden, and even England on what was known as the Kindertransport. Two desperate mothers send their only childrent to safety on this Kindertransport, but when those children arrive, nothing is as it seems or should be.  A war-time mystery twist on "Hansel and Gretel" set just before the invasion of Poland.

When I knew Lauren would be one of my protagonists When I knew Lauren would be one of my protagonists of this year's New Cheltenham novel, I knew she'd have to be reading some mystery.  She's been on Poirot kicks and Marple kicks. Josephine Tey and I think Elizabeth Peters.  This year, I decided she'd REALLY love one of my favorite mystery series--the Lord Edgington Investigates by @benedictbrownauthor  If you love mystery, they're a lot of fun.  What I didn't know is that practical, prosaic Lauren would disgust herself when she realized she has a "book boyfriend" in Christopher Prentiss. Even her actual boyfriend knows her secret crush on a fictional young man from the 1920s.
This year's Christmas Lights Collection is the 10th we've done!  We're so proud of it!  Four towns battle it out in a Christmas Lights Showcase you won't want to miss.  Join @JayceeWeaver , @lainaturnerauthor , @CatheSwanson and me in this year's battle of the lights!
And seriously, if you love mysteries, don't miss Benedict Brown's.  He's brilliant and Christopher is awesome.  Lauren has that right. ;)
Releases October 7th!!

What's it about?
When protectors become targets, no one is safe.
Mark created The Agency to shield the innocent—but now an unknown foe fights to assume command. As shadowy threats tighten around Mark and his team, danger erupts on every front: terrorists at sea, betrayal within their ranks, and an enemy who always seems one step ahead.
While a Caribbean cruise turns deadly and secrets unravel in the agency’s halls, one shocking betrayal proves the enemy is closer than anyone imagined. Mark faces the fight of his life—not just for the future of his organization, but for the people he loves most. As faith and romance grow amid the fallout of shattered dreams, the stakes rise higher than ever.
The countdown to the series finale has begun… and survival is anything but guaranteed.
