What Others Are Saying About Wynnewood:

“I like the mystery surrounding Dove, and of course, the dragon. I’m happy that there will be multiple books so the mystery keeps coming.  I enjoyed Philip’s story about becoming an archer and the different places he was able to go to learning about it.  I’d like to do that.”  ~Jonah in CO

~~~*~~~*~~~

“It’s Awesome!  I can’t wait for the sequel.  It’s so exciting because it’s about a girl and a boy who have adventures.  I love adventures especially those that are fantasy.”   Mitchell in WV

~~~*~~~*~~~

“It is exciting; you want to read more and more and more. Has she finished the second one yet?  It was like a mystery and I love a good mystery.”  Mary in NC

~~~*~~~*~~~

“We have enjoyed reading Shadows and Secrets aloud as a family.  Our children cannot wait for the sequel to make its debut.  Thanks for blessing us through your writing!”  The “M” family in AL

~~~*~~~*~~~

“I’m looking forward to Volume II. Chautona really created a wonderful world where values mean something. Children not only get to take a great adventure into a different world, they learn what it is to be both human and humane. I had a wonderful time reading this story to my six-year-old son, who loves fantasy already. Now, he’s a huge fan of Wynnwood!”  DT in FL

~~~*~~~*~~~

“This is a wonderful story that takes you into a mildly fantastical land (meaning minus the magic and witches) that is filled with adventure and fun. Rich characters and detailed imagery make this a fantastic read. This book will certainly help instill in your child(ren) a love of reading.”  Christy in MO

~~~*~~~*~~~

“I really enjoyed this historical fiction/fantasy young adult novel. The setting is Medieval Northern England and is very realistic. There just also happens to dragons near the village.”  Stacy via LibraryThing

~~~*~~~*~~~

“My son adored Shadows and Secrets. He jammed through it in a day or two. He really liked the way you built the setting and made Wynnewood come alive. He thought your characters were well-formed. It left him longing for more – and he is eagerly awaiting the next installment.  As for the rest of us, its on the top of our ‘read-aloud’ list – – and the girls have been studying the map in preparation for our reading!!”    A family in CA

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 543: A Chat with Stephanie Cardel
byChautona Havig

I love it when YA deals with real issues kids face, so I was crazy excited to hear about Stephanie Cardel’s This Isn’t Shakespeare. From what direction her life should go to peer pressure of various kinds, Cardel weaves a story that I feel is important. Listen in and learn why.

This Isn’t Shakespeare by Stephanie Cardel

To be or not to be…a professional dancer. Seventeen-year-old Madison is a hopeless romantic who loves quoting Shakespeare and dreams of becoming a professional ballet dancer—a dream she hides, afraid of disappointing her mom and her boyfriend. But when her dreams fall apart, she believes it’s a sign from God that she should commit to her boyfriend and make a new dream. When she realizes God wouldn’t give her a sign that points her to sin, the happily-ever-after she’s planned crumbles. Now Madison must confront the lies she’s told herself and all the red flags she’s ignored. In the process, she begins to understand that seeking God’s will may not lead to a perfectly scripted ending—but it might just lead to something real.

Learn more on Stephanie’s WEBSITE and follow on GoodReads and BookBub.

Going nuts over here waiting for yet ANOTHER Lord Going nuts over here waiting for yet ANOTHER Lord Edgington by @benedictbrownauthor novel. Sigh. I dont think this is what Solomon was talking about when he said, "A virtuous woman, who can find?"
Clearly,  he wasn't talking about me, considering the whole patience being a virtue thing.
