Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

Join Us for an Exciting Christmas Scavenger Hunt

by Chautona Havig · 5 Comments

We have an exciting Christmas Scavenger Hunt for you! Excellent prizes, lots of fun, and all bookish fun! Stop in and follow the links! via @chautonahavig

NOTE: This doesn’t begin until December 6, 2020 at 6:00 Eastern. Until then, many links won’t work.

Merry Christmas! It’s my turn on in this Christmas Round-Robin! Don’t forget, each author asks a question at each blog stop. You will find the answers to these questions by checking out the free Amazon preview of their book. Provide the answer at this Google Form.

Note: You must answer a question from each author in the round-robin to be considered to win one of the three generous Amazon gift cards. At the end of my post, you’ll find a link to the next blog. Each blog contains a link to the next for ease of following.

Also: Links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you

Christmas on Breakers PointMy book, Christmas on Breakers Point, wasn’t supposed to be more than a quick story to introduce readers to the (then) upcoming Independence Islands Series.  We just wanted a nice book to tide (pun intended) people over until July when the first book would release.

Mallory Barrows, my main character in the series, would have none of that. She had a story to tell and insisted I do it justice. I’ll be honest, I don’t know if anyone but the Lord could do that story justice, but I did my best. Covering love, loss, and total dependence on the Lord contrasted with disillusionment with the church and personal faith, Christmas on Breakers Point will touch your heart as all Christmas stories should, but it’ll also challenge your faith.

Isn’t that what Christmas is all about, though?

Uncle Bud has become not only my favorite character I’ve ever written but many of my readers’ as well. Able to use a dozen different endearments in half as many minutes, I’m sure you’ll love him as much as I do.

Even better, Christmas on Breakers Point is now available on audiobook from any of your favorite retailers–Kobo, Nook, Scribd, Apple Books, Google Play, Audible, and more!

Let’s begin this scavenger hunt! Go to Christmas on Breakers Point on Amazon at this link and find out what Uncle Bud calls his impending death.

Thank you so much for visiting!

The next author on the tour is Jaycee Weaver, and I know you’ll love learning about her Christmas book Five Gold Rings. You can find it at this link. Remember that the round-robin will end on December 13th at 11:59 PM EST!

    He said he won’t need a tie or mug where he’s going, and he was quite happy about that.

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.

Ever notice how you best know yourself--and know y Ever notice how you best know yourself--and know yourself the least?  We humans are weird that way. Sometimes I think the Lord allows us to be blind to parts of ourselves for a time so as not to drive us too crazy too quickly. Or something.
Characters most like me are hard because they're so very convicting to write AND... because I don't usually know it's me until that conviction its.  I tend to have an idealized picture of who I am until reality strips away those rosy glasses and leaves me with crystal-clear vision.  Blech.
Second to me... I'd say nasty people. They give me such an ick feeling. Sure, it's cathartic... but it's so hard because I want to redeem everyone, and that's just unrealistic and frankly, arrogant.  So... there you have it.
If you have a question you want me to answer, leave it in the comments OR... zip me an email at chautona@chautona.com.  I'll try to work them in (and will probably combine those that are really similar.

Clearly,  he wasn't talking about me, considering the whole patience being a virtue thing.
