Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

To celebrate the release of All Is Bright, I've written a bonus short story: A Noel Christmas. Purchase or read and get your copy. FREE! via @chautonahavig

The Christmas Lights Collection Presents:

All Is Bright

The authors and I were all talking about what we could do to celebrate the release of All Is Bright.  Parties are fun, but with everyone on different time zones and me being pretty much out of commission, stranded here in Noel, it wasn’t going to happen.  I wanted to chronicle my experiences anyway, so I wrote a super-fast, six-thousand-word short story.  It takes place right here in the “Christmas City” of Noel, Missouri and features places, people, events, and traditions near and dear to my heart.  I even featured my mom’s house in the story.

And no, I did not need a fire extinguisher while cooking.  I’m appalled that you’d assume of all the real things in the story, that must be the one and the one that applies to me!

It’s easy to get your bonus.  Just email any of the authors in the set with a screenshot of the Amazon page showing your purchase or the final “thanks for reading” page if you read it on Kindle Unlimited.  You can even forward your Amazon receipt.  Once we see that you actually have the set (because this is a special thank you to those who are cheering us on!), we’ll zip you the link lickety splickety.

Here’s a hint.  I’ll be traveling and settling my mom in for the next few days, so if you want yours fast, you might want to email one of the other authors! I’ll do my best, but…

What’s the short story?

A Noel Christmas.  Hint.  If you want to sound like a local, you say “Nole…” Not No-ell. Just sayin’.

All Is Bright BONUS

Hey, if you haven’t gotten your copy of All Is Bright, yet, don’t worry. For just .99 you can own it.  Or, if you have Kindle Unlimited, the whole collection is there. “FREE.”

Not only that, but if you are just dying to have all four stories in paperback, you can do that, too!  They’d cost you an easy twenty-four to thirty dollars to buy them separately, but you can get all four in the paperback version for just $19.99!

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 563: A Chat with Stephanie Mack
byChautona Havig

I always love a “What if?” story, and when I chatted with Stephanie Mack about her Twenty Something Else, I knew this would be an amazing one. Listen in and see what it’s all about.

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

Stephanie Mack sure seems to have a fun, unique voice, and I can’t wait to read all the books!

Twenty Something Else by Stephanie Mack

Sutton Layne is almost-forty and fabulous, with a happy marriage, three beautiful children, and a successful interior design business. But there’s plenty of chaos behind the scenes of early midlife. Her preteen son is going off the rails, her husband is bailing on the party he was supposed to throw her, and that thriving business? If she can’t land her next big client, it might all come crashing down. Then a surprise DM from someone in her past sends her spiraling into what-ifs. What if she settled down too young? Walked away from her big break? Never had her great adventure?

Despite her simmering mini-crisis, Sutton can’t wait for the birthday luncheon and pickleball tournament her friends have planned in her honor. But when an accident on the court knocks her out cold, she wakes up somewhere else . . . and is offered the chance to do it all over again. She can revisit her twenties―out of order and on her own terms. And this time around, anything goes: cities, careers, friendships. Even love.

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

Okay, so maybe her conclusions about how we glorify God might be a bit extreme, but no one can argue that it worked out well for her. Proposing to a guy she's not in love with (yet!)?
