Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

A HearthLand in Review

by Chautona Havig · 5 Comments

I wanted to take things back several episodes and give everyone a chance to catch up to where we are with HearthLand. So, this week, we’re going to give away Episodes 19 and 20. Episode 19 will be free all day today (Monday), and Episode 20 will be free tomorrow (Tuesday).

In Episode 19: Wedding plans have taken over HearthLand, and it seems almost everyone is getting into the spirit of things–to the delight of some and disapproval of others. Ralph has an idea to solve Annie’s problems, but she isn’t convinced. But just as everything seems right with the world, everything goes wrong.

In Episode 20: The vandalism doesn’t end with Kate and Janie’s place, and The Agency’s theory appears to be incomplete. The residents “mother” Ralph a bit as he endures forced “recuperation” and instead, drive him crazy.
Ramiro and Susannah talk to Kirk and things get dicey. Fireworks explode in several directions, and leave everyone wondering what sparks were ignited by them!

These episodes are my gift to you. It’s kind of a side “hobby” of mine, if you will. I enjoy bringing these characters to life, and you get to enjoy them for free on a weekly basis. I truly hope you enjoy them.

For those who are Kobo or Nook readers, email me.  I’ve got you covered.

    I’m trying to find the next part of Hearthland. You sent me links? Which were on my phone. So I’m hoping to get book 3. Can’t figure this out. I usually use my nook. Thanks for any help you can give me. Love Willow and need to keep following the story. Blessings and have a great day.

      Did you get them? I know I sent stuff the other day, but I was away from home, so I don’t trust the connection.

    I finished Prairie a couple of days ago and saw a sequel at the end. Will there be a sequel? I would love one, since I loved Prairie. There was one part of Prairie that I didn’t quite understand though. You said that Santa and the birth of Christ were intertwined. That bothered me since Santa is a lie, an inanimate being who takes away from the birth of Christ – and has, over time been given the attributes of God Himself, thus making him (Santa) a false god (rather than keeping him the man he had been originally patterned after Saint Nicholas, who simply gave gifts to the poor children.) Anyway, despite that, I loved the story and would love a sequel!

      That was kind of the point. She was trying to explain to people who had no cultural connection to “Santa” why he was connected to Jesus. She couldn’t do it. The fact that they are connected in her former culture (our culture) can’t be disputed (people even have Santa kneeling before Jesus in nativity sets to show the real balance of things). However, the point was that to people outside our culture who don’t know the origins and how they’ve shifted from respecting a godly man who tried to help the poor to something utterly unconnected with Christ it, would be confusing. And it was. And she didn’t really understand that it would be until she tried to do it. I guess the short version is, I agree with you. Santa and Jesus aren’t TRULY intertwined… but they are in our culture, and that’s something that we should be concerned with.

      And yes, I’m expecting to release the next book in the series (not really a sequel–more of a sister book) this year.

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 429: A Chat with J. A. Webb
byChautona Havig

Christian dystopian thrillers are too few and far between, but author J. A. Webb has a great one for us. Listen in while we chat about his Seekers Series and the second book, Inheritance.

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

Mix a corrupt secret society along with a priest on the run, and you’ve got a great mix. This series promises to be full of amazing twists and turns. 

  Inheritance by J. A. Webb

 A Dystopian Thriller of Deception, Faith, and the Fight for Truth

The Order has been betrayed. The hunters have been loosed.

Father Curtis has forsaken his vows. He has left the Order and joined the Seekers, a hidden rebellion dedicated to uncovering the truth long buried by the global church. But walking away from the Order does not mean escaping its reach.

When word spreads that a copy of the True Text — the original thirty-nine books of the Creator — has surfaced on the far side of the world, Curtis, Professor Reuel, and Phillip embark on a desperate mission. If they can retrieve the artifact, it could change everything. If they fail, the truth will be lost forever.

But the Eye of the Eternal, the secret police of the Order, has already mobilized. Their assassins are relentless. Their power is absolute. And they will stop at nothing to silence the truth.

Outnumbered and hunted, Curtis and his allies must risk everything to defy an empire built on deception. But against such overwhelming darkness, is faith enough? Or will their inheritance — humanity’s true past — be erased from history once and for all?

The war for truth has begun. And the Order will not suffer heretics to live.

A Gripping Tale of Power, Deception, and the Courage to Seek Truth

🔥 Perfect for fans of dystopian thrillers like 1984, Brave New World, and The Da Vinci Code—but with a Christian twist!

⚡ A suspense-filled journey into a world where illusion is law and questioning it means death.

📖 If you love stories of faith, defiance, and the battle against unseen tyranny, this is the book for you.

The Order has ruled from the shadows long enough. Are you ready to see the truth?
