Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

From Encouraging Mama to Sweet Romance, One Author’s Journey

by Chautona Havig · Leave a Comment

Patty H. Scott burst onto the Christian & sweet romance scene with two delightful series just two years ago. Find out how she started and why. via @chautonahavig

So when Patty H. Scott and I chatted… ALMOST A YEAR AGO, she only had two series going.  This crazy prolific author and delightful woman has since taken both series to a total of nine books so far!

We chat about how she went from writing encouraging Christian motherhood books to her new branch into sweet romance and all that goes with that. And right upfront, I’d like to apologize for this episode getting lost in the archives.  EEEP!  So sorry, Patty!

From Encouraging Mama to Sweet Romance, One Author’s Journey

Patty H. Scott exudes encouragement, whether chatting or writing to worn-out mothers or in her latest writing endeavors, her sweet romance series. What started as a character who intrigued her burst into her first novel, Love’s Second Chance, when another writer friend told a story one day.

Since then, she’s written five books in that Unforgettable Love Series and four in the Calloway Inn series.

Love’s Second Chance features Kat, a delightful character who tends not to have much of a filter, which as a photographer, might be good… Just kidding.  But seriously, I personally loved her character, the storyline–everything. It was fresh and fun and like Patty herself, encouraging!

As a “second chance” romance, it starts off different from most!  I like that!  She also has a “boss” romance, a fireman, a rancher… Patty has pulled out all the tropey stops, and the result is one super-fun series.

Love’s Second Chance by Patty H. Scott

Love's Second Chance by Patty H. ScottShe swore off men until she met him.

Katrina Bradshaw is a free-spirited photojournalist who has endured “a series of unfortunate events” (aka her love life). Could Jack be different than other men?

Jack is a buttoned-up young executive with a five-year plan and a dream he hasn’t shared with anyone. Katrina opens possibilities Jack had only dared to imagine. and Jack apart. What will it take for them to find their second chance at love?

Jack and Katrina keep running into one another … but then a series of near misses threatens to keep them apart.

Will they find their second chance at love?

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 573: A Chat with Cheryl Weber
byChautona Havig

I feel like Christian fantasy is really exploding. So when I read about Cheryl Weber’s Never Forsaken, I knew I’d have to read it. Listen in as we chat about the world, the faith, and the story.

Never Forsaken by Cheryl Weber

Giant snake gods. Worshippers of sensuality. A jealous rebel. A failing king.

A courageous, young prince who struggles to uphold truth and justice.

Caught in the middle, one young woman fights for her future and the very destiny of her soul.

Ariel Summerfield was a girl when tragic loss, followed by a devastating betrayal, broke her heart and robbed her and her family of wealth and prestige. Ten years later, she is still struggling to hold them all together.

Can what was lost be restored? Will she ever be free to pursue her dreams?

But those with vile intentions for Ariel lay in wait. And one terrible day, she finds herself captive to a fate she never would have chosen. Will she yield to the voice that promises victory over her enemies but leads to the ultimate destruction of body and soul?

Or will she entrust her life and dreams to the all-powerful One who cherishes her like no other and can redeem the shattered remnants of her life? Even when all seems lost.

Learn more on Cheryl’s WEBSITE and follow on GoodReads.

Judah Hensley knows three underacknowledged things Judah Hensley knows three underacknowledged things. 1. Alpacas are gross. 2. Family is complicated. 3. Faith is even worse. He might have to spend his summer hawking devotionals and enduring yet another, "Have a blessed day," but he'll survive by driving his coworker crazy and trying not to annoy his parents. Much.
Panda Marie knew working with Judah would be awful, but finding out he's lost his faith? Now what?
One old bookstore, one new location, one last summer to survive and then they all get a new start on life. Question is, will it really be better?

Can the small town of Berne support two bookstores Can the small town of Berne support two bookstores? Of course, not. Does that stop Anne Montgomery from opening one practically next door to the other one? It does not. Their friendship may be dead, but nothing will stop her from running her dream bookstore. And... she got the prime location. It's perfect!
Except it isn't. If something doesn't change, she'll flop faster than this year's over-hyped novel. After much pleading (and some interfering), Milton and his trusty parrotlet, Atticus (not Finch) arrive to help.
Book two in the Bookstrings series (aside from the two prequel novellas), Clock Tower Bound is available in print, on Kindle (and Kindle Unlimited), and coming soon to audiobook (and @ChristaDelSorbo's) YouTube Channel (where you can listen free!).
