Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

Are You Ready for a Reckless, Wild, Riveting Series Finale?

by Chautona Havig · Leave a Comment

Blind Trust, the final book in the SNAP Agency series releases in a few months, but Natalie Walters and I discussed it and more recently. via @chautonahavig

I was introduced to Natalie Walters through her first book, Living Lies, and as I chatted with her about her upcoming release, Blind Trust, I realized the reason the second book in that series felt different (and I stopped reading) was because I actually listened to the first book on audiobook! DUH!  So, last night I started listening to the sample and immediately felt drawn in the same way. Weird, I know. But her second series, the SNAP Agency series went without a conversation due to all kinds of trouble, so we chatted about the whole series, especially the second book, Fatal Code (available now), and the third book, Blind Trust (releasing April 11, 2023). Listen in to learn more!

Are You Ready for a Reckless, Wild, Riveting Series Finale?

Whooeee, I had a fun time chatting with Natalie Walters this week. Her last book in the SNAP Agency series might not come out for a few months, but those months are going to fly by and you have THREE books you can read while you wait. Not only that, but as we talked about, the first book, Lights Out, is half off at Baker Book House (with free shipping!) AND… there’s a series prequel available for Kindle Unlimited readers (or to purchase! Feed an author!) right now. Or, you can wait and get that novella FREE in the month or so before release. Learn more about that on Natalie’s website (link below).

I loved the way Natalie described this agency as kind of an Avengers thing where everything goes terribly wrong and the fate of the nation is in peril unless SNAP gets it together and saves the day. Exactly what the cold, chilly (dare I call it a “cold SNAP”?) calls for, right?

You can listen in to the interview about the first book in this series, Lights Out, HERE.

Blind Trust Natalie WaltersBlind Trust by Natalie Walters

When Lyla Fox receives a threatening letter from a man she put in prison, she uncovers clues that lead to a deadly government conspiracy–making her a target that fellow SNAP Agent Nicolás Garcia will protect at all costs. But working with Lyla proves to be more dangerous than he expects–for the mission and for his heart.

You can learn more about Natalie and her books on her WEBSITE.

You can also preorder Blind Trust at BakerBookHouse.com at 40% off AND… with free shipping–so better than Amazon even. ALSO…

Don’t forget that if you preorder this book, you can order another book at the same time and receive it with the free shipping deal, too! 😀

Finally, don’t forget the prequel novella, Initium. You can read it free on Kindle Unlimited today, or sign up for Natalie’s newsletter to get it free later!

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 546: A Chat with Chuck Richardson
byChautona Havig

What if Earth had a twin planet, but the people God created there never sinned? Listen in as Chuck Richardson and I chat about his book and what it all could mean if it happened.

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

I’m still reeling from the idea that a sinless sacrifice is what was needed, so a sinless human (as Jesus was) could actually pay the price for sinful man in this fictional world he’s created. Assuming he even goes that route someday. Still fascinating.

Paradise Unfallen by Chuck Richardson

What if Adam and Eve had resisted the serpent? Welcome to Erimea-Earth’s twin world, untouched by original sin.

Solis and Livi, the first parents of Erimea, begin their lives in perfect fellowship with God. But their obedience does not end the war. Satan and his legions simply turn their fury upon the new world.

As the population of Erimea rises, tensions crack the harmony of paradise. A powerful life-giving resource becomes scarce. Rumors spread. God is silent. And a restless humanity flirts with fear, force, and false gods.

To save their descendants from repeating Earth’s tragedy, Solis and Livi must confront deception, division, and the relentless pressure of darkness. Their journey-from innocence to holiness-will determine the future of an unfallen world.

If you enjoy Christian fantasy, biblical what-ifs, spiritual warfare, and epic worldbuilding, you will love Paradise Unfallen.

Perfect for fans of: C.S. Lewis Ted Dekker

Step into the world that might have been-and the war that still rages.

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.

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