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 502: A Chat with Kelli Galyean
byChautona Havig

I’m a sucker for a Christmas play novel, and second chances? Listen in to see why I’m eager for Kelli Galyean’s I Know the Feeling. #BecauseChristmas!

Don’t we all know someone who doesn’t know when to quit? The shock that comes the one time they could keep pushing… and don’t? Yeah that! OY!

I Know the Feeling by Kelli Galyean

They say timing is everything.

ER Nurse Maddie Reed is barely keeping her head above water at work. She certainly doesn’t have time to take over directing the children’s Christmas play at church. But when the director is put on bedrest at the last minute, Maddie can’t say no. The children are counting on her!

Maddie agrees to step up, prepared for the worst. Turns out “the worst” is worse than she thought. Her new assistant director is Chris Calvert, the most obnoxious man on the planet. To say they have history is an understatement.

Maddie braces for a disastrous month of pranks and shenanigans, but something about Chris is different. Working with him wasn’t supposed to be good, much less great. And when Maddie’s painful past shows up, Chris’ friendship proves steady again and again.

Maddie wrote Chris off a long time ago, but now she wonders. Is it possible to leave behind the old and let something new grow?

Learn more about Kelli on her WEBSITE and follow her on GoodReads.

Two desperate mothers send their only childrent to safety on this Kindertransport, but when those children arrive, nothing is as it seems or should be.
