Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

Guess What! I Found My Name in a New Favorite Author’s BOOK!

by Chautona Havig · 1 Comment

Lisa Phillips has a new release & another one coming at the end of June. Last Chance County series will wrap up then & spin off a new one! via @chautonahavig

It all started with a joke. Lisa Phillips (not Harris) and I were teasing each other on Avid Readers of Christian Fiction one day, and we challenged each other to use the other’s name in a book.  Well… Let’s face it. I got the easy job I mean, Lisa Phillips… or Chautona Havig. Which is easier to insert into a novel?  And like the slacker I am, I didn’t take that challenge as seriously as I should have.

Well, Lisa Phillips is NO slacker. That woman rose to the challenge and went far and away.  Thanks to her diligence, I’ll be upping my game in the book I’m writing now. You’ll see my pathetic attempt in Flipping Hearts (July), but watch out for what happens in Finding a Memory (January). That’s all I’m sayin’.

Anyway, I’d only read about 40% of the book when we chatted, so I even gave a hint at what she’d done.  That’s because that’s all I’d seen.  “Toni” as the character’s name.  Few people know this, but when I was little, some in my family called me Toni.  It was even one of the pseudonyms I’d considered before giving up and deciding I’d just have to use a hard-to-spell name and folks would have to suffer. #becauseChautona. Just sayin’.

Well, there’s more than just “Toni” in this book, but you’ll have to read to figure out who Chautona Havig is in here and why she’s got the characters all confused.

Guess What! I Found My Name in a New Favorite Author’s BOOK!

And no, she’s not a new favorite author because she used my name.  It’s because she’s a fabulous writer!

Expired Flight is a no-holds-barred story that kicks off with a guy, a gun, and a woman without any idea who she is. Lisa Phillips (#notHarris as I’ve typed three times already) has five series available for your adrenaline-rush pleasure, and another one is starting soon!

Lisa Phillips ‘ series are:

  • Northwest Counter-Terrorism Taskforce
  • Double Down
  • WITSEC Town
  • Legend Hunters
  • Secret Service Agents
  • Denver FBI

As a Love Inspired author, Lisa Phillips says their preference for high-stakes action and cliffhangers has kept her other series just as fast-paced and with romance that takes time to build.

You can find more about Lisa and her books at either her regular WEBSITE or at LastChanceCounty.

Lisa Phillips Expired FlightAbout Lisa Phillips’ Expired Flight

She can’t remember who she is.
He’ll never give up the life he knows.

Jeff Filks lives life as a ghost. It’s the only way to keep the people he cares about safe. But a lifetime of training doesn’t just go away, even when he’s suffered a life-altering injury.

When he spots a woman fleeing a gunman in the middle of the night he steps in to help, determined to remain anonymous. But the secret she’s forgotten is deadly—to both of them—and the past won’t quit coming. The hunt is on.
A woman with no memory on the shore of the Last Chance lake.

A man who must remain nameless to survive.

    How fun! I do not think I have read any of Lisa Phillips books (although I have Lisa Harris!). I do have several of her books on my TBR list though. I know I would enjoy her Witsec books, that just fascinates me!

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 162: A Chat with Author, Nancy Naigle
byChautona Havig

Hey, we’re back after a couple of weeks of vacation, and boy did I need it. And, have I got a fabulous interview for you. Nancy Naigle and I talked about her books, her most recent release, What Remains True as well as her Christmas books and the one I’m most anxious to read, The Shell Collector. Listen in and learn about what Nancy says about this bet she has going on in What Remains True. Great stuff!

Need a Great Romantic Read to Wind Up Your Summer Reads?

As I said in the podcast, a while back, someone told me I’d LOVE The Shell Collector–one of those people who recommends books you HAVE to read if they say you do.  So I bought it and it’s been sitting on my shelf ever since. Well, now it’s on my GoodReads shelf, and I’m about to start it (and I optimistically thought I’d be done with it by the time this episode released. Oh, me of too much faith in myself and my time management!)

Author of over thirty books, not to mention a bestselling author who also has movies made of her novels (And The Shell Collector has been optioned! EEEP!), Nancy loves to write Christmas books and small-town stories. Seriously, as we talked, I felt like she was talking about me half the time. We’re so very alike in so many ways. It was fun.

Nancy also pointed out that her first books (if you go WAY back) are not Christian fiction and are a bit spicier than she prefers to write and definitely more than she writes today. So be warned there, but she did assure us that they are all closed-door books.

What Remains True by Nancy Naigle

One woman wants to win a bet. One man wants to become a rodeo champion. One little girl may give them both something even better—from USA Today bestselling author Nancy Naigle.

“A commitment-phobic rodeo star and a divorcée with secrets find love in this wholesome romance. . . . As uplifting as it is sweet.”—Publishers Weekly

Working at a little shop on Main Street in a small town is exactly the break that executive Merry Anna Foster needs following her divorce. She’s made a bet with her ex-husband that she can live on the amount of money she’s giving him in alimony. If she can do it, then Kevin will have to stop complaining and leave her alone. But after three months of this new life, will she even want to leave Antler Creek?

Adam Locklear, bull rider and owner of the local feedstore, is having the best year of his rodeo career. He’s also a bit distracted by the pretty new neighbor living in his old bunkhouse. But Adam has no time for matters of the heart. He’s got his future all mapped out, and that future doesn’t involve a woman just yet. It doesn’t involve parenting a little girl either. However, Carly Fowler still suddenly leaves five-year-old Zan—the daughter Adam didn’t know he had—in his care.

Is it possible that the future holds a life even better than what Merry Anna and Adam had each dreamed of? One that includes both tenderness and even love—not just for each other but for Zan too?

You can learn more about Nancy’s books and movies on her WEBSITE.

Oh, and PSST… I’m loving the audiobook of this one!
