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 595: A Chat with Jeremiah Friedli
byChautona Havig

Have you ever had to choose between saving one life or twenty? Fifty? Listen in as Jeremiah Friedli and I chat about his Core Decipher and whether his character Seth should save one life at a time or if he risks his life to save many.

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

This Core series is so timely–with the way surveillance becomes more intrusive every day, ummmm. Yeah.

Core Decipher by Jeremiah Friedli

One hacker. One impossible mission. Zero margin for error.

Seth Alvarez has the ultimate power in a surveillance state: cyber invisibility. Using stolen tech that makes him a ghost to the all-seeing CORE system, he’s the resistance’s most valuable protector. But when CORE prepares a deadly upgrade that will crush all hope of freedom, Seth must make an impossible choice: stay hidden and keep saving lives one at a time, or risk everything by going undercover inside CORE’s fortress for a chance to liberate thousands. Allying with a former enemy, Seth must pull off the most dangerous hack in history—one that will either liberate an entire nation or destroy everyone he loves.

Learn more about Jeremiah on his WEBSITE and follow him on GoodReads.
