Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

Are You Ready for a Fabulous New Contemporary Christian Romance Series?

by Chautona Havig · Leave a Comment

Lisa Prysock and I had a lovely chat about how she got started writing, what she's working on now, and her latest book, Dial F for Family. via @chautonahavig

Lisa Prysock, historical and contemporary Christian fiction author, and I chatted about how she first started writing Christian fiction, her first book, the series she’s been a part of, and her most recent release in the You Are on the Air series.

Dial F for Family introduces a twenty-six-book, multi-author series featuring radio show hosts who help people with their relationship troubles.

Learn about the series, the party going on TODAY, October 1, 2021, and even a bit about another multi-author project, Save the Date.

Are You Ready for a Fabulous New Contemporary Christian Romance Series?

Strange how you can chat with someone often and still not know things about them.  For instance, I had no idea that Lisa Prysock began her Christian Fiction writing career writing about a mail-order bride for a duke.  Yeah. It’s a thing.  Guess what I’ll be reading soon!

In this interview, we learn about that first book, To Find a Duchess, how she transitioned into contemporary Christian fiction, and the many series and sets she’s a part of. One of those series was something she mentioned a couple of years ago and we just got kicked off… TODAY!

The first book in the You Are on the Air series released today. Dial F for Family features a relationship expert talk show host, a set of irrepressible twins, and a couple of quirky women–oh, and a couple whose marriage is apparently on the rocks.  Or so the kids think!

Lisa tells us all about the book, and even more about the party we’re having to kick off this series.  You want to get into the You Are on the Air Reader Group ASAP so you don’t miss out on the prizes and fun.

We also talked about another project we’re both a part of, Save the Date, and how much the project means to us as well as how we’ve all been affected by the deaths of two of our authors, Marion Morrison Ueckermann and Shoshanna Gabriel. Save the Date releases soon and then the $0.99 release price will go up.  All preorder money collected will be sent to the families.

When their pre-teen twin daughters mistakenly think Mom and Dad are headed for divorce, they begin calling the local Nashville radio station for on the air, expert Christian relationship advice from radio personality, Pippa Johnston, to save their parents’ marriage from doom.

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 475: A Chat with D. T. Powell
byChautona Havig

There aren’t enough authors willing to tackle the difficult stories. There just aren’t.  Many (guilty here!) feel inadequate to the task, want to escape the tough stuff rather than confront it–so many reasons. Listen in as I chat with D. T. Powell about what made her write, With Mercy’s Eyes.

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

 Loved chatting with Powell about her heart for those who often find it hard to interact with Christians–whose choices make others uncomfortable.  Powell shows love and compassion without ignoring Biblical truth, and the result is a powerful story we could all learn from.

With Mercy’s Eyes by D. T. Powell

He turned his back on God a long time ago. But God never forgot him.

Six months after struggling actor Lane Harris lost his husband in a tragic accident, he lands a movie role guaranteed to put him on the Hollywood map. But one producer holds the power to shut down his shot at stardom—and she’s a Christian. If she finds out he’s gay, it’s over. Lane is careful not to say too much around her.

When an alcohol-fueled tryst with his co-star ends in humiliation, and his landlord hands him an eviction notice, Lane looks for someone to talk to. He finds a confidant in the Christian producer. After a night of too little sleep and not enough coffee, he lets slip his sexual orientation. Instead of a verbal flogging, the woman recounts recently losing her own husband.

The only Christians Lane knows condemn him upon learning he’s gay. But this one is different. She doesn’t embrace his sexuality, but instead of treating him with disdain, she offers compassion. Christians are supposed to hate people like him. So, why doesn’t she? – – – – – – – With Mercy’s Eyes by D. T. Powell is an issue-facing, contemporary novel for adult churched Christians. It addresses homosexuality and same-sex attraction from a Biblical perspective without falling into the trap of the extreme responses we too often see from modern churches. It holds similar views to Jackie Hill Perry, Becket Cook, Rosaria Butterfield, and Christopher Yuan.
