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 602: A Chat with Paul Headworth
byChautona Havig

Christians are fond of saying that Christ has already defeated Satan, but sometimes, it sure doesn’t seem like it. Listen in as I chat with Paul Headworth about his novel exploring this in his book, Prophetic Redemption.

Headworth focuses on the difficulties of cases and what happens when things go wrong. By the time we got done talking, I knew I’d have to read it.

Prophetic Redemption by Paul Headworth

This special novel is geared for the believer and nonbeliever, providing an engaging murder mystery while sowing many positive and possibly life-changing messages.

A judge from the 32nd Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Publishing Book Award cited, “The masterful use of suspense is key to maintaining reader engagement and greatly enhances the story’s captivating appeal. Additionally, the rich character motivations and development, especially evident in Charlie’s relentless pursuit of justice for his wife and son, alongside Paul’s transformative journey, render these characters both believable and relatable. Moreover, this book defies the stereotype that inspirational works lack depth. Instead of burdening readers with recipes, it proves that such books can be emotionally resonant and deeply thought-provoking.”

Over halfway there! 🎉✨ I just crossed the 50,000-w Over halfway there! 🎉✨ I just crossed the 50,000-word mark on Dear Uncle Nick, and you know what that means… it’s time to open Box 4 of my Archer & Olive Advent Box! 🎁
Nothing motivates a writer quite like a stationery treat every 5,000 words. Just like an Advent calendar builds anticipation for Christmas morning, each little box gets me one step closer to bringing this 1934 farming community and their heartwarming advice column to your bookshelf on Black Friday! 🎄✍️
There’s no preorder for this one, so we are counting down the days and words together until launch day.
👇 Your turn: At 55,000 words, I get to open Box 5! Leave your best guess in the comments—what stationery surprise do you think is hiding inside next? 🖊️📓

I am officially halfway through writing my upcoming historical Christmas novel, Dear Uncle Nick! Writing this story—which centers around a cozy, small-town advice column in a 1934 farming community—has been such an encouragement even to me!
To keep my momentum going so this book is ready for you by Black Friday, I’m treating myself to a little joy: opening a beautiful @ArcherandOlive Advent Box "gift" every time I complete 5,000 words. 45K means Box 3 is officially MINE! But now how to use this amazing journal? HELP!
Because this book releases on Black Friday without a preorder, I’d love for you to follow along here so you don’t miss the release day announcement. Your prayers and encouragement mean so much to me (and to Eddie Morten--I'm sure of it!)

Dear Uncle Nick, Our town has a lot of people in n Dear Uncle Nick,
Our town has a lot of people in need—no mistake about that.
We can’t meet them all, but we can do what we can to help.
Everyone loves a good box social, but that can be expensive, especially this time of year.
I propose a “dessert social.” We apply the same premise, but the boxes only hold enough dessert for two. Penny bids can be augmented by work or other goods. Folks can even buy the “augments.”
What do you think?
Hungry for cinnamon rolls!

Ever heard of a box social? 📦✨ In 1934, during the height of the Great Depression, communities had to get creative to help neighbors in need.
This "unprinted letter" from the archives of my upcoming historical Christmas novel, Dear Uncle Nick, shows the exact heartbeat of a small farming town trying to survive winter with a little sweetness and a lot of grit.
✍️ The Question: If you were bidding on a dessert box for two tonight... what dessert would you hope is inside? Let me know in the comments!

Writing with white gel ink on kraft paper just hit Writing with white gel ink on kraft paper just hits different. 🖊️🤎
I’m currently sitting at 42k+ words for Dear Uncle Nick, plotting a storyline that is giving me all the feels.
Meet our Banker dude. He can handle the town's finances under the pressure of the Great Depression, but put him in a social setting and he completely freezes up. He is incredibly shy. But winter is coming, and he's being pressured into a marriage of convenience to save his late friend's daughter from the freezing 1934 streets. ❄️💍
Despite his quiet, protective pining and our main couple's semi-secret admirer flirting through the newspaper columns, this book is more than just romance. It's a huge found family of cast that I'm loving.
Only a few thousand words left until the 45k milestone and Box #3! Let’s go! ⌨️✨
