Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

To celebrate the release of All Is Bright, I've written a bonus short story: A Noel Christmas. Purchase or read and get your copy. FREE! via @chautonahavig

The Christmas Lights Collection Presents:

All Is Bright

The authors and I were all talking about what we could do to celebrate the release of All Is Bright.  Parties are fun, but with everyone on different time zones and me being pretty much out of commission, stranded here in Noel, it wasn’t going to happen.  I wanted to chronicle my experiences anyway, so I wrote a super-fast, six-thousand-word short story.  It takes place right here in the “Christmas City” of Noel, Missouri and features places, people, events, and traditions near and dear to my heart.  I even featured my mom’s house in the story.

And no, I did not need a fire extinguisher while cooking.  I’m appalled that you’d assume of all the real things in the story, that must be the one and the one that applies to me!

It’s easy to get your bonus.  Just email any of the authors in the set with a screenshot of the Amazon page showing your purchase or the final “thanks for reading” page if you read it on Kindle Unlimited.  You can even forward your Amazon receipt.  Once we see that you actually have the set (because this is a special thank you to those who are cheering us on!), we’ll zip you the link lickety splickety.

Here’s a hint.  I’ll be traveling and settling my mom in for the next few days, so if you want yours fast, you might want to email one of the other authors! I’ll do my best, but…

What’s the short story?

A Noel Christmas.  Hint.  If you want to sound like a local, you say “Nole…” Not No-ell. Just sayin’.

All Is Bright BONUS

Hey, if you haven’t gotten your copy of All Is Bright, yet, don’t worry. For just .99 you can own it.  Or, if you have Kindle Unlimited, the whole collection is there. “FREE.”

Not only that, but if you are just dying to have all four stories in paperback, you can do that, too!  They’d cost you an easy twenty-four to thirty dollars to buy them separately, but you can get all four in the paperback version for just $19.99!

Episode 571: A Chat with Lucas and Shauna Fischhaber
byChautona Havig

I love me a good, unlikely hero. Chatting with Lucas and Shauna Fischhaber gave me a new one to root for. Listen in and see why I’m eager to read Gathering Storms.

The world, the plans, the way Lucas and Shauna interact and brainstorm–it was awesome!

Gathering Storms by Lucas Fischhaber

As storms descend, who will rise?

Amber Veloré never asked to be a hero. A daughter of the forest, her gift for taming wild creatures should have been enough. But when a legendary griffin crashes into her world on her nineteenth Crossing Day-majestic, wounded, and brimming with primal fury, a creature beyond even her ability-her quiet life shatters.

To the villagers of Thunder Ridge, the griffin is a curse, a living reminder of the Haze, a storm-born terror that cannot be contained. To the ruthless Dracara, its young is a prize worth blood and fire.

To Amber, it is a choice she cannot turn away from… even if it costs her everything. Far beyond her forest home, whispers of forgotten powers stir. Ancient artifacts, tied to Solaris’ greatest cataclysm-the Great Event-begin to resurface.

And as storms gather on the horizon, destinies entwine: a failed Dracara warrior desperate for redemption, siblings bound by loyalty and loss, and a girl who only ever wished to remain Amber, daughter of the forest. The storm is coming. And when it breaks, who will rise?

Every song whispers history. Every poem hides truth. In Gathering Storms, even the smallest verse carries the weight of forgotten worlds.

Set in the mythic world of Solaris-a land scarred by the echoes of a forgotten age-this sweeping tale blends adventure, mystery, and heart. Readers will uncover a world where griffins soar through thunderclouds, ancient artifacts hum with lost power, and the choices of a few can alter the fate of all.

For fans of the mythic wonder of The Inheritance Cycle, the depth of Earthsea Cycle, and the epic scale of The Lord of the Rings, Gathering Storms is a character-driven epic fantasy of memory, courage, and the power that awakens when hope refuses to fade.

Judah Hensley knows three underacknowledged things Judah Hensley knows three underacknowledged things. 1. Alpacas are gross. 2. Family is complicated. 3. Faith is even worse. He might have to spend his summer hawking devotionals and enduring yet another, "Have a blessed day," but he'll survive by driving his coworker crazy and trying not to annoy his parents. Much.
Panda Marie knew working with Judah would be awful, but finding out he's lost his faith? Now what?
One old bookstore, one new location, one last summer to survive and then they all get a new start on life. Question is, will it really be better?

Can the small town of Berne support two bookstores Can the small town of Berne support two bookstores? Of course, not. Does that stop Anne Montgomery from opening one practically next door to the other one? It does not. Their friendship may be dead, but nothing will stop her from running her dream bookstore. And... she got the prime location. It's perfect!
Except it isn't. If something doesn't change, she'll flop faster than this year's over-hyped novel. After much pleading (and some interfering), Milton and his trusty parrotlet, Atticus (not Finch) arrive to help.
Book two in the Bookstrings series (aside from the two prequel novellas), Clock Tower Bound is available in print, on Kindle (and Kindle Unlimited), and coming soon to audiobook (and @ChristaDelSorbo's) YouTube Channel (where you can listen free!).

Nothing says true love like a mutual admiration of Nothing says true love like a mutual admiration of books, right? Nine authors, nine stories, more matches than we may ever know. My contribution to the anthology is Turnabout Is Fair Match. One good thing came out of the trauma in Dying to Read: Olemann's Books now has a reputation for having "matchmaking" book clubs. And that's something Imogen Stokes is very interested in--not for herself, of course. She has a grandson to match up, and Olemann's is the place to get it done.
