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!

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 578: A Chat with Carolyn Bourke
byChautona Havig

I did a whole video on dementia in Christian fiction and how we need more not long ago. Now Carolyn Bourke has given us another wonderful addition to the line up in A Beautiful Death.

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

This book shows how people with dementia are still people with love to give and needs. If you loved The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip, I suspect you’ll enjoy this book, too!

A Beautiful Death by Carolyn Bourke

A moving story of resilience, second chances, and the unbreakable bonds of familial love. World-renowned pianist Cassie Brennan faces a devastating diagnosis: rapidly advancing younger-onset dementia threatens to steal her memories and identity. As she grapples with the lonely life she’s always led, an unexpected friendship with newbie journalist Elle Jones offers a glimmer of hope. With time running out and the shadows of dementia closing in, Elle helps Cassie confront her deepest regrets and search for reconciliation. Together, Cassie and Elle embark on a journey of forgiveness and self-discovery, testing the boundaries of friendship and the resilience of the human heart. Bourke weaves a tapestry of emotions that will resonate with readers long after the final page in this heartwarming tale of resilience and humor in the face of dementia, where Cassie’s quirky attitude and indomitable spirit captivate.

Perfect for fans of Sara Brunsvold’s The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip, A Beautiful Death is a testament to the enduring power of love and the indomitable strength of the human spirit.
