Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

Disclosure and Policies

If you have questions about things like guest posting or the kinds of links I share, this disclosure and policies page should help with those kinds of questions.

Disclosure: Some links on this website may be affiliate links, and as such, I may receive compensation from the retailer indicated for linking to their product.

Note:  I DO NOT link to products that I do not recommend. I may mention them, but if there is no link, I either forgot or there is a reason I chose not to recommend it.

Policies

If you’re curious about guest posting, commenting, email, or other policies, you’ll find them here. I tried to keep them simple, straightforward, and free of legalese.

Commenting:

Comments are not only welcome on this site, they’re encouraged on every post.  If you see that comments aren’t turned on for a particular post, please zip me an email at [email protected]. I’ll be happy to take a look at it.

That said, I do have a couple of limitations.  Keep it clean (no foul language or smutty/violent word pictures), and friendly.  Feel free to disagree with another commenter, but do not attack the person.  Be kind.

Email:

I have two email categories to address.  First.  When you email me, I USUALLY get right back to you.  If I have a book releasing soon (or if I’ve decided to do something crazy like add filters that only end up losing all the good emails and keeping the extraneous), it might take a day or a week.  But most of the time, it’s within 24 hours.

And, when you share your email with me (either by direct emailing or through my newsletter), that email is kept safe.  I do not share it, even with people who I know should have it without your permission.

Advertising:

I only accept very limited amounts of advertising at a time and only things directly related to this site. So Christian fiction authors are welcome to submit their book, a 1-3  line synopsis, and request a spot in my blog sidebar.  I will only accept one at a time and only those books that I think my readership will enjoy.

Guest Posts:

I absolutely welcome guest posts! Suggested ideas are:

  • Authors- Posts about your writing process on a particular book, character reviews, your dream review, your research on a particular book, why you write Christian fiction, et cetera are all welcome.
  • Guest Bloggers Welcom

    Reviewers- Love to review books but don’t want the hassle of a website?  Would you like to get your feet wet but aren’t sure?  Want to be on a launch team but you don’t have time for regular blogging?  Submit your book review proposal to me.  Tell me the book, the Amazon-equivalent star rating (loved, liked, okay, didn’t like, hated) and we’ll see what we can do!

  • Christian Living-  I’ll consider any topics related to the Christian life and practical applications for the reader to apply. I do require that distinction be made between Biblical principles and the methods of applying them. Posts elevating method over principle (requiring the wearing of purple socks over the need to keep your feet warm, so to speak) will not be accepted as written.
  • The Christian fiction industry- Any posts about Christian fiction and the direction of the industry that would be interesting and relevant to readers rather than just other authors would be perfect.

Please use this form to submit your guest post proposal:

[contact-form to=’[email protected]’ subject=’Guest Post Proposal’][contact-field label=’Name’ type=’name’ required=’1’/][contact-field label=’Email’ type=’email’ required=’1’/][contact-field label=’Website’ type=’url’/][contact-field label=’Comment’ type=’textarea’ required=’1’/][/contact-form]

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 579: A Chat with Lauren Smyth
byChautona Havig

Dystopian in the desert? Sign me up! Seriously, listen in while Lauren Smyth and I chat all things “glowy” in the desert!

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

Not a lot of people write books about the boring Mojave Desert. When they do, I take note. Especially when it’s a super-cool dystopian delight! EEEP!

All That Glows by Lauren Smyth

The apocalypse didn’t take everyone. It just took us. Ever since the rain turned green, Kyrie’s world has been bathed in glowing dust. She packs it into old mascara tubes and sells it as makeup alongside dried cacti, threadbare blankets, and long-expired canned food. There’s not much else to do when everyone outside Kyrie’s small town in the Mojave Desert died from the plague-bearing rain ten years ago. Everyone—except the man in the rubber mask. He’s on the dangerous side of the fence, huffing infected air like it’s nothing, babbling to Kyrie about college and umbrellas and yogurt and everything else that disappeared the day it rained. He doesn’t seem to know that the world ended, and he has no explanation for how he survived the apocalypse. But Kyrie doesn’t believe in ghosts. She can’t trust him, but he’s right about one thing: Towns without secrets aren’t surrounded by chain-link fences. And chain-link fences won’t keep out the plague forever.

Learn more on Lauren’s WEBSITE and follow on GoodReads and BookBub.
