Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

G-

by Chautona Havig · 3 Comments

Gee!  That’s a funny letter!  I got to wondering (yes, I said “got” for a reason there) about what fun words start with G and how many of them I use in writing.  So, here we go, eh?

  • Giblets (self-explanatory)
  • Gizzard (inspired by giblets of course)
  • Guts (ok, is there a trend going here or what?)
  • Grotesque (definitely a trend)
  • Grace (I’ve never been good at staying with trends)
  • Gallop (great fun and good exercise unless paired with consumption.)
  • Gripe (about galloping graceless grotesque giblets, gizzards, and guts)
  • Grippe (la post-nasal drip.  With the wheezing, and the sneezing– name that movie!)
  • Grapple (do you grapple with griping about the grippe?)
  • Gesture (not to be confused with jester, however jesters do gesture…)
  • Grievous (don’t tell me this blog post fits in that one.  You’ll break my heart)
  • Gargantuan (don’t say it.  Do. Not. Say. It.)
  • Griswold (I think I have a character with that as a last name.  If not, I will.  Soon.
  • Gloaming (I now feel like singing about heather and hills)
  • Gabble (wait, it should be up there, shouldn’t it?)
  • Gilderoy (ok, now I feel REALLY stupid.  I knew this one.  Touche, Ms. Rowling)
  • Gilliver (the antithesis to Professor Lockhart)
  • Garbanzo (I’ve BEAN thinking about this one…)
  • Gibbet (which is absolutely unrelated to giblets)
  • Garret  (I don’t recommend keeping your garbanzos in the garret.)
  • Gauche (don’t tell me.  I don’t want to know.)
  • Gnomic (nothing like a gnome.  Just sayin’)
  • Gangster  (Psst… this is more about the mob and less about gangs.  Which makes no sense but it does.)
  • Glorious  (I’ve never been able to think of glorious without thinking of “Gloria” of John&Gloria fame.  Gloria was most definitely Glorious.)
  • Grunge (So, do you think that’s a new style for me?  Should I try it?  What, you think my current look is grungy enough?  Hmph)
  • Garrulous  (how I’m going to feel if I have to do one more word)

Now, aren’t you glad I’m done?  Glad?  Get it?  Get?  WOOT for G.  Wait, I’m not?  FINE

  • Gone.  That’s what I am.  Gone.

    This was by far one of the most entertaining “G” posts yet…
    Thanks for the *G*iggle & *G*rins!

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 572: A Chat with Kari Trumbo
byChautona Havig

Mystery is my absolute favorite genre, so when I heard that Kari Trumbo had taken her Wayside Ranch and spun it off into a mystery series, you know I was excited. Kari? Plus mystery? Listen in and hear why Beneath Still Waters is next on my “must read” list!

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

Okay… mystery that isn’t focused on romance? That’s like this book was tailor-made for me! EEEP!

I love what Kari is doing with this series and now this spin-off. This is gonna be great!

Beneath Still Waters by Kari Trumbo

Fresh out of training and still haunted by a near-fatal shootout, Ferd Kincade retreats to Wayside Ranch to heal.

She expects quiet. Instead, she finds a body. When she discovers a mysterious boat washed ashore on a nearby lake, nothing about the scene makes sense and Ferd can’t walk away. Pulling Piper’s Ridge detective Duke Campose into the investigation, she soon uncovers signs of something far more dangerous than a simple murder.

Someone is hiding a deadly secret.

And they’re willing to kill again to keep it buried.

As the truth points to a ruthless drug operation, Ferd becomes the next target. Now, she’ll need every ounce of her training, and a lot of faith, to survive long enough to bring a killer to justice.

Don’t miss the giveaway that ends September 7th. Books will be shipped to US addresses, but feel free to enter from anywhere and have the book sent to a friend! No purchase necessary! Just click HERE to enter.

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!).

The introduction to the Bookstrings series, Spines The introduction to the Bookstrings series, Spines & Leaves takes you near Joshua Tree National Park and a tiny bookstore desiccating in the heat. But Milton Coleridge and his love of books sees potential--and another kind of love. For someone else. Again. Still, with his trusty parrotlet Atticus (not Finch) by his side, he's turning his business skills in a new, more rewarding direction. Jump into the first Bookstrings novella today. Available in print, on Kindle (and Kindle Unlimited) and audiobook, as well as able to be listened to FREE on YouTube. https://amzn.to/3U2Smtn #affiliatelink

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?

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.
