Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

Meet My Launch Team

This fabulous group of gals works with me to help spread the word about new releases, bonuses, and other exciting news.  I can’t tell you how grateful I am for all of them.  So, enough of me and more about:

Being a part of a launch team isn’t easy work. These ladies share quote images, blog posts, Facebook posts, bonus options, and giveaways.  But that’s only the beginning.  They pray for one another, encourage one another, and hold me up when I feel like I can’t write another word.

They’ve saved you all from my mad ideas (killing off Chad was one), and they urge me to keep going when I have a good one. I’ve met a couple of them and look forward to meeting more.  And, since they hail from all over the world, I may be climbing aboard planes to New Zealand and Ireland to make that happen.  It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it, right?

Many of these ladies have their own blogs or businesses, and I’m excited to share more about those with you. From book reviewers to essential oils and marketers–my gals hail from all walks of life.

So, enough of me and more about:

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Bonus Episode: A Chat with Becca Wierwille
byChautona Havig

I can’t be the only person who cut her reading teeth on mysteries, and author Becca Wierwille has a great series for young readers with THREE new books coming out. Listen in and learn all about the new Scout & Barnaby books AND how you can get them early!

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

Don’t miss Becca’s Kickstarter! You only have a couple of days left! Find that HERE!

Also, don’t miss the first interview about this series HERE.

Scout & Barnaby Series by Becca Wierwille

The Scout and Barnaby Mysteries are funny, heartwarming Christian chapter books for kids ages 6-10 by award-winning children’s author Becca Wierwille. These lightly illustrated mysteries star a girl named Scout and her unusually perceptive dog, Barnaby. They team up to solve mysteries at a Christian wilderness camp using her love of big words and his super sniffer.

The series begins when Barnaby eats Scout’s dictionary—and after that, he can understand words!

Written as a bridge between chapter books and longer middle grade works, these books combine fun whodunit mystery elements with faith and humor. Books feature a larger font for emerging readers, stay short at approximately 15,000 words, and include illustrations by award-winning illustrator Brad Smith.

This campaign is not just for one book, but for the next THREE books in the Scout and Barnaby Mysteries (books 4-6)!

Learn more about Becca on her WEBSITE and follow her on GoodReads and BookBub.

And listen to her PODCAST HERE.
