Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

New Book, New Giveaway, New Winners: Oh, My!

by Chautona Havig · Leave a Comment

New News!

So, let’s get down to news… er, um, business! What’s this about a new book and a new bonus?  Well, now that NaNoWriMo is DONE, I have New Year’s Revolutions up for pre-order and a bonus in the works!  WOOT.

New Year's RevolutionsYou met him first in A Bird Died.  He made another appearance in The Matchmakers of Holly Circle, and we really got to know Neal Kirkpatrick in Christmas Stalkings (part of the Christmas Lights Collection with authors Vikki Kestell, Cathe Swanson, and April Hayman).

Or did we?  In this combination prequel/sequel, I explored just what makes Neal tick and gave, well, “the rest of the story.”

I’ll let you in on a little secret.  The book isn’t done yet!  I just got done transcribing my notes and not only is this book not done, um… I’m afraid it might be a LONG one.  Write fast, Chautona!  EEEP!  But really, I wanted this book out for New Year’s Eve, and I’m going to do it.  Ever wondered about those gifts at the end of Stalkings?  Mmmmwaaahaha.  Here are a few things the Launch Team had to say about “the other perspective” on those.

“So cool! It was hilarious! Can’t wait to read it all!” ~Darlene

“Perfection. Seriously, perfection. LOVE!!!”  ~Lucinda

… and my personal favorite:

” I simply will go nuts if we don’t get this book soon!”  ~Faith

Episode 484: A Chat with Taylor S Newport
byChautona Havig

The one-year anniversary for book one of the Dauntless Defenders is TODAY! Listen in to my chat with Taylor S. Newport and learn all about the series and the latest in it, No Time to Die.

The Dauntless Defenders series novels do not stand alone. Be sure to read the first book first.

By the time we got done talking about these books, I was ready to forget the book I NEEDED to work on and just read for a few days. Can you blame me?

No Time to Die by Taylor S Newport

The enemy believes the battle is nearly over, but he’s just getting started.

Sector 17 has tried to silence the Ghost of Oz, but he doesn’t back down. Back on the hunt, Tyler Reid uncovers chilling truths that challenge everything he knows about his enemy and the woman who works for them. Caught between protecting a Russian heiress and the job she has to do, Tyler starts to question who he can rely on.

Alexandra “Alex” Romanova has been told who she is, but fragmented memories hint at a past she’s reluctant to reclaim—a past far darker than what she remembers. When Tyler offers her a chance to escape her cruel boss at Sector 17, the plight of young recruits being turned into killers weighs heavily on her conscience. She’s determined to give them the same freedom she’s found, but doesn’t realize that in doing so she has put them all at risk.

As the head of Sector 17 clings to power, Tyler and Alex are caught in the middle of a deadly war for lives, freedom, and revenge. With enemies closing in on all sides, they can’t save everyone. The stakes are higher than ever—there is no time to die.

Don’t miss book three on January 23, 2026.

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

Bookish Gratitude Day 7: Mind scrambling, decision Bookish Gratitude Day 7: Mind scrambling, decision-fatigue inducing variety. Keeps things hopping.  So as much as I ached to start Braving Strange Waters by @authorsarahhanks , I was responsible and continued the mystery I HAVE BEEN LOVING and while not done (almost), I think Ive proven my theories right. 
Grateful for variety!

What makes an office manager go "rogue" and get al What makes an office manager go "rogue" and get all "agent-ified?" Danger to their best agent's girlfriend, that's what. She doens't know what she's doing (the girlfriend knows more!), and she's terrified they're one blink away from certain death, but if sheer force of will can keep Erika alive, well... they've got a fighting chance.
Book 5 of the Agency file is available FREE, chapter by chapter on YouTube AND... after 2/28/25 also available in one full-length video.  Listen in individual chapters to keep easy track of where you are or in one long chunk so you don't have to keep moving to the next. Whichever works best for you!
