Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

Ready or Not! Here 2013 Comes!

by Chautona Havig · 16 Comments

justified means coverWe’re getting close on so many projects!  It’s unreal!  I’m absolutely amazed at how much is coming in such a short time!  What’s with the exclamation points!  I feel like I’m in Jr. High!  All I need to do is italicize everything and man!!!!  😉

This week Deceptive Appearances got a new title.  WOOHOO for Justified Means!  It’s in the hands of the editor/proofer as we speak!  So, any day now, it’ll be available!  I’m working on the trailer, the cover, getting the formatting done, and it’s so fun!

As I work on that, I also work on Past Forward.  Yes, episode 22 is almost there.  After working on it, I’ve been craving brownies, ice cream, and canned cherries.  I want to make a beautiful sheer blue dress for someone. I suddenly “get” the idea of diaphanous fabrics, candlelight, and Aiden Cox.  Just sayin’.

    Downloaded the book.

    Thank you for offering so many of your books for free!

    Are any of your books stand-alone stories, so I can start reading them while I await the day I fill in all remaining gaps of the various series? (Hate to wait for the next book in a series to be released – I’d rather wait until I get them all before I start! 😀 )

      Carol,

      Most of my books can stand alone. They involve others from other books, but more of a “Oh, there is so and so” rather than a continuation of that person’s story.

      If you want a timeline “order” you’d want to start with Manuscript for Murder.

      However, I would start with Discovering Hope. It is chronologically ALMOST the very first thing and stands alone. Hope is mentioned a couple of times in the next book I’d recommend, Argosy Junction.

      After that, I’d probably go with Noble Pursuits or the Aggie Series.

      Additionally, the two Christmas books, 31 Kisses and Advent also are fairly close to being stand-alone books as well. (A few characters are mentioned, but only briefly and I think mostly in Advent… and characters that haven’t been introduced yet in publication so it won’t matter anyway! 🙂

      Hope that helps!

      Also! If you enjoy Medieval Fantasy, the Annals of Wynnewood series is officially ended. That said, a companion series might be forthcoming.

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 558: A Chat with Felicia Hurd
byChautona Havig

Because Fiction is a celebration of fiction, but when I had the chance to chat with Felicia Hurd, I couldn’t resist. Listen in and see why Count It All Joy is the first (and possibly only) nonfiction book we’ll feature here.

People often ask why we go through hard things, but hearing others’ stories often helps us learn and grow.

Count It All Joy by Felicia Hurd

Count it all joy! Have you heard these words before? Is that even possible? How can you count it all joy when life’s challenges are coming at you, often one right after another, before you have time to recover from the challenge before? You may have heard the saying, “count it all joy,” in church for many years. While the phrase can be difficult to grasp the concept, it is possible in God’s timing and strength. In Count It All Joy, you will see how first-time author Felicia A. Hurd reveals her account of trials and challenges that shook and eventually strengthened Felicia’s faith. On this faith journey, from not trusting God to trusting God and studying His Word, Felicia has learned to count it all joy, even during trials, while learning to thank God in advance of the outcome, even if Felicia disagree with the outcome. God is a good Father, and Felicia has come to trust and believe that God knows what is needed and when. Welcome to the journey of Count It All Joy ~ Including the Broken Pieces
