Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

Ready or Not! Here 2013 Comes!

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.

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.
