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 592: A Chat with Heidi Main
byChautona Havig

A man, a woman, and a baby walk into some mistletoe–or something. Listen in as I chat with Heidi Main about her “society” meets the world of ranching, where real life collide in a Christmas novel, The Mistletoe Baby.

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

I think my favorite part is how Heidi shows that just because you’ve lived the party side of a party, that doesn’t mean you know what goes into creating and executing that party plan!

The Mistletoe Baby by Heidi Main

They both long for a true home.Can the holidays bring opposites together? Saving his family’s Texas ranch is former bull rider Reggie Evermore’s Christmas wish. And he’s sure socialite Natalie Patterson can help him plan the perfect event to bring in cash. Pregnant, recently divorced and ready to prove her independence, Natalie needs a paycheck and a place to stay. So she accepts Reggie’s job offer. But planning a fundraiser is harder than attending them! When Reggie learns the truth, he’s less than happy. Can they work through their differences to transform the ranch and give love a chance to grow? From Love Inspired: Uplifting stories of faith, forgiveness and hope.

Learn more on Heidi’s WEBSITE and follow on GoodReads and BookBub.

Reposted from @artisticnobody1996 Meet Abbigayl “A Reposted from @artisticnobody1996 Meet Abbigayl “Abbi” Byrne. ❄️🏰

At twenty-six, Abbi would much rather spend Christmas surrounded by history and art than dealing with another holiday full of family expectations.

So when she gets the chance to spend Christmas at Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, it feels like the perfect escape.

Snow. A magnificent castle. A celebration of Christmases past.

What could possibly go wrong?

Or perhaps the better question is…

**Who might she find there?** 👻❤️

*The Ghost of Christmas…* 
A Christian Christmas romance where love, faith, history, and a little Christmas magic collide.
