Release of Deepest Roots of the Heart

by Chautona Havig · 5 Comments

DROTHcoversmToday’s the day!  Deepest Roots of the Heart has been released!  I am so excited!  After being certain I would never consider publishing traditionally,  Waterfall Press changed my mind last April.  Nine months later (the analogy of giving birth to a book just took on a whole new meaning), here we are!  Waterfall Press has done an astounding job of producing a quality book that I am proud of.  They went all out to ensure that I was completely comfortable and satisfied throughout the entire process, something I don’t know all publishers would be so conscientious about.  From the repeated changes I wanted in the book (they got a completely unedited rough draft, poor souls), to the back copy that I rejected repeatedly, to the book cover (one thing I’m a little fanatical about), they kept working with me until I was thrilled.  They even got the very audio narrator that I had found and really wanted for this book. Thom Rivera is FABULOUS!  I truly feel spoiled by the entire Waterfall team.  I’d like to take a moment now to thank Tammy for seeing value in my work and asking me to sign on.  I’d also like to thank Dan, Ben, and Tammy for putting up with my hundreds of questions and random emails over the past few months.  You’ve been more than gracious, and I appreciate it.

    I am smelling a romance with Angelina. I am waiting for lindon to do dirt on the couple. I am already in love with Daddy darling. He is a humble and fair man. I am not to far in yet but I am enjoying the book very much. I am celebrating the possibility of a longer relationship with this being a trilogy.

    For some reason I just received this email so I have no entries, but your writing is reward enough.
    Keep writing, and do not forget dear Ralph. ( I think I am becoming a cougar with his, so Annie had better watch it.)

Episode 559: A Chat with Lisa Phillips
byChautona Havig

One of my favorite series is Lisa Phillips’ Brand of Justice. Listen in as we talk about the final book (Psst… it can be read as a stand alone) in this sixteen-book series!

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

I’ve been holding out on finishing the series since I finished book three. IT’s time. So once we got done talking, I loaded up the next book on my phone and wheeeeeee! here we go!

Now Until Forever by Lisa Phillips

**The Epic Stand-alone Finale**

Born into a legacy, Eliana must find her own brand of justice.

After moving to Chicago to work at the mysterious Shrine museum, Eliana is determined to uncover the family secrets she’s never been told. When she stumbles upon her first ever dead body, everyone around her believes she should try and solve the murder. But taking cases isn’t what she came here for. Despite her plans, things are about to turn far more sinister, and the path she’s on seems determined to drag her back into a nightmare. Chicago PD Officer Carlos Ryson was born into a legacy of his own. He’s here to look for his missing sister, Luci, and wants to enlist Eliana’s help. This is a family problem, and only family working together can solve it. But Eliana has never forgotten the way Carlos shredded her heart. If he wants them to team up, he’ll have to confront the damage he did and find a way to repair it. While the city around them descends into a chaos that resembles the end times, someone has seized the opportunity to get what they want from the Shrine. Only Eliana stands in their way, but if she’s going to figure this out she’ll need to trust that the people around her have her back. Before it’s too late. Now Until Forever is the stand-alone finale to the Brand of Justice series, and is set in the near-future. It features a happily ever after romance mixed with high-stakes suspense in this gripping crime fiction story.
