Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

I Just Have to Share!

by Chautona Havig · 5 Comments

Nicole’s book, A Cliché Christmas, is selling out at Walmart stores all over the country.  I didn’t know what I’d think when I got this book, but I love Christmas (you’d never know that, right?) and was dying to read it.  When I discussed it with Nicole later, she asked, “So, was the first person too awful for you?”
And I remember blinking for a moment before I remembered, “Oh, YEAH!  This is first person!”  I don’t think I’ve ever read first person that was so well done that I got lost in it and forgot that I was reading it.  It wasn’t first person/present tense (which makes my teeth itch) and I know that helped, but I truly believe she has mastered the art of this particular writing style.
As for the rest of this book, here’s a link to my GOODREADS review for those who want a little bit more information.

    It’s not unusual to hear carols playing in our house mid-summer! I’m always ready for Christmas stories.

When the Silence Breaks by Elizabeth Goddard

A deathbed confession. A decades-old secret. A mountain that holds the answers–and danger closing in. When intelligence analyst Sarah Ellison learns of her grandfather’s deathbed confession connected to her brother’s murder, she’s determined to protect her remaining family. After further investigation, she discovers the disclosed information points to a decades-old government secret buried deep in the Cascade Mountains. With this knowledge, she looks for a guide who knows the terrain like the back of their hand. After his father’s death in a tragic mountain accident, former Navy SEAL Ryder Goodwin no longer guides for the family business. At first, Ryder refuses to help Sarah, but he sees the trouble chasing her and can’t stand by while someone brings danger to his small-town mountain community. Ryder and Sarah gear up to climb the mountain in a race against time and a looming storm. When the danger escalates, their search for answers shifts to a survival mission. Their only chance to make it through involves trusting each other and confronting the truth no one wants them to find. This gripping romantic-suspense thriller set in the Pacific Northwest from USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard is a series opener that will sweep you away in a rush of adrenaline.
