Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

Strange Inspirations

by Chautona Havig · 9 Comments

Confession: About 10 years ago, I heard the Brothers Four singing “Night Before Boy with quote from Night Before ChristmasChristmas” and it sparked an idea I’d never heard before. For fun, this silly mom, who never “did” Santa with her kids, began writing a “Santa story.” So… because it is pure fantasy–with no Christian basis other than you can trace the modern idea of Santa back to St. Nicholas who was a different person altogether, I’ve started a separate page for it. I just wanted to share for those who enjoy a fun Santa story now and then.

This fun little story is called Moore’s Code, and you can learn more HERE. I’ve also set up a website for it but haven’t added a lot to it yet. Be sure to book mark it as I’ll be adding to it from time to time.

      Not yet! When we finished 6, we thought we should do the whole volume so people just starting could get caught up! 🙂

    Can’t wait for seven, downloaded Volume one to have it all in one place. I tend to reread your books. The character I’m really interested in is Harlan, he’s so devoted to his uncle but is conflicted.

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 593: A Chat with Thomas Goodman
byChautona Havig

The best stories have a strong ring of truth. So when I heard about Through Many Dangers by Thomas Goodman… I knew I wanted to know more. Listen in and learn about the “pistol packin’ preacher.”

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

And don’t miss The Last Man. You’ll regret it if you do!

Through Many Dangers by Thomas Goodman

“Thomas Goodman again shows why he is one of the finest historical fiction authors we have. His vision of East Texas, both the place and the people, is as accurate as it is spellbinding.” —James Wade, Western Heritage Award-winning author ofNarrow the Road Inspired by a remarkable true story,Through Many Dangerstakes readers to 1905 East Texas, where a young preacher arrives to lead a church—and finds himself drawn into a war for the soul of a town. Rick Burleson expects his first pastorate in the timber boomtown of Groveton to test his preaching. He does not expect murder, illegal whiskey, and a criminal operation protected by a corrupt sheriff, an indebted lumber baron, and a cold-blooded enforcer known as the Blade. When Rick begins challenging the lawlessness from his pulpit, threats turn to violence. His church and home become targets. The danger reaches his congregation, his wife, Sarah, and their children. Rick believes in prayer, patience, and the rule of law. But what happens when the law refuses to act? Soon the young Methodist preacher is carrying a holstered Colt and setting the loaded pistol on his pulpit every Sunday. Yet possessing a gun is one thing. Deciding whether he has the resolve to use it is another. Sarah, his steady and clear-eyed wife, faces the danger with him as the threats close around their family. Through Many Dangers is a historical crime novel of corruption, courage, marriage, and faith tested under fire. When evil has taken hold of a town, how long can good people wait for someone else to stop it?

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.
