Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

Wondering where to start?  (note: this page is randomly updated. If you see something is missing, drop me a line and I’ll be happy to update. I just forget!)

So many of my books are very thoroughly interconnected.  Anything listed under the “Rockland Chronicles” is likely to have familiar characters appear all over the place!  So, if you wondered what order to read them, here you go!  Now, this is just a suggestion.  The only books that NEED to be read in a particular order are listed as their own series.  For example, Aggie’s Inheritance as a series can be read in any order, but the books in the series need to be read sequentially.  Clear as political candidates on debate night?  Good!  Then let’s get started.  *cough*

Rockland Chronicles Timeline One- Intact series (books with asterisks are not yet in print)

Not a Word (Technically, this book both comes after and before the Aggie Series. So… I put it here.)
The Hartfield Mysteries
Blessing Bentley
Noble Pursuits
The Sight Unseen Series (None So Blind etc.)

Discovering Hope
Argosy Junction (Eventually, this will have a sequel which obviously would be next)
Speak Now (Might prefer to read before Advent but not essential.  Tiny spoiler in it but not much of one…)
Advent
Aggie’s Inheritance Series (From the second half of Ready or Not, this follows the same timeline as Past Forward. Ante Up! takes place concurrent with Volume 6)
Past Forward (Takes place on exactly the same timeline as the second half of the first book through the rest of Aggie. It is also concurrent with Front Window)
Diary of a De-cluttering Junkie (Takes place in conjunction with Past Forward 4)
Thirty Days Hath… (Is parallel in one chapter to a section in Volume 3 of Past Forward)
Tarnished Silver
31 Kisses
Operation Posthaste
(no distinct timeline placement)
A Bird Died

Justified Means (Must follow Thirty Days Hath…)
Mismatched (Must follow Justified Means)
Effective Immediately (Must follow Mismatched)
A Forgotten Truth (Must follow Effective Immediately)
Corner Booth
Merri’s Christmas Mission

HearthLand  (Takes place after the last Past Forward–sister series to Past Forward)
The Matchmakers of Holly Circle 
(concurrent with Volumes 1  and 2 of HearthLand)
Carol and the Belles (Concurrent with the end of HearthLand)

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 554: A Chat with Gloriaea
byChautona Havig

I really love a good book with broken people finding redemption. So when I got to chat with Gloriaea about her book, Broken Algorithm, I knew this was going to be right up my alley. Listen in and see why I’m so excited.

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

We chatted about so many things, including the inspiration for the book, her setting–all the things!

Broken Algorithm by Gloriaea

All she wanted was a home…

Brit has moved from one prison to another since she was eight. Now she’s free, and nothing will stop her from getting back her family. Nothing…except the people who tore her life apart.

She didn’t need his help. So why was he everywhere?

Sam finally has his life on track. Working for the Canadian federal police is miles away from his teenage rebellion. Nothing could prepare him for the petite ex-convict with magnetic coffee eyes.

The clock is ticking for Brit’s family reunion and shadowy figures haunt her steps. Will Brit discover the true meaning of home? Or will she lose the family she has sacrificed everything to save?

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

For ages, None So Blind was my favorite book. I un For ages, None So Blind was my favorite book. I understood Ella in a deeper way than most of my characters. BUT... then I wrote Will Not See. And it became suspense rather than women's fiction with a mini-mystery (how did she lose her memories?). But people going after Vikki? Didn't see that coming. Nor did I see a guy waking up with no memories and a murdered wife (the spouse always does it, right?). Sooo... women's fiction to romantic suspense? Not normal, but let's face it. Whenever have I been normal?
Read em in Kindle, paperback, or "free" through Kindle Unlimited! Individually, or in a box set of the complete collection.

Yeah. It's a thing. Which is weird because I rarel Yeah. It's a thing. Which is weird because I rarely call a book by its title.  Past Forward is "Willow." Ready or Not (and the rest) are all "Aggie" (I add 1, 2, 3, 4 etc). None So Blind is "Ella."
The New Cheltenham books are all whatever word changes that year.  So I'll talk about "Stars" or "Ghosts" or "Bells." But if I don't have a title I could put on the cover of the book (even if it changes--rarely but it happens--) I can't even write the first sentence.  It's dericulous.  Um... Ridiculous. Same smell.
Grammar wise, I'd say it's my stupid habit of not bothering to add question marks at the ends of questions.  My poor editors.  I THINK it's because I get interrupted in the middle of the sentence, come back, and forget it was supposed to be a question.  Dont' quote (or question) me on that, though.
If you have a question you want me to answer, leave it in the comments OR... zip me an email at chautona@chautona.com.  I'll try to work them in (and will probably combine those that are really similar.

Reposted from @janelleleonard.author It's time for Reposted from @janelleleonard.author It's time for another WhiteCrown cover reveal!!! The Promise of a Princess, the third and final book in the Royals of Andelar series by Joy Crain, releases November 2026 and is available for preorder now. 
*
Princess Genevieve’s life seems like a dream. She has a loving family, a devoted fiancé, and a future set in stone. But beneath the perfection lies a secret she has guarded for years, one that could shatter everything if it were ever revealed. When an ancient doctrine resurfaces and threatens the very foundation of the monarchy, Genevieve is forced to face a choice that will cost her more than she ever imagined.

DePeaux men love for life. They only ever give their heart away once. Julian knows his father’s oft-quoted words to be true, because his heart belongs to a woman too. A woman who long ago stole his heart, captured beneath the oak tree as they painted and grew up together. But he can never have her. Because another man’s ring lies on her finger.

With time running out and the truth impossible to ignore, Genevieve and Julian are drawn together in ways that challenge everything they have ever believed. In a world bound by tradition and expectation, they must decide if love is worth the risk of losing their future, their duty, and each other.

Preorder your copy today!
