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)

Episode 57: A Chat with Women's Fiction Author Cynthia Ruchti
by Chautona Havig

One of the best ways to temper the heaviness of a book dealing with hard subjects is the judicious use of humor.  Cynthia Ruchti is a new author to me (forgive my stupidity, won’t you?) but the brilliant use of humor to open this novel set up a beautiful way to see the personality of a character before her world was turned upside down–genius.

Facing the Dawn should be on every women’s fiction lover’s “next to read” list or at the top of the tottering TBR piles.

This is one of my favorite books I've ever written This is one of my favorite books I've ever written.  I spent a lot of time watching, processing, studying, and then using fiction to show the damage we as the church do when we elevate our method of serving the Lord over the PRINCIPLE of service in general.  After seeing family after family slaughtered by unrealistic expectations that weren't Biblically mandated, the Argosy family was born.  They just never knew what was coming when Matt appeared, ready to embrace their world and shake it up at the same time.
