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 533: A Chat with Chawna Schroeder
byChautona Havig

If you read Illuminary, then you know why I’ve been drumming my fingers for the next book by Chawna Schroeder. EEEP! Listen in and see what’s going on in this one!

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

Illuminary left me eager for more, and after talking to Chawna about the next book in the Septer & Stylus series, I’m even more excited about Perplexity!

Perplexity by Chawna Schroeder

Assemble the clues, dismantle the danger.

Yosarai Patican never wanted to finish her schooling in the Indeli capital, but after several months, she is finally finding her footing . . . until her world is shattered by the unthinkable. Facing loss after loss, she struggles to adjust to a new position and new responsibilities, including the repayment of a massive debt. A debt more easily managed if she can qualify for the elite politico sphere on the upcoming placement exam. Some, however, would do anything to prevent Yosarai from earning one of the coveted positions. Meanwhile, in the northern realm of Egdon, Crown Prince Xander faces an increasingly hostile Parliament. Not only are they questioning the necessity of the monarchy, but they are also demanding an accounting of some mysterious expenditures by the former king. Unless Xander can unearth a reasonable explanation, his coronation may be more than postponed. It may be cancelled—permanently. As old rivalries escalate and hidden threats emerge, both Xander and Yosi must choose their paths wisely, before evil eliminates everyone in its way.

Learn more about Chawna on her WEBSITE and follow her on GoodReads and BookBub.

Don’t miss the original interview about the first book HERE.

What's it about?
When protectors become targets, no one is safe.
Mark created The Agency to shield the innocent—but now an unknown foe fights to assume command. As shadowy threats tighten around Mark and his team, danger erupts on every front: terrorists at sea, betrayal within their ranks, and an enemy who always seems one step ahead.
While a Caribbean cruise turns deadly and secrets unravel in the agency’s halls, one shocking betrayal proves the enemy is closer than anyone imagined. Mark faces the fight of his life—not just for the future of his organization, but for the people he loves most. As faith and romance grow amid the fallout of shattered dreams, the stakes rise higher than ever.
The countdown to the series finale has begun… and survival is anything but guaranteed.
