Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

The Ever After Mysteries

Everyone loves a fairy tale. Timeless stories, ordinary people, extraordinary events.  But what happens if those events lead to a not-so-happily ever after?

Seven fairy tales retold in unusual ways.  They all occur during the “Roaring 20s” and include mysteries. We call them, “The Ever After Mysteries.”

The Last Gasp- HavigThe Last Gasp by Chautona Havig

A cigarillo girl at one of the finest theaters in town, Lucinda Ashton has dreams that don’t include the movie industry.

At the pinnacle of his Hollywood career, Garrison Prince’s reign ends tonight.

So, when gunshots ring out just as intermission begins, Lucinda finds herself smack-dab in the middle of a brouhaha that leaves three dead, and no one has a clue why.

The Last Gasp blends “Cinderella” with murder and enough crime and story clues to keep you on the edge of your seat.

a giant murder laineA Giant Murder by Marji Laine

Would you like a shot of… death with that, sir?

Josephine Jacobs was just doing her job, serving at an exclusive party, so why is she now being accused of shooting TG Taggert?

With her long-time friend, Office Porter O’Brien, Josie sets out to clear her name and find out who really killed “the giant,” and clear her name.

A Giant Murder offers a retelling of “Jack and the Beanstalk” with enough clues and suspects to keep you looking over your shoulder. We’d recommend Kevlar… but it hasn’t been invented yet!

When the Pilot Falls- haymanWhen the Pilot Falls by April Hayman

In 1923, there aren’t many pilots, but Willie Labeau didn’t let that stop… her.

She has a second chance at a fabulous job doing what she loves. There’s just one caveat. No questions about her new boss’ past. From anyone. Ever.

Hugh Taylor has secrets that he’s not willing to share with anyone, but can he trust Willie to keep her word and leave his past where it belongs?  In the past?

When the Pilot Falls offers a retelling of “East of the Sun, West of the Moon” that will keep you gripped to the edge of your seat as you watch hearts soar and daring dos.

Murder at the Empire SwansonMurder at the Empire by Cathe Swanson

Some girls want fast lives in speakeasies, dripping with ropes of pearls.

Gayle Wells just wants a car—oh, and to be a movie palace organist in Chicago.

As the newest organist at the Empire Theater in Chicago, she’s surrounded by fabulous art and well on her way to earning that car.

Are a few pieces of art really enough motive for the string of murders?

Murder at the Empire offers a retelling of “The Nightingale” that blends with murder with enough crime and story clues to keep you on the edge of your seat.

The Lost Dutchman's Secret- JonesThe Lost Dutchman’s Secret by Rebekah Jones

There’s a deadly secret in them thar hills—and gold, or so they say.

When her father says he needs money to pay off a local man, Dorothy Hodges doesn’t know what she’s supposed to do. After all, it’s not like she can spin gold out of thin air.

In this twist on Rumplestilskin and the legend of the Lost Dutchman Mine in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona, Rebekah Jones blends mystery, intrigue, and… murder?

Find out in The Lost Dutchman’s Secret.

Silencing the Siren- BarelaSilencing the Siren by Denise Barela

Andrew Grayson thought he had everything… until he met her.

She’s just a Coney Island freak show exhibit–or is there more to Annabelle Thompson than the sweet girl in a wheelchair?

He loves her, but she’s gone, and Andrew doesn’t know if he is ready to believe she’s really dead.

Silencing the Siren offers a retelling of “The Little Mermaid” that will keep you gripped to the edge of your seat as you watch the story unfold.

Slashed Canvas- TolsmaSlashed Canvas by Liz Tolsma

Held prisoner by all she’s lost, Katarina’s about to lose all she has.

After Grand Duchess Katarina Volstova finds her daughters and their nanny missing, the loss overshadows the grief she’s been living in since her escape from the Russian revolution. A painting at the Louvre may just hold the key to finding the kidnapper before she never sees her girls again.

Slashed Canvas offers a retelling of The Lost Princess that mingles self-centered grief, spoiled little girls, and proof that nothing will stop a mother from saving her children.

The Ever After Mysteries begin releasing in July 2021

Preorder your copies today for the best price and stay tuned for information on all the bonus perks that come with preordering! We’re sure you’ll love all of these happily – not – so – ever- after mysteries!

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 217: A Chat with Biblical Fiction Author, Terry Garner
byChautona Havig

Terry Garner joined me tonight to chat about his fascinating Biblical Fiction series, Magi Journey. Starting way back in Assyria, through Babylon, and into Persia, the series chronicles two timelines–first that of the Israelite kings, and then of a fascinating family back in Persia… Listen in to see the hope this Magi family found in Scripture and how it led them to Bethlehem. 

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

This isn’t just another “traveling to Bethlehem with gold” story of the Magi. No, Terry Garner links the Israelite kings from Ahaz through the destruction of the temple and into captivity with a family who discovers that God has promised redemption for those outside Israel as well. Follow a physical and a faith journey across the ages all the way to the hope of an age.

With extensive and meticulous research, Terry Garner looks at Scripture and compares it with historical secular accounts. Even more exciting, however, are the things he discovered along the way. He talks about Jewish historians discounting Scriptural accounts of historical events to explain away the supernatural as if God Almighty… isn’t!

And then, Terry explains how he’s also writing a nonfiction book to help readers pull all the pieces from Scripture and see what God has promised us… so that we may know His plans. I’m excited about that book, but I confess, learning he’s working on a spinoff of the Magi series excited me even more. EEEP!

Terry Garner has all his books on sale right now!

The paperbacks are on sale for 9.95 and the box set (also available on Kindle Unlimited) is on sale for 4.99!

Magi Journey by Terry Garner

A sweeping historical saga from the courts of Tiglath-Piliser III in Assyria to the sleepy town of Bethlehem. History is seen through the eyes of the Magi as they journey from 734 BC to -0- AD.

Explore with the Magi the prophecies of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Daniel. Witness God’s judgment on Israel, Assyria, and Babylon. And rejoice in the redemption of Israel and the coming of the Messiah.

Join the Magi as they answer the question that is critical to every man and woman, “Who Is This Messiah?”
