Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

What Do YOU Think I Should Do about My Serial Novels?

by Chautona Havig · 51 Comments

“How soon can you get Past Forward ready for publication?”

Nothing strikes fear in my heart like Ashley asking me when I can get something done.  You see, it usually means I need to do it yesterday, and it usually means a lot of work.

It also usually means a lot of success.

And it was.

It’s also a whole ton of work.

My serial novels began in 2012. First, there were six VOLUMES of Past Forward— twenty-eight episodes. Seven episodes of De-Cluttering Junkie followed.  And six more VOLUMES of HearthLand came after that.  That’s another thirty-six episodes! And then came The Vintage Wren.

Guess what?  Ashley didn’t want me to do it anymore, but I’d kind of made my serial novels my… “thing. So, I planned my new one.  A simple plan. One episode a week for 52 weeks.  A Year of Cassie.

But I got busier–and busier.  And I kept slowing down.  And almost two years later, I’m down to… yeah.  I have nine weeks under my belt.  Not enough.

So, back in August, I began sending out installments in my newsletter each week. And that kept me up.  Except for a short hiatus during a trip and just after, I’ve been on track with it each week.  And I love it.  I do.

There’s just one problem.

I’m not sure everyone else does.

What Do YOU Think I Should Do about My Serial Novels?

As it works right now, each Wednesday about a chapter’s worth of the story goes out to my entire newsletter list each week. I try not to put any other news in it, but sometimes I have to.  And that means that those who don’t read the serial novel don’t get that news.

So… I’m wondering how you feel about me making the serial novels, The Vintage Wren right now, an “opt-in.”  It would be a lot like the blog post emails–if you choose to get the serial novel installments emailed to you, you do.  If you don’t sign up just for them, then you won’t get that email each week.

If the widget doesn’t show up below, please click HERE.

I even created a little poll to get your .02 on the issue.  Would you like to be able to opt-in (or not!) for the serial novels or do you just want me to keep things as they are?

    I would love to get series(es?) piece by piece! Unfortunately, I am not clear about how to make that happen. Blog? Newsletter? Email? So many threads, so little understanding on my part! I want to be signed up for whatever gets me those bread crumbs piece by piece.

    I love getting the Cassie chapters each week (Sometimes I think it’s torture to have to wait a whole week for the next one, but I also love that it makes me savor the book instead of reading it all in one day). But I understand how some people feel about their inboxes getting swamped with more than they can handle so I voted for opt-in.

    I like the opt-in option because right now, I’m missing all the news because I’ve not the time to read The Vintage Wren and so my Chautona emails are piling up. I don’t want to open them until I can sit and read The Vintage Wren. So if the series was in its own email I wouldn’t be missing out on the news too! My .02 for what its worth! Love your weekly series!! It was Past Forward that got me hooked on you as an author! And I’ve introduced so many to you thru your serials!

    I voted no because I enjoy the way it is now. I’m ok with the opt – in choice- as long as I DON’T MISS a week. The serial installments remind me of the Sunday School take home papers we used to get with a installment serials each week. (maybe I am showing my age there 🙁 The only thing I don’t like about serial books . . . is WAITING for the next one!

      I feel your pain on the waiting. I remember Sunday School papers, too– Landers, California in the 1980s!

      You would still receive them each week, but those who didn’t want the installments would not. They’d only get the other news as it went out.

    I would really have a whole book to read at once rather than stretched out over a period of time. I’m liable to lose a week, forget about what happened last, or just want to know what happened. I really, really, love your books and the characters are so real in all of them. But my opinion is, NO More Serials

      I feel for you. I do. I prefer it myself, but it has been popular. So, I’ve done it this way to get it out faster. It’s a compromise between none (and I so love to give away books) and trying to bang out a full episode every week AND still write books. Not so easy. I think opt-in will save people like you the hassle of emails that aren’t something you’d like. And when the volumes release, you can just read the whole book then! 🙂

      Oh, I would not stop. Ashley has tried, but I kind of branded myself as the “free serial” gal, and I’d like to keep that commitment. So, as long as I can, I will. Just making sure I get it to ONLY those who want them. 🙂

    If it’s less work for you, I’d go with “opt-in” option. Could you put the “news” at the beginning of the email? That way, those who don’t want the serial, can still get the news easily and you don’t have to send out two different things.

    Reply
    • Chautona Havig says

      December 21, 2017 at 2:46 am

      I’d say it’s less work for readers who don’t want the serials. They just wouldn’t get them so they wouldn’t have to open to see if they want it OR wouldn’t miss out on something I just tacked on for ease. 🙂

      That’s what I was thinking. Right now it’s almost 50/50 but so many have said they said no but don’t care as long as they get them… so I’m suspecting it’s going to be an opt-in option. 🙂

      I feel your pain. I do. I just feel bad for those who don’t read it. More stuff in their inbox means a greater chance they unsubscribe altogether. And while I don’t want anyone to be subscribed that doesn’t WANT the newsletter, if we can keep them with just that change, I figured I should ask and see if it’s a good idea.

      Technically, whichever way we go things will work the same. The emails will go to your email if you “opt in” by checking a box once. Otherwise, you wouldn’t get them. But I’m still undecided. So hard to know the best thing for everyone.

    Chautona, I love seeing weekly episodes in email. I do t always have time to visit your blog, or open my kindle app, and having it in email lets me keep up. You are up there with my favorite authors, so whatever you do I’ll still keep reading my “sister city author”

      Never fear! Even if we do an opt-in, it’s just a matter of checking a box once and then getting the emails as usual. BUT… those who DON’T want them each week won’t get them. 🙂

    I voted no because I like it the way it is. I like getting the Cassie update each week. I’m horrible with change. I read them when they come and then put them in a special file so I can go back and read them all together when you’re done. Which ever works for you as long as I keep getting them. Thank You for your hard work.

      Nothing would change, I promise. You’d just have to check a box once to ensure that nothing changed. 🙂 And, if you missed one, you could still email me for it. I often send out ones that someone’s spam filter ate or delete monster devoured. 🙂

      I voted no on the opt in but like others, I’ll follow either way. 🙂 My only opinionated vote is not to stop doing serials altogether! I don’t love them all the same amount (Willow’s is hands down my favorite), but when I really enjoy one it’s delightful to have so MUCH to read, even if it takes awhile. Six volumes for one book is a huge treat. 😀

    I loved the other serial novels but this one, not so much. I think it is because of the email format plus the fact that it has taken so long to wait between installments. I am a “jump in and read it all now” kind of person. I would prefer to opt in or out as long as I still get your other emails. Love your books!!

      I think that’s why I need to make this an opt-in. I hope you enjoy the novels later when they’re done. Be sure to let me know when you’d like to read all of January in one sitting. I’ll zip it to you. 🙂

Episode 206: A Chat with Lisa Phillips about Her New Spin-off Series
byChautona Havig

Fans of Lisa Phillips’ Last Chance County series are doing happy dances following the release of an exciting new spin-off series, Last Chance Fire and Rescue. Expired Return brings back a few favorite characters and kicks off another of Sunrise Publishing’s author/mentor led fiction seasons! Listen in to find out what happens when an author brings back a guy she dropped a building on a couple of books back…

When Fans Want More Exciting Stories, Smart Authors Listen and Deliver!

Let’s face it. Authors might SOMETIMES be “done” with a series, but readers often want more… indefinitely. Well, with the brilliance of Sunrise Publishing’s mentor model, authors get to collaborate with authors they trust to do their “worlds” proud while still having time to write new, exciting things as well. And some of the Sunrise lead authors even write in the spin-off series–like Lisa Phillips and Trisha Goyer!

This new Last Chance County series promises everything we love about Lisa Phillips’ world–danger, intrigue, heart-stopping suspense, drama… you know… all the feels. But in addition to her own release, Expired Return, this series also introduces us to new authors who have been carefully vetted and selected to ensure they do justice to Lisa’s Last Chance characters. I, for one, can’t wait to check it all out.

Lisa and I chatted about what she plans for the series,Lisa hinted about a possible super-secret reveal coming soon, and I even poked her with the idea of a Last Chance Christmas.

Help me convince them on that, will ya?

But this new book… Whoa…

Expired Return by Lisa Phillips

Pepper stood up. “How dare you.” She could spit fire at him right now. She’d loved and supported Victory since the day she was born. “You know nothing about me.”

“What’s this?”

Pepper whirled around at that voice. Heart. Breaking. She loved that gruff, commanding voice more than anything else in the world.

He wore a look a lot like Aiden’s. Blank, which she knew—or hoped—had to do with protecting his heart because he still cared for her. Except he probably hated her.

Donaldson sat back in his chair. “Allen.”

Former police officer Allen Frees had both hands on the wheels of his chair. He wore a fire department uniform of slacks and a white shirt. Emblems. A badge. His life of service hadn’t ended when he landed in that chair after a building blew up over his head.

As far as she’d been able to tell, it barely slowed him down.

She’ll give everything to protect her family.

He always knew she was the one.

Veterinary tech Pepper Miller lives a quiet life in Last Chance County. She’s watching her niece until her sister shows up…if she ever does. When Victory’s father demands he take over her care, Pepper knows something has gone wrong. With a new drug in town, and her sister embroiled in a dangerous bargain, it’s up to Pepper to protect the people she loves.

Even if it costs every secret she’s ever kept.

Fire Department liaison Allen Frees lives with the injuries he sustained as a police officer in a raid gone wrong. He’s put his life back together but getting the truck crew and engine squad to succeed might be his toughest assignment yet. When Victory is nearly kidnapped at a community event, Allen steps in to help Pepper keep her niece safe. The one thing he couldn’t fix was the love he lost, but he isn’t going to let Pepper walk away this time.

No matter what walls he has to break down.

Last Chance County returns in this blazing new series from Sunrise Publishing.

Reposted from @courtneywalsh MY PHONY VALENTINE is Reposted from @courtneywalsh MY PHONY VALENTINE is officially available in e-book, paperback and in #kindleunlimited ♥️♥️

Treat yourself to this swoony, sweet romance! 

ABOUT THE BOOK:

A chance meeting. A hunky hockey player. A fake romance.
Hardly an ordinary day in the life of Poppy Hart.

My days usually consist of agonizing over my failing restaurant, worrying about my mountain of debt and nursing my broken heart.

Everything changes when I bump into a man in the coffee shop and claim him as my new boyfriend. To my absolute horror, he turns out to be hockey’s most renowned bad boy, Dallas Burke. To my absolute delight, he goes along with my story.

When his no-nonsense manager and meddling grandmother jump in the picture, they see a win-win solution for my failing restaurant and Dallas’s less-than-stellar reputation.

A full-fledged fake romance complete with contract negotiations, pretend dates and phony PDA.

But as I get to know the real Dallas Burke, who is not the man the press says he is, it becomes clear that if this isn’t real. . . someone better tell it to my heart.

Heath Karras has a problem. Lots of eager first da Heath Karras has a problem. Lots of eager first dates... no second dates. With his propensity to spout random (and often bizarre) animal facts while nervous (he's always nervous around women) it's no wonder. 
His sister has a solution--lots of dates. Great, heaping gobs of them. Go ahead. Be awkward. Get used to it. Then... then try with someone you really want to get to know. He's not so confident, but when a man gives his word... (Note to self: no more agreeing to Selby's plans without knowing what they are!)
Find out what happens in Random Acts (or is it Facts?) of Shyness.

This book just got a fresh makeover, thanks to the genius of @PlethoraCreative & @PerryElizabeth.
There's a link to how to find it in my bio.
