Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

What Happens When Tinseltown Tugs at Your Heart

by Chautona Havig · 3 Comments

It’s Wonderland Wednesday, and we’re back with another author from the Wonderland Wishes Collection

If you didn’t remember from last week’s post, I’m celebrating the release of Wonderland Wishes with a series of blog posts by or about our collection members. Today’s post comes from (random drawing of order)… –Lynnette Bonner!

Lynette’s book in the collection is Kittens and Snow Flurries–book 3 in the Hearts of Hollywood collection. Kittens… drug rehab… Hollywood… c’mon!  This book is going to be amazing, right?

So, I asked Lynnette to tell us a bit about her “Hollywood Stars.”

Check out what she said!

What Happens When Tinseltown Tugs at Your Heart-- hollywood stars

What Happens When Tinseltown Tugs at Your Heart

Lynnette has a wonderful story for us, so let’s get to know a little more about it and her, shall we?

How did you come up with the title Kittens and Snow Flurries for your book?

My titles always stem from something in the book. Let’s just say that a cute kitten named Star has a hand in leading my heroine to realize that God is real and that He loves her. Just like a different star long, long ago led some wise men to the King of Kings.

Who is your favorite supporting character in Kittens and Snow Flurries and why?

I always love revisiting characters who were the main characters in past books. That’s why I’ll have to go with Havyn and Chelsea as favorite secondary characters. It was nice to visit with them again. 🙂

If you created a musical for this novella and had to use just one known Christmas song or carol for its theme, what would that be and why?

I think it would have to be We Three Kings because of the chorus about the star of wonder, star of might, star of royal beauty bright…guide us to thy perfect light. That’s the whole theme of my book, right there.

The theme of the collection is wishes—What is your wish for this book in the lives of your readers?

[clickToTweet tweet=”My prayer for my books is always that they portray the message that God wants fellowship with us. ” quote=”My prayer for my books is always that they portray the message that God wants fellowship with us. “]If my readers walk away uplifted and wanting a closer relationship with God, then my fondest wish is fulfilled. I truly believe He is the answer for every problem we face!

Not a Sparrow Falls Now that this novella is done, what will you be working on?

Next on my list is the second book in my historical series, Wyldhaven. Book one is Not a Sparrow Falls. And this one will be titled On Eagles’ Wings. I’m already loving some of the secondary characters and can’t wait to delve more into their lives in future books. Doc and Dixie are such fun characters to spend time with. I’m enjoying their story immensely.

On Eagles' Wings-BonnerWell, I hope that got you excited for Lynnette’s novella!

To learn more about Lynnette, check out her website and follow her on social media.

    I love stories about Hollywood, so of course I love this whole series. This book offers a wonderful message of hope. Plus, there’s that kitten!

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 162: A Chat with Author, Nancy Naigle
byChautona Havig

Hey, we’re back after a couple of weeks of vacation, and boy did I need it. And, have I got a fabulous interview for you. Nancy Naigle and I talked about her books, her most recent release, What Remains True as well as her Christmas books and the one I’m most anxious to read, The Shell Collector. Listen in and learn about what Nancy says about this bet she has going on in What Remains True. Great stuff!

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

Need a Great Romantic Read to Wind Up Your Summer Reads?

As I said in the podcast, a while back, someone told me I’d LOVE The Shell Collector–one of those people who recommends books you HAVE to read if they say you do.  So I bought it and it’s been sitting on my shelf ever since. Well, now it’s on my GoodReads shelf, and I’m about to start it (and I optimistically thought I’d be done with it by the time this episode released. Oh, me of too much faith in myself and my time management!)

Author of over thirty books, not to mention a bestselling author who also has movies made of her novels (And The Shell Collector has been optioned! EEEP!), Nancy loves to write Christmas books and small-town stories. Seriously, as we talked, I felt like she was talking about me half the time. We’re so very alike in so many ways. It was fun.

Nancy also pointed out that her first books (if you go WAY back) are not Christian fiction and are a bit spicier than she prefers to write and definitely more than she writes today. So be warned there, but she did assure us that they are all closed-door books.

What Remains True by Nancy Naigle

One woman wants to win a bet. One man wants to become a rodeo champion. One little girl may give them both something even better—from USA Today bestselling author Nancy Naigle.

“A commitment-phobic rodeo star and a divorcée with secrets find love in this wholesome romance. . . . As uplifting as it is sweet.”—Publishers Weekly

Working at a little shop on Main Street in a small town is exactly the break that executive Merry Anna Foster needs following her divorce. She’s made a bet with her ex-husband that she can live on the amount of money she’s giving him in alimony. If she can do it, then Kevin will have to stop complaining and leave her alone. But after three months of this new life, will she even want to leave Antler Creek?

Adam Locklear, bull rider and owner of the local feedstore, is having the best year of his rodeo career. He’s also a bit distracted by the pretty new neighbor living in his old bunkhouse. But Adam has no time for matters of the heart. He’s got his future all mapped out, and that future doesn’t involve a woman just yet. It doesn’t involve parenting a little girl either. However, Carly Fowler still suddenly leaves five-year-old Zan—the daughter Adam didn’t know he had—in his care.

Is it possible that the future holds a life even better than what Merry Anna and Adam had each dreamed of? One that includes both tenderness and even love—not just for each other but for Zan too?

You can learn more about Nancy’s books and movies on her WEBSITE.

Oh, and PSST… I’m loving the audiobook of this one!
