Chancey #10
Chancey Moves
Spring is in the Chancey air—almost.
Spring means planning. Planning for gardens, weddings, babies, and spring break. But first comes the North Georgia Book Festival with a surprise author, who is celebrated by everyone.
Well, everyone that hasn’t read her books.
Carolina is busy with the book festival, but she can’t help noticing how so many of the lives around her are veering off course. She’s sure she knows how they can all be happy, but they don’t seem to want her help. If only they would let her move them around, like the pieces on the new chessboard in Blooming Books!
Meanwhile, Carolina’s daughter, Savannah, is having trouble getting all the pieces to her elaborate spring break plans to stay in place, and Missus finds being mayor doesn’t mean everyone sticks to her plan, even if she puts it in a proclamation.
They’re all wondering if Laney might have the best idea: “Sometimes the only way to win is to flip the board in the air and stomp off.”

“A new voice in Southern Fiction” is how a recent reviewer labels Kay Dew Shostak’s debut novel, "Next Stop, Chancey".
After being raised in a small-town in Tennessee, Kay lived around the country in a variety of settings. Taking a look at the familiar and loved from new perspectives led Kay to see, and then write about, the absurd, the beautiful, and the funny in her South.

I love. Chancey!
It was fun to visit with old friends again! I just wish there was less time between books. I forgot who some of the newer characters were. Now I'm left hanging!! The next book would be a nice Christmas present. Hint, hint.

Check Mate
I think this one is my favorite. I just love the new characters. I love the direction the story is going. Gussie adds so much peace & calm to Chancey. I honestly feel a physical energy shift when she appears in the story. The character development is amazing.
