Another Book-Baby


After pouring my life into my last book, I’ve been slow getting “back on the horse” of writing. No one wants to give birth (even to a book) and have their beautiful, seemingly perfect baby rejected by the big publishers and agents. Unfortunately for me, I now have TWO new books swimming blissfully about in my head at any given time.

I have started both of them. One is the one I’ve mentioned in my last post, the modern Mothman tale. The second is historical fiction, and much more along the lines of something traditional Christian publishing houses would want.

So, I’d love your comments as I’m trying to pin down which book I want to focus on. What would YOU rather read, historical fiction or paranormal fiction (much like Otherworld)? I’d love some feedback from you all! I’m starting to get a bit more obsessed with the historical fiction (can anyone say I LOVE VIKINGS?). Please comment on here and give a very confused writer some help!

Thanks–
Heather

    I've always liked historical fiction but hadn't read much of anything remotely paranormal until the portion of your book you posted. I was hooked! You have a great way of bringing any story to life so go with your heart on this one!

Hi, I’m Heather…

I write contemporary mysteries and Viking historicals. Born and brought up in the mountains of West Virginia, I enjoy writing about small towns, family relationships, and women who aren't afraid to protect those they love. Read More…

Happy #WestVirginiaDay! You might know that I love Happy #WestVirginiaDay! You might know that I love setting my contemporary mystery series in my home state of WV. What you might not know is that there was a time I wanted nothing more than to move away and spread my wings (somewhere like NYC! Where I wound up living for a year when I got married!). But years down the road, I felt my mountain roots pulling me back. Suddenly, I could see nothing but beauty in these comforting mountains and moody skies and honeysuckled summers. West Virginia is so many things—good and bad as any state is—but it’s entirely unique. My husband once marveled at how many people ā€œcame backā€ to their home state here, even after being gone for years, and I see that all the time. These #Appalachianmountains have a way about them, and it becomes a part of you, a love you don’t want to let go of. I’m a #mountainmama, and I’m glad to bring this truly #wildandwonderful state to readers with my books.
