Hello! I really want to start a new series on my blog, but first wanted to point out something you may not have noticed yet…
I’m a Christian author.
Yes, it’s in my “about me” section and it’s up on my twitter profile. I just started the #Christfic hashtag so we can share tweets w/other Christian fiction authors and readers.
I know some of my readers probably don’t share my beliefs. But I want to be myself as I start this author branding thing, and so that will include, from time to time, some discussions of Christian concepts.
I hope you still follow me and participate in conversations. My writing is truly geared toward both audiences–Christians and non-Christians. I believe my books cover topics that will resonate with both.
However, I want to start a Faith and Family Friday column on my blog. This will cover any number of topics, from things I’ve learned from my kids, to homeschooling, to marriage issues.
I believe strongly in the importance of marriage (if you’re supposed to be married–the Bible says some are not), and my novels will deal with those topics…thus, the Writing Beyond the Vows moniker above.
I won’t start this Friday, but I’m working on something for next Friday! I hope you continue to follow me, but if this makes you cringe, don’t feel like you have to. I don’t follow blogs about zombies or witches for my own reasons. But I love good conversations, and would love to hear your thoughts. You guys are the kindest and most helpful blog readers I’ve ever seen!
So there you have it. My name is Heather, and I’m a Christian author! Join me for some good conversations on marriage, kids and life in general. And you know there will be plenty of writing tips, book discussions, and doubtless some Vikings thrown in there, too!
–Heather

Thanks Nylse! I'm not ashamed, just wanted to let readers know what they'll be in for as I start to do more faith-based posts!
