Coming Clean–My Name is Heather, and I’m a Christian Author…

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!

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 “came back” 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.
