Reviewers HERE and HERE have suggested that Sins of the Father is contemporary drama, not Christian fiction. What do you think?
Angela, I think it could be categorized in both genres. Christian fiction has evolved since I first started reading it. There’s like a thin line between Christian fiction and contemporary. I’ve read the book and it should appeal to readers of both genres.
I think your tagline of “inspirational family drama” sums it up best. I know the Bible story. Christians will pick up on that and read from that perspective. I understand why some might not categorize it as Christian fiction.
Those who are unfamiliar with the Biblical tale might miss the faith aspect, and for them, it will read like a contemporary fiction tale. But then, should they enjoy it enough to look for your other works, it becomes the hook that draws them into other Christian fiction.
To be honest, I understand why the reviewers said what they did as well. I think the message in Sins of the Father was as strong as that in my other books but it was presented differently. I look forward to continuing on this “inspirational family drama” journey.
I think it is both. I wonder if it had scripture all over the place, would they consider it to by Christian fiction. I did not understand. Every time I go to B&N stores I see, what I think would be Christian fiction, most african american book in the Urban section. I hope I am making since.
