There was a discussion today taking place on the ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers) loop about taglines. Someone initiated the discussion by asking the questions - "what is your tagline" and "how did you come up with it?"
One of my dearest friends in the world, Ronie Kendig, writes "Rapid-Fire Fiction" - her tagline says it all. And she's AMAZING at it. (If you haven't read them already, you need to pick up her books: Dead Reckoning, Nightshade, Digitalis, Wolfsbane - about to release, and Firethorn releasing next January.
I must admit that it took me only a few minutes to find my tagline - but that was after a lot of input over several weeks. From agent, editor, and lots of other author friends.
The reason I needed so much help? Well, I always need help. That's beside the point. LOL. But seriously, I write fiction and non-fiction. I wasn't quite sure how to encompass them both.
Then I realized my tagline could say it all. So here it is:
Faith, Perseverance, JOY
Faith - my faith is everything because God is the story, no matter what I write.
Perseverance - James 1:2-4 tells me that the testing of my faith develops perseverance. And perseverance must finish its work.
JOY - you can have joy through trials, because God's joy cannot be taken away.
So there you have it. What's your tagline?

Aww, thank you for the mention, girlie! I really love my tagline, and it sort of dropped into my lap during a seminar one day (totally a God thing, I believe).
Yours fits you to a T (or is a J-for joy?).
Thanks for the recomend! so excited the author stopped by to!!! I can't wait to read your next book and if you recomend Ronnie's than they must be great I will pick them up right now.
