About
Edwina Kiernan is an Irish-Welsh multi-award-winning Christian author, who lives in the land that inspired C. S. Lewis to create Narnia.
An enthusiast of classic novels and history, Edwina combines her faith, imagination and research in hope-infused tales set in times past. She is a committed follower of Jesus (the Living Word), and endeavors to use her pen to point others to Him. All her books feature strong, gospel-centered faith, dramatic danger and suspense, and sweet romance, wrapped up in atmospheric historical settings you won’t want to leave.
When she’s not writing, Edwina loves spending time with her dashing husband and lively little son, reading and studying the Bible, getting lost in a captivating novel and drinking more types of tea than most people realize even exist.

What I Believe...
God – One eternal, triune God who created and rules all things.
Scripture – The Bible is God’s inspired, infallible, and final authority.
Mankind – Humans are made in God’s image, equal in value, and life is sacred.
The Fall – All people are sinful and separated from God, needing redemption.
Jesus Christ – Fully God and fully man; lived sinlessly, died, rose, and reigns.
Justification – Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone.
Holy Spirit – The Spirit brings new life, indwells believers, and empowers holiness.
Church & Mission – The Church is Christ’s body, called to worship, disciple, and proclaim the Gospel.
Judgment – Jesus will return bodily to judge all people, raising the just to eternal life and the unjust to eternal punishment.
Eternity – Creation will be eternally restored - free from sin, evil, sickness, suffering, and death.
What You'll Find In My Books...
Grit
All my books tend to explore tough topics (such as abuse, PTSD, and disability) and feature characters in difficult situations. However, they are all clean: there's no inappropriate language, no blasphemy, no steamy content, and any violence depicted is not too graphic.
Growth
No one's perfect - especially not my characters. But over the course of each story, the characters will change and grow as they face challenges and discover truth. Much like the rest of us, hopefully!
Gospel
To me, Christian fiction must include more than a few vague references to God. In my books, you'll find Scripture, prayer, and the gospel unashamedly told, all in a natural way, authentic to the respective characters and time periods.
