Universal Analytics Google - Pageviews

I'm trying to record the hits for each author of a blog site.

ga('send', 'pageview'); (in the header with the ga code to track each page)
ga('send', 'pageview', { 'dimension1': 'William' }); (only on blog pages, I want to record the hits of each author)

Unfortunately, due to the templating of the site I can't just use ga set then send the pageview.

Will I get 2 hits for each page load, therefore showing incorrect data in Google Analytics?

Yes, you will get double page views which is incorrect. However Can you put your code in if else mode?

if(currentPage != 'blogpage') //put your conditions identifying if it's blog or not
{
     ga('send', 'pageview'); (in the header with the ga code to track each page)
}else
{
    ga('send', 'pageview', { 'dimension1': 'William' }); (only on blog pages, I want to record the hits of each author)
}
