my story

A lifelong lover of words and writing, I began publishing romantic fiction in my mid-twenties under my name, Emily A. Myers. My fiction works reflect my heart and soul as a woman. At times, they’ve also reflected my wounds and worries. My novels are both my mirror and my fantasy, and as I’ve evolved, so have they. From restrained yet suspenseful early romance works to steamy yet emotionally-driven Mafia romances to layered small town romances, my backlist represents my evolution as a writer and a woman. And I’d be naive to say that evolution ends here.

I'm excited to announce a brand new romance series called Letters of Love is in development. This series will revisit some of the locations from my backlist, as well as, some of my reader's favorite supporting characters. But it will also introduce new literary worlds, and showcase a new kind of romantic storytelling for this author who has now learned the difference between chasing love and resting in love.

I'm also excited to begin writing under the pen name, Emily Roberts Marshall, to publish faith-driven non-fiction and one day, Christian children's books. This is a persona born from my own story, both the story of the romance writer who finally found true love in Jesus and the story of the woman who lost her father, Robert Marshall, and infant nephew, Marshall Luke, to cancer. This pen name is a combination of both their names, and the works I plan to publish will be in their honor.

Throughout my evolution as a writer, two things have remained constant—my desire to tell an amazing, heartfelt story and my belief in the power of storytelling. Stories—regardless of genre—have the power to change lives. Stories have the ability to connect on a soul level with each reader in a different way. Where does the story go from here? Only time will tell. One thing is certain. I am a writer not by profession but by purpose. As such, I will always write the stories begging to be told. I will always write what matters to me.

write what matters.

FEATURED BOOK:

You Can Always Come Home

A Small Town Second Chance Romance

𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 • The words within these pages are absolutely poetic. Every sentence breathes eloquence. I absolutely swooned over the words Noah spoke. He was always able to elicit immense passion with his language. And, it wasn’t just Noah. The surrounding words were equally full of emotion. Just beautiful.

𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 • A story of survival in so many ways. It begins with Emerson, flows into Noah, and continues to hover over them throughout the story. I’m not sure if two characters have ever deserved that happily ever after more than Emerson and Noah!

𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 • For Emerson and Noah, they are truly each other’s safe place. At the beginning, the found family and comfort that Emerson finds with Noah and his family was one of the most fulfilling aspects of this story. In time, just the knowledge that the other was out there was what kept them going…the hope that one day they would find their way back to one another.

𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐬 • The utter turmoil that occurs in Emerson and Noah’s lives is heart-wrenching. I can’t even count how many times I cried.

𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐥𝐞 • The symbolism with this is paramount for Emerson and Noah. The promises that were made when they were young follow them through the hardships. A testament to the knowledge that true love can survive the utmost challenges.

Woman In The Word

join me on the journey of discovery

After growing up in the church and desiring nothing but freedom from it, my journey back to God has been long and hard-fought.

I remember the convictions and desires I had as a young girl. I desired love, marriage, and purity. Yet, despite my regular spot on the pew, I didn’t leave my parent’s house or my small town church equipped to receive and steward any of those things.

From a lack of age-appropriate Bible-based teaching to my dad’s expectation of perfection without room for failure to my mother’s realistic preparation to have sex without getting pregnant, I left home without a relationship with God, in search of love, and believing that conforming to the world’s dating standards was the only way to get it. My good, godly desires were quickly exploited once I got into college.

I spent years in the wrong relationship and held in bondage by the invisible chains of sexual sin. My early romantic works reflect both my longing and my lostness. I had no idea how lost I was until God opened my eyes to the truth—not only His truth, but the truth of the enemy’s attacks that had been on my life since I was a little girl—a little girl worrying about being alone forever, a little girl being groomed to settle for the crumbs of some man’s fake love.

Like almost every meaningful journey in my life, my journey back to God began with frustration and determination. I was tired of people using God’s Word to control or condemn me. I decided to take their power away by reading His Word for myself. Not only did reading the Bible take away other’s power to control me, it restored my power as a child of God—the power over forces of evil that God gifts all those who believe in Him through Jesus.

This journey of discovery, transformation, and restoration has been the most surprising, fulfilling, and life-changing of any. I invite you to hear more of my story and embark on your own journey with the help of my Woman In The Word content combined with your own personal study of God’s Word.

His Word, the Bible, is the truth and is key to the best relationship you’ll ever have—the greatest love you’ll ever know.

How God Healed My Perspective of Marriage & The Importance of Undivided Loyalty to Christ

Paul tells us it is best to remain unmarried, but it is important to understand the context in which he speaks. In this post, we dive into 1 Corinthians and learn the importance of remaining completely devoted to the Lord both in singleness and in marriage. Yes, it's possible to do both with the help of the Holy Spirit. Marriage is not something to avoid and it doesn't have to be a distraction, but the proper foundation in Christ is a necessary first step to steward marriage

The Wisdom of God: A Message from 1 Corinthians

In the early days of the church, Paul often had to fight against false teachers and false wisdom by reminding believers of the truth of Jesus Christ which reveals both the power and wisdom of God. A heart and mind submitted to Christ reveals the foolishness of the worldly mindset. This spiritual wisdom is what Paul seeks to remind the Corinthians of. When the world seeks to sway you, remember the truth and stand strong on the foundation of your faith.

Project 31 Month 2: Learning To Trust & Be Trustworthy

Trust in the Lord is the essence of a Proverbs 31 woman. When our trust in the Lord is disrupted, everything else around us crumbles. We crumble, because God is the source of wisdom. He is the source of self-trust. In this installment of Project 31, we will reflect on three key topics: the trustworthiness of God, rebuilding our trust in the Lord, and learning to trust ourselves by learning to trust the God within us.

Project 31 Month 1: Reclaiming Your Worth & Identity in Christ

In this first installment of Project 31, we will combat the lies of the enemy and reclaim what it means to be a woman of God by remembering our innate, God-given identity and worth. This devotional study is for women of any age in any season. Proverbs 31 is not a badge earned by a marriage certificate. It is a portrait of what a woman looks like when she is living from her God-given identity and essence, which is love.
