Got inspired by other authors to do a 2025 Wrapped—Author Edition.

2025 was a heck of a year professionally. I published four books, released three audio editions, launched my direct sales business, launched Woman In The Word blog with almost 20 posts completed. I completed my first book fair event and had so much fun! And the truth is, I’m just getting started.

I can’t say what 2026 will look like but I’m happy with my 2025 stats. Noah, our resident sports book boyfriend, would be proud.

You can discover all my books on Amazon or purchase directly from me on www.emilyamyers.com

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!

Closing out 2025 with one last project! I just finished editing The Last Christmas List: A Holiday Romance Novella 🎄❤️

I will format it and hit publish tomorrow. Depending on how quickly Amazon approves it, this may be the final release of 2025 or the first release of 2026.

This novella was a total passion project and was inspired by my real life. It is bittersweet, but drives home a powerful message to reflect on at this time of year.

“The greatest present is presence.”

There is a super cute love story between Lily and Jax at the center. He’s her brother’s best friend / childhood bully / first boy she ever loved, kissed / first heartbreak, etc. And now they’re reunited for the first time in seven years for one last Andrew’s family Christmas.

A novella is obviously much shorter than a full length novel but I still feel like you get enough from these two characters to fall in love with their love story AND step into the world of Serendipity, Louisiana—the small town outside of New Orleans where this story is set.

If you’re looking to extend your holiday, be sure to grab this ebook when it releases! 🤍🎄🤍🎄

Mapping out my 2026 projects! Honestly, I will say my biggest struggles as an indie author are: content creation, marketing, advertising, and work-life balance.

I love writing!! I just don’t like promoting my writing. But you have to to an extent to actually be able to continue writing.

What I’ve discovered is a simpler approach to “content creation” and that’s just sharing an inside look at my process & my writing table.

Instead of me spending hours in Canva, creating posts I’ll likely never share (because time 🙃), I’ll just show you what it looks like when I write a book, a short story, a blog post. Sound good?

Right now, I’m creating a project priority list for next year. My must-dos and my maybe-dos.

What big project are you planning for 2026? ⬇️

Well loves, it’s been a minute and a rough one at that. Life has hit my family hard over the past couple of weeks. Someone very close to me has received a cancer diagnosis that has shaken us all. I had so many plans and more ideas keep forming because this brain of mine never stops, but…

Right now, I’m taking a pause to focus on my family. I will still work quietly offline doing what I feel led to as I have time to. But quietly and offline is key.

More blog content is sure to come. Additionally, I’m still excited about my Christian non-fiction book I’m set to begin next year. I’ve also got something else fiction wise I feel excited about. But again, I will get to it when I get to it and there likely won’t be any big announcements anytime soon. Maybe just small launches 🥹👀

Wrapping up my backlist breakdown is the book that caught me by surprise. I never imagined myself writing a story with a deaf lead. This idea came to me after sudden inspiration and it was so beautiful, I had to write it. ⁣
⁣
I am so proud of this novel and the representation I was able to include through April's hearing loss, Emmett's mental health struggles, and how they navigate a communication barrier in their budding relationship. ⁣
~⁣
"𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞--𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝, 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞."⁣
⁣
Welcome to Magnolia, Louisiana, a small town desperate for a fresh start after tragedy. Newcomer, April has made it her life’s work bringing old, abandoned properties back to beauty. It was a dream first instilled in her by her father after they lost their home in a hurricane. Since then, April has lost much more—both her parents and her hearing. April’s life has been quiet for far too long. The only comfort she finds is in her work. That is until she meets the farmer next door, Emmett Calhoun.⁣
⁣
Emmett is driven by two things—responsibility to his family and a desire to never become his father. Reluctant to allow himself a taste of something new, Emmett avoids helping April with the renovation until he simply can’t. When he finally agrees to help, more than the historic inn gets a fresh start.April hears Emmett, sees him, more than anyone else ever has. Emmett learns and loves April in a way no one else has ever been willing to. Together, they find the silence isn’t so quiet. Together, they tear down the walls guarding their hearts and open their minds to new possibilities for the future—to new dreams, to new love. And the town of Magnolia enters a new chapter of togetherness.⁣

"𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫. 𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬."⁣
⁣
Gio Moretti is the glue that holds the Amato crime family together—the boss when the boss is away, an expert in tactical warfare, a trusted enforcer, the liaison, the negotiator, the mastermind, the chess master. But a life of always putting everyone else first has left him trapped in an inescapable darkness. That is, until Darcy Cunningham and her daughter, Delilah, walk into his life and make him feel alive in a way he never has before.⁣
⁣
Gio sees Darcy as an angel, the ray of sunlight needed to chase away his darkness. But Darcy is haunted by a darkness of her own. A single mom on the run from her abusive husband, Darcy finds herself in New Orleans, out of money and with nowhere to stay. She meets Gio at a perfectly imperfect time and takes a job as his live-in maid. Darcy is scared she can’t trust Gio, scared he’ll hurt her. But, while Darcy was her ex-husband’s prisoner, she’ll be Gio’s princess.⁣
⁣
Gio and Darcy’s love story is 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥, 𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫, 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡-𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞. 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦 is a complete standalone with a happily-ever-after.⁣

When Ana moves to New Orleans, Damon is assigned to be her protector despite being from an opposing criminal syndicate. The things is, Ana can't know.

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 is my longest book to date and yet I wrote it in the same amount of time as my shortest novel. The words flew out of me like a demon that needed to be exorcised. ⁣
⁣
Normally when I write, I'm crying, laughing, screaming. I'm feeling all the emotions as the scenes play out in my mind. My fingers move across the keyboard at rapid speed, translating what's happening in my head. ⁣
⁣
When I look back on writing this novel, I feel like I was out of my body. I don't remember crying or experiencing all the emotions I normally do. Yet my readers spend most of the book crying their eyes out. ⁣
⁣
This is a heartbreaking book and yet, I didn't feel that ache while writing. I'd been carrying it inside me for years. Writing this book was me staring at the computer, watching the words scribble before me with a blank expression on my face. ⁣
⁣
There were a few lines that woke me up from the daze. A few moments that felt like aha! That's good. But mostly, it was just an extraction of so much that'd been living inside me.⁣
⁣
Maybe reading this novel will feel the same way. Maybe it'll resurface things lost inside you, things you're finally ready to feel. ⁣
⁣
Read responsibly. This book comes with several trigger warnings.⁣

Emerson and Noah's story is my most heartbreaking yet. We get to see these characters fall in love as teenagers before tragedy rips them apart. Ten years later, we see their reconciliation unfold. Their story is the ultimate story of coming home with themes of redemption and forgiveness, and topes of second chance and found family. ⁣
⁣
𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 is a tragically beautiful story that will shatter your heart and stitch it back together one page at a time. ⁣

I'm pretty sure all of my book will make you cry, but if I had to pick two...⁣
⁣
𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 is my most cry-worthy / tear-inducing book. My readers say they practically cried the entire book. It's a heartbreaker, for sure. ⁣
⁣
For me, 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭 comes in second place, because of how tortured Alister is over his sister's death and how alone Ariana has been all her life. In each other, they find hope and happiness in the darkness, but it doesn't come easily. Even as they fall in love, there are moments that tear them apart and my readers.⁣

Across my seven novel backlist these are my most used tropes. I'm a sucker for the redemption story. While it isn't always a second chance by romance genre standards, my novels usually feature some aspect of a second chance for my characters: second chance at love with a new partner. Found family and healing themes are usually always present, which is another way I drive home the theme of the second chance. ⁣
⁣
My character development usually begins with some form of trauma. I like to know my character's darkness / their lowest moment before I begin writing. Because, in life, our trauma impacts every choice we make and the way we view / operate in the world and in relationships. ⁣
⁣
As someone who enjoys a well-paced novel, I often include suspenseful moments to amp up my reader's heart rate and quicken the pace to help balance the longer narrative portions. ⁣

Writing the 𝘜𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 duet led to my 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 & 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬! I wasn't ready to leave New Orleans. ⁣
⁣
My Amato crime family is inspired by New Orleans' real Mafia history. It was so fun getting to research the Mafia beginnings in the Crescent City and bring that history into a modern-day, sexy, suspenseful romance series. ⁣
⁣
𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭 is the first book in this series. Each book is a standalone romance but there is a central conflict that develops throughout. For the best reading experience, read them in order. ⁣
~⁣
𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵 features tortured Mafia king, Alister Amato, and disgraced FBI agent, Ariana Valentine. Alister and Ariana make unlikely allies as they work together to discovery who has a vendetta against Alister's family, a vendetta that leads Ariana to discover her own connection to the Mafia and her true identity after being raised in foster care and never knowing her parents. ⁣
⁣
This novel is low on spice and full of mystery and action. The tension between these two is incredible and Alister's sacrificial love is swoon worthy. ⁣

The 𝐔𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐮𝐞𝐭 is a single POV romantic suspense duet with women's fiction themes. It follows Emma Marshall as she investigates her abusive ex and makes a dark discovery in New Orleans.⁣
⁣
After breaking off her engagement to rich and well-respected Beau, Emma is assaulted. Her ex then does everything he can to make sure she stays silent. And Emma is fine with silence until Beau's antics threaten her new relationship with the boy next door. ⁣
⁣
Emma, a journalist in New Orleans, put her investigative skills to use and seeks blackmail on Beau, which leads to several unspeakable discoveries. ⁣
~⁣
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐔𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 was my award-winning beginning. I'm forever grateful to Emma and all the characters featured in this duet. Special shout out to Julian and Kat! IYKYK. ⁣
⁣
Many people don't realize there is a sequel to 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘈𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘜𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴. 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 expands on the suspenseful conflict we see in the first book. It also serves as an introduction to Alister and Gio. Alsiter and Emma have a common enemy in the brotherhood and they work together to take them down. ⁣

For those of you who love the 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 & 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧 series, think of this book as a prequel to it. ⁣

And he meant that and he stood on that even when he was broken. ⁣

“Emerson Loreali Calhoun, I will never get tired of you. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐞, 𝐚 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧, 𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐞. You are a beautiful blessing, an intelligent addition, a lighthouse guiding me to new discoveries about myself and new possibilities for the future. You are the best part of my day and the thing I miss most at night. While our relationship is unconventional, I wouldn’t change it. The only thing I’d change is what keeps you up at night.” ⁣
⁣
As Noah brings his lips to mine, his kiss provides me with enough warmth to chase away the lingering chill of fear, uncertainty, and the anxiety regarding my return to school after the holiday break. Wrapping my hand around his neck, I allow my fingers to caress his hair while my other hand travels the indentions of his chest. My movements convey my longing to feel close to him, especially considering it’ll be more difficult for us to see each other this coming week since school is out. ⁣
⁣
Noah’s touch conveys the same longing as he yanks my maroon sweater from the inside of my jeans and slips his hand underneath. Gliding his palm up my back, I savor the feel of his skin on mine. He holds me in a way that’s both comforting and claiming. Okay, now this thought—or memory—may be enough to heat my flesh long after we’ve parted. When my anxiety and insecurities pop up, I’ll do my best to think of this. There is no greater feeling than being in his arms—no greater calm.⁣

The final line of 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞:⁣
𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬? 𝘏𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳.⁣
⁣
That's the era I hope to step into in my own life. But, first... These books are special and I want to honor them. ⁣
⁣
The 𝐔𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐮𝐞𝐭 is a single POV romantic suspense duet with women's fiction themes. It follows Emma Marshall as she investigates her abusive ex and makes a dark discovery in New Orleans. ⁣
⁣
The 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 & 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 and the 𝘜𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 duet exist in the same world. It follows the Amato crime family in New Orleans as they defeat their enemies and ultimately give up their crowns for the women they love. ⁣
⁣
The 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐚 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐬 𝐝𝐮𝐞𝐭 is an introduction to the small town based on my hometown. It follows the Calhoun siblings and their partners and tackles themes of coming home to each other and themselves, facing the past and past mistakes, and entering a new era of love. It is the transition between where I've been and where I'm going. ⁣
⁣
I love all my characters so much, but if I had to pick my faves?⁣
Emma, because she was the first. The men of B&B, because they each represent a different kind of book boyfriend I love. Ariana, for her strength. Emerson, for her story. Noah, because I've never broken for an MC more.⁣
⁣
𝐀𝐃𝐃 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐁𝐑. 𝐀𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐨𝐧!⁣

⁣
Some moments sneak up on you when you're writing. I loved this full circle moment that tied back to the beginning of Emerson and Noah's love story. ⁣
⁣
“Emerson, you’re not losing me,” Noah says. This time his voice is more firm. Bringing his hands to my face, he gently turns my head toward him. Softly, he brushes my tears from my cheeks. “You’re not losing me,” he repeats. “I know I’ve said it before and I will say it—prove it to you—as many times as you need, but I’m not going anywhere, sweetheart. I don’t want just one night—one holiday—with you, Emerson, or even just one semester.” ⁣
⁣
Noah shakes his head and flicks his eyes between mine and my lips. “I understand why you’re afraid. After everything you’ve told me, I get it. But 𝐈’𝐦 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞, 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭. 𝐈’𝐦 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞. And I didn’t ask you here tonight just for a home cooked meal and a little reprieve from the chaos at your house. I asked you here so that I could tell you my plan and show you just how much you mean to me, how committed I am to us.” ⁣
⁣
“Really?” ⁣
⁣
“Yes.” Noah wipes away more of my tears and kisses my forehead. Then, he slips off the bed and grabs a binder from his backpack. I slide to the edge of the bed, not liking the distance between us. Handing me the binder he says, “𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐄𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧. 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮—𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐝𝐚𝐲.”⁣
⁣
Noah nods toward the binder and I open it. I smile as I see the printed out calendar sheets marked in different colored ink. It reminds me of the day this all began.⁣

Two series + Christian Nonfiction + Writing Courses + Undisclosed Secret Projects!

We’re going back to Magnolia, babes! 🤎🌾

I truly do see my business as a tree with two distinct branches—faith and fiction. There are some aspects of my business that will remain segmented and there are other areas where faith and fiction will collide.

Magnolia Blooms is the series with my imagination thrives! I see it as purely fiction with new creative boundaries.

Redeemed Hearts is where faith meets fiction. 😇

My Christian Nonfiction is self-explanatory. Project 31 is just the beginning.

Beyond these three categories of books, I have other smaller projects and offerings that will fit in both faith and fiction categories.

I’m realizing I don’t have to choose one lane or niche. I am multi-faceted and my business will be too!

I recently presented a workshop I created on the topic of building rootable heroines and the feedback was amazing. I want to offer this course through my website along with others. So, that’s also in the works.

Writing is my passion, no matter what the genre is. So, teaching others how to be better writers is something I’m super excited about!

⁣
I love the high school scenes in this novel so much! This first scene between Emerson and Noah is so cute. ⁣
⁣
Fun Fact: I originally only planned for there to be 10 chapters of them in high school. So, if the beginning feels like it happens really first, it's because it was written with the intention of Part 1 being 10 chapters not 35. 😅 But I honestly feel like it works so well. We get a good introduction into Emerson and Noah's personal lives and immediately jump into building their connection. ⁣
⁣
What's your favorite scene from 𝒴𝑜𝓊 𝒞𝒶𝓃 𝒜𝓁𝓌𝒶𝓎𝓈 𝒞𝑜𝓂𝑒 𝐻𝑜𝓂𝑒 𝑃𝑎𝑟𝑡 1?⁣
⁣
1: Their first tutoring session 📚⁣
2: Their first date ⚾🌧⁣
3: Christmas at the Boone House 🎄⁣
4: The night Emerson escapes her father / their first time 🔥⁣
⁣
As the writer, I'm going with number four, the night Emerson escapes and has her first time with Noah. Those scenes were incredible to write. It was a balance of suspense, emotion, strength, and sweet love. ⁣

So, the scenes from the Fall Carnival weren't originally included in the novel, but were added during revisions. They ended up being some of my favorites and my reader's favorites. ⁣
⁣
𝐹𝓊𝓃 𝐹𝒶𝒸𝓉: The Magnolia High Fall Carnival was inspired by a fall carnival we used to have at my high school and it was housed in the "Old Gym," which totally added to the nostalgic feel of the night. ⁣
🤎⁣
Reaching into my back pocket, I grab my keys and hand them to Evan. “Get her to my truck and turn the heat on.” Emerson looks up at me as I release her into Evan’s care. Her eyes are wide and she shakes her head as if to say no, but no words escape her. “It’s okay. I’ll be there in a second,” I assure her. My anger isn’t the only thing I suppress as I send her away. I want to comfort her, shower her with affection that takes away her affliction. But if I do that in front of all these people, it would just make things worse.⁣
⁣
“I guess you have to resort to dumb shit when you can’t score any baskets that count,” I tell him. ⁣
⁣
Chuck laughs. Puffing out his chest, he glances down toward his dick and says, “Oh, I score plenty. Maybe you should get some pu**y, Boone. Then you won’t be so uptight. Or is that why you’re so upset? I got your ball bunny wet.”⁣
⁣
As my fist barrels into Chuck’s jaw, he chokes on the laugh I steal from him. I shake my hand out as he falls to the ground.⁣
⁣
“These hands aren’t just good for winning championships, my friend. If you ever speak about her in a vulgar way again, let alone touch her, I’ll show you what else they can do.”⁣

Faith Meets Fiction: Introducing The New Era of Emily Myers Storytelling 🤎🌾

I normally wouldn’t announce projects this far in advance but I want to share this journey with you, especially because it’s new for all of us.

NEW FICTION SERIES: Redeemed Hearts
🤎 The first book in this series of standalones is Sweet Refuge and it will release next year. This novel is the perfect blend of faith meets fiction. I’m combining popular romance tropes like opposites attract, workplace/ close proximity, bully, and more with faith-influences like low spice and a spiritual redemption journey.
📖 Not all books in this series will feature faith-influences (at least, I don’t think) but they will feature amazing redemption arcs, which are always my favorite to write.
🤎I would classify this novel as Contemporary Romance / Contemporary Inspirational Romance.
📖 It will be a cozy fall read that is The Hating Game meets Redeeming Love.

NEW CHRISTIAN NON-FICTION 🤎
- Project 31: A Year of Becoming A Proverbs 31 Woman is something I am so excited about. I will turn 31 next March and will write this book over the span of my 31st year of life.
- It will detail my transformation of becoming the woman God called me to be while also aiding the reader’s own transformation with helpful insight into the struggles of becoming, monthly challenges, guided scripture study and journal prompts.
- I will share my journey and writing process in real time on my new account @womanintheword_ Please follow me there if you’re interested in following the faith branch of my business and undergoing your own spiritual transformation.
- Project 31 will release in 2027! In the meantime, I will work on other amazing offerings for you through my blog, Woman In The Word, and digital prayer journals and journal packs.

I’m so excited about my future fiction and faith-based writings. Welcome to the new era! 🤎🌾

Life update!! 🤎🌾

Last week was book launch week but it was also a week of a lot of mental struggle for me AND a lot of writing. I wrote (3) new posts for Woman In The Word detailing my personal struggles in a way I honestly didn’t expect to, but needed to.

Last night, I hosted Friendsgiving at my house and it was great to have good time with my girls!

Today, the sermon at my church, @wogm was exactly what I’ve been needing. It was all about waiting on the Lord, having patience in the waiting, not losing hope, and trusting Him to bring the harvest in your life.

This message was made just for me. I could hear God speaking to me throughout the whole service. Even the music addressed some of the things I’d been struggling with which was the idea that I have to be perfect to be blessed, chosen, and worthy.

Now, I’m going to reflect more on today’s sermon with my super cute @kingfolkco stickers. A new blog post about the Waiting Season may be coming soon. I write where the spirit leads me. I write from my own struggles and this has certainly been one.

Check out the blog posts from last week about Struggles In Surrender & Bringing God Into Your Shame.

How are you spending Sunday?? 🕊️

I have written some spectacular lines over the years, but this book...⁣

Well, I'm starting to think there are no words left unsaid. I have poured every ounce of my heartbreak into this book, at least I think. And I've also written some of the most beautiful lines of love I ever have. ⁣

This love story will wreck you and heal you, just like these two characters are shattered and restored. ⁣

I'm absolutely blown away by this review!⁣
⁣
Book Review 5 ⭐ Spice level : 2 🌶 ⭐ 5/5 emotional devastation (and I loved every second).⁣
⁣
This book completely destroyed me obviously in the best, most beautiful way possible. I was not prepared for the emotional wreckage this book would leave me in.⁣
⁣
I was ugly crying literally at 30% into the book and somehow still devoured every single word like I hadn’t just been torn apart to learn to rebuild with Emerson and Noah.⁣
⁣
The story was raw, real, and so full of heart that I felt every emotion right alongside the characters. They just didn’t get a break these two, man. I was gutted for more than half of this book. It’s no lie, 𝐈 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤. I also read this book in less than 8 hours, 𝐈 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧, 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲. ⁣
⁣
Emerson and Noah gave us a look at love, loss, and finding your way back, not just home, but to yourself. I ate up every single crumb of this book, and I’d do it all over again even knowing it would wreck me all over. 🥹⁣
⁣
Please be sure to read the trigger warnings. This book touches a lot of heavy subjects!⁣

I'm absolutely blown away by this review!⁣
⁣
This was traumatic in the best way. It starts out heartbreaking, the gives you hope, shatters everything, and then heals you. Everyone should read this duet. Please read the books in order because I swear it will make a difference in how you view it.⁣
⁣
I was practically crying through the whole thing because it is the most I have personally related to a character's situation and personality before. I know Emily put a lot of herself into this book and I'm so glad she did. It helps so many women feel less alone. It also shows that people heal very differently, but there are healthy ways to do it. Everyone deserves a safe space and to be loved endlessly. ⁣
⁣
Emerson lives so much of her life struggling. Whether it's her abusive father, passive mother, bullies, lost family, etc. Noah become her safe space, but when tragedy hits, he doesn't know how to process anything. Having read the first book, I knew what was coming, but I still wasn't prepared for how bad it hurt. The journey is full of learning to heal themselves in order to help each other. Noah is exactly what Emerson needs, even years later when they come back together. Noah may lose everything, but he has always loved Emerson and that live also gives him everything he needs. ⁣
⁣
While I am sad that this is Emily's last spicy book, I am proud of her own growth and her wonderful writing. I have been blessed to be able to do several ARCs for her over the last couple of years. Her writing is strong and intentional. I'll be interested in seeing what her next book is like. Thank you for letting us all see your own journey through your characters.⁣

This book, where do I begin? I think it might be my favorite book I've ever written. The words, all 140,000 of them, flew out of me over the span of 3.5 months. The writers out there know what an accomplishment that is. ⁣
⁣
I handled Emerson and Noah with care and, in turn, they taught me lessons I still needed to learn. They made me realize how I'd been romanticizing violence, darkness, and a lot of things that weren't good for me. The way Noah loved Emerson made me long for a sweet love like theirs and sweet touch, like his. ⁣

This novel tackles dark themes and is full of heartache. It was powerful to explore my own struggles through these characters.

Just a girl and her book! You Can Always Come Home releases tomorrow on Amazon! 🩷📖

Small town
Second chance
Young love
Tragic separation
Military man
Single mom
Trauma
Healing love story

This book is written in memory of the victims of war and the soldiers who fight to protect the innocent and preserve peace.

I specifically chose not to launch this book on Veteran’s Day out of respect for the national holiday. But it’s fitting that Noah is a veteran and his story releases tomorrow. Noah’s experiences while in the military are inspired by real life stories shared with me from a friend who served in Afghanistan.

I just found out last night that You Can Feel It In The Silence was nominated for an award! This was a total surprise. I had nothing to do with the nominations and apparently nominations were in August.

I’m so grateful for whoever nominated it. Moments like this that catch me by surprise make me realize how much there is still to experience as an author.

My book event on Saturday was another one of those unexpectedly good moments, even though I had planned to do it.

Another aha moment I’m looking forward to is presenting a presentation I created for @womeninpublishingsummit @writepublishsell , a company I love and have worked with before! 💜 That’s happening today at noon!

THANKFUL. BLESSED.

I’m also so thankful for my blog, Woman In The Word, which is allowing me to share God’s word as well as my personal journey as a woman reclaiming her relationship with the Lord.

Bad days still bear good things. But today will be a good day. 🙏🏻

This book just made it to the top of my 2025 favourites list. Noah is the book boyfriends of all book boyfriends. Going through Emerson's story myself, reliving it with her reminded me of my own strength.Even though there were some very heavy topics in Noah and Emerson's story, Emily tackled them with grace and sensitivity.I adored the way Noah cares for Emerson and the way she cherishes him. Their relationship was sweet and kind. They took their time building a relationship that turned into more overtime. I absolutely loved that. It made their connection genuine and real.⁣

When I tell you I know this will be a book that I think about for a very long time, I’m not exaggerating. Emily has outdone herself with this one. She gave us such an emotionally intelligent young man in the beginning of this book and put him through the wringer, as well as an emotionally unstable girl that your heart will bleed for. Noah and Emerson are such special characters, from the very beginning of the book their attraction to each other hooks the reader. Emily did such a beautiful job showcasing all of the emotions both the characters and the reader go through throughout this book. This is a romance that will fully wreck you and put you back together again. You HAVE to read it, you just have to. You Can Always Come Home releases next month on Nov 12, which gives you plenty of time to read Emerson’s big brother’s story before!⁣

I can’t lie, this week has been hard. There have been amazing things happening professionally and personally. I actually got baptized on November 5th! 🙏🏻❤️🔥 But I’ve been struggling. And so, my most recent post for Woman In The Word, is different than my previous ones.

I wrote this post mostly for me, processing through writing. But I’m inviting you into the struggle, because I need support, love and grace. And if you’re struggling with the same things, I’m here for you too. 🤍
