Emily A. Myers is an award-winning author of romantic suspense. Her first novel, The Truth About Unspeakable Things, was a First Place winner for the Chanticleer International Book Awards (CIBA) Clue Award (2021) for suspense/ thriller fiction. The Truth About Unspeakable Things was also a finalist for the CIBA Chatelaine Award (2021) for romance and a semi-finalist for the Somerset Award (2021) for contemporary fiction.

Emily followed up her stellar debut with the sequel Bound by the Unspeakable, completing the Unspeakable duet and releasing her first mafia romance, Mine to Protect, in December of 2022.

In January of 2024, Emily released her first poetry collection, I Still Have Love to Give. The collection is like a wine night with your bestie--raw, emotional, conversational, inspirational, and helpful. The poems and personal essays discuss her struggles with overcoming heartbreak post-divorce and re-entering the dating scene. It also includes a heartbreak survival guide with tons of big-sis advice for those going through the same things. 
 
When not writing, Emily enjoys traveling, devouring the latest Netflix series, and scouring the shelves of Sephora. To keep up with her, you can find her on all social media platforms @emilymyersauthor
