Evelyn M. Exley, Evie to those who know her world, fell in love with stories as early as age five, when her minister father had her tested and discovered she was reading over two hundred words per minute. Seeing the need to feed her thirsty young mind, he placed epic fantasy books, most of them beyond her comprehension, in her hands. She likes to say she has lived much of her life seeing the world through a Coke-bottle-thick lens of metaphor and imagination. Her stories range from sweeping mythic worlds to the heart of everyday life, but all explore the deeper meaning beneath human experience.

Her fascination with stories that impact the soul comes from her own need for them. That need has shaped both her life and her writing far more than any list of qualifications, which include being a licensed minister, professional pianist, cinematic composer, and award-winning author. In 2026 alone, her work has been recognized by multiple national and international book awards, including medal placements in the Independent Publisher Book Awards and Next Generation Indie Book Awards, First Place for Novella in the American Fiction Awards, and 21 finalist honors across major literary award programs. She has also been featured in Kirkus Reviews magazine and interviewed by IndieReader and BookView Review.

In all of her creative work, Evie seeks to use imagery with intention, believing that art can teach the heart without preaching and heal the soul without patronizing, ultimately helping change culture through the divine work that takes place within.

Evie resides with her husband in the Southeastern United States in a musical and somewhat magical house, where conversation is often full of talk about real-life legends, fantasy stories, and other timeless tales.
