Evelyn Exley (Evie to those who know her world) fell in love with mythic fantasy 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 most of her life seeing the world through a Coke-bottle-thick lens of metaphor and imagination. Her fascination with stories that impact the soul comes from her own need for it. That need has shaped both her life and her writing far more than any list of qualifications—which include being a licensed minister, a professional pianist and cinematic composer, and a published author. 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 changing culture through the divine work that takes place within. Her work has been recognized by several national and international book awards, including three Silver Medals in the 2026 Next Generation Indie Book Awards, and a Silver Medal and a Bronze Medal in the 2026 Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPY Awards). Her books have also been named finalists in seven categories of the 2026 International Book Awards and eight categories of the 2026 American Legacy Book Awards. In addition, she was selected for a featured author spotlight in the June 2026 edition of Kirkus Reviews magazine, an invitation extended to authors identified by the publication as having strong potential. She 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.
