Welcome to Your
Happily Ever After Headquarters!

 

 

My name is Natalie R. Murphy. The 'R' stands for romance junkie. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

I'm an award-winning romance author, self-publishing coach, and unapologetic romance junkie.

I'm also Nyla Drayke, the romantasy-writing alter ego. Nyla lets me take everything I love about romance and sprinkle a little magic and mythology on it. Basically, I’m still writing swoony love stories… I just gave them dragon wings.

If "Do it scared" was
a person.

Pray, Trust & Believe!
