Natalie R. Murphy
Award winning Author/Self-publishing Coach

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.
Follow me:

If "Do it scared" was
a person.



Pray, Trust & Believe!
