Marline Williams
Groovy, sweet-yet-swoony Christian romance
Meet Marline
There’s plenty of trouble and turmoil in the real world, so I offer readers a wholesome, heartfelt escape with a happily-ever-after.
My upbeat, offbeat, faith-soaked romances are set in the swingin’ ’60s and funkadelic ’70s (with occasion trips to the nifty ’50s). These sweet-yet-swoony stories go deep, but not dark. All the feels without the freakouts.
These are the kind of books you don’t want to end because you’ve fallen in love with the authentic, imperfect characters and enjoyed every minute of their journey.
In a former life (no, not the Pharaoh’s daughter kind of past life), I was an advertising copywriter/editor, which, when you think about it, is perfect training for crafting fiction. When not writing, I’m usually thinking about writing and consequently burning dinner.

All Men Are Liars
Pick up your copy today at Amazon–Kindle, KU, and paperback.
It’s 1973 and freshman “dateless” Dana Whitman’s get-a-guy strategy means fitting in at her stuffy Christian college. This fake-out requires squelching her Jesus freaky ways and swapping her funky bell-bottoms for conservative threads. Falling for the devilishly handsome campus wolf was definitely not part of the plan. When temptation feels like true love, will Dana betray her newfound faith or her free-spirited heart?
BIG NEWS! All Men Are Liars has just been awarded a Christlit Book Award for 2025! I’m thrilled at this honor!
