Join Elizabeth for a great conversation with Marysol James, a remarkably prolific self-published romance author with 31 books across six bestselling series who discovered her writing career by happy accident.

Marysol's journey includes not only impressive literary success spanning cowboys to motorcycle bikers, but also a powerful personal story of healing and rebuilding her life after an abusive relationship derailed her writing.

Meet Marysol James:

Marysol James was a best-selling romance writer when she met and fell in love with a man who offered her a future worthy of one of her books… but within two years of moving in with him, she had lost everything that she’d worked for. She was abused emotionally, psychologically, physically, and financially. She was isolated and manipulated and gaslighted, until she was convinced by a narcissist that everything was her fault.

She managed to leave the relationship 18 months ago, and has spent that time reclaiming her life, her dignity, her sanity, and her independence. She has returned to romance writing and has done extensive research – with a therapist specialised in narcissistic trauma - and has taken her horrible experience, and created a 90-day program called ‘It Happens To The Best Of Us’.

The program is aimed at high-achieving women, and it teaches the red flags and realities of being in a romantic relationship with a narcissist. It explains the patterns and behaviours of narcissism, and shows you how to reclaim your power and your peace. The program launch date is Saturday, April 5.
