Marcie Gourley is a licensed professional counselor with a master’s degree in professional counseling. Her lifelong compassion for people, combined with a passion for history, America, and faith, began in childhood. Her father often took her and her sisters to historical sites, graveyards, and political events, instilling in them a deep pride in their American heritage.

That early love of history and people has grown into a calling to share the stories that shaped our nation and inspire future generations. Marcie has served as the coordinator of American Christian Fiction Writers’ Pennsylvania chapter and co-founded a women’s ministry. For this ministry, she wrote articles, participated in radio spots and interviews, and spoke at various events. Her writing, stories, and devotionals have been featured on radio programs and on college campuses across the country. Her clinical research on counseling is applied in everyday life, focusing on clinical help, curriculum development, and court reports.

Marcie and her husband, Ed, have five adult children and reside in Pennsylvania.
