Mary “MM” Myers is a storyteller whose work continues to resonate deeply with readers drawn to narratives of faith, family, and perseverance. As a wife, mother, and grandmother to ten—along with several cherished “bonus” grandchildren—Mary’s life reflects the themes she writes about: enduring love, grace through adversity, and the joyful spirit of family life. Writing under her brand, MM Myers Books, she shares Christian adventure stories enriched with humor, heart, and valuable life lessons that transcend generations.
What makes Mary’s journey especially compelling is the resilience she demonstrates in overcoming personal obstacles. Legally blind and living with dyslexia, she continues to pursue her storytelling passion through voice-to-text tools and braille. These adaptations have not slowed her down but instead highlight her determination and resourcefulness. Mary embraces her challenges with humility, describing her ability to write as a gift from God, one she is committed to using to glorify Him.
“I honestly never thought I’d be a writer,” Mary says. “But God has a way of using even our weaknesses to shine His light. Everything I have—every little story I tell—is a gift from God. It’s all for His glory.”
Mary’s passion for storytelling began in childhood and was inspired by the magical tales her grandmother once shared. As she grew older, this love for narrative blossomed. She became the family storyteller, captivating her children and grandchildren with tales that blended faith, family, and a touch of adventure. Her stories are often co-created with her grandchildren, providing a multi-generational experience of creativity and shared purpose.
One of her recent books, The Pocket Watch Portal Adventure, was crafted with input from four of her grandchildren—Justice, Teddy, Ellie, and even baby Artie. It was written in honor of their father, a real-life hero, and stands as a heartfelt tribute to all the men and women serving the nation. “May God protect all our heroes serving all over the world,” she adds with reverence.
Mary’s approach to writing is rooted in storytelling, not authorship. She prefers to call herself an “old storyteller,” honoring the oral traditions passed down through generations in her family. Her work is never about personal accolades; rather, it’s about sharing the wonder of life’s journey through stories that make people laugh, think, and feel connected to something greater.
Mary’s digital presence has grown organically, reflecting her desire to connect meaningfully with her readers. Through her Facebook page, MM Myers Books, she shares story updates, moments from family life, and reflections that often include faith-based insights. Her posts are warm, grounded, and representative of the genuine relationships she values with her community.
On Instagram (@authormmmyers), Mary offers a more visual peek into her world—snapshots of her grandchildren, glimpses into her writing process, and personal milestones. These social media platforms are not promotional in the typical sense but serve as an extension of Mary’s storytelling mission: to uplift and share love through words and images.
Her website, grandmamyersbooks.com, acts as a central hub for her work. There, readers can explore her published books, learn about upcoming releases like The Grand Adventure: A Secret Unveiled, and even purchase her titles. The site provides context to her stories—offering insights into the creative and spiritual inspiration behind each one.
Despite her modesty, Mary’s stories have touched the lives of readers who have found hope, joy, and comfort in her work. Though she doesn’t highlight testimonials, she has received heartfelt messages from readers who were moved to laughter or healing through her books. Some have shared that her stories helped them momentarily escape physical or emotional pain, a testament to the quiet impact of her words.
Mary’s brand, MM Myers Books, is not positioned as a commercial enterprise but as a platform to share goodness. The stories she tells are expressions of love—often reflecting personal experiences, spiritual insights, and the voices of those closest to her. Her storytelling stands apart because of its authenticity, familial collaboration, and her reliance on faith as a central theme.
Unlike traditional authors focused on sales or recognition, Mary is content with her small but growing audience, especially when it includes her grandchildren gathered on the porch or around the dinner table. For her, those moments are the true reward. She hopes to continue writing, with God’s help, for as long as she’s able.
As she continues to write and publish new stories, Mary invites readers to join her on a journey that celebrates the beauty of everyday life, the strength of faith, and the joy of storytelling. Her voice is not one of commercial ambition but of a storyteller devoted to purpose, love, and God’s glory.
