Gabrielle’s mission as an author is twofold: to write Christian fiction that uplifts and glorifies God, and to spark a love of history in her readers. She is most moved when readers tell her they’ve sought out the historical sources she lists in the back of her books—proof that her stories have stirred a deeper interest in the past. Her hope is to reach readers who may not have loved history before but are drawn in by her characters and compelled to learn more. That goal continues to guide her work, including her popular Timeless series. Fans can look forward to Book Seven, which is already in the works and promises more heart, history, and unexpected twists.

When asked if she prefers a quiet writing environment or music in the background, she smiled and said she always writes with the sound of her family around her. Gabrielle writes from a home that is anything but quiet—and she wouldn’t have it any other way. Her family’s presence is woven into every book she writes. Whether it’s using her children’s traits as inspiration for characters, gathering their input during brainstorming sessions, or conducting research alongside them while homeschooling, Gabrielle sees her writing as a family affair. They’ve even traveled together to visit key locations for her books. The sounds of laughter, conversations, and even the family pets provide a comforting backdrop to her creative process.

Gabrielle Meyer approaches each book with thoughtful planning and purpose. Long before she begins typing, she spends months brainstorming, researching, and outlining—often listening to nonfiction audiobooks and diving deep into historical timelines. She works out her stories much like an architect follows blueprints: laying down the structure, scene by scene, until the story is ready to be built. Once her timeline is set and the plot—complete with its twist—is firmly in place, Gabrielle writes quickly, often completing a 30-chapter book in about a month. At any given time, she’s juggling multiple stories in various stages of development. Another unique part of her process is creating visual representations of her characters. Often using an actress or real person as a reference, Gabrielle designs original images to match the people she sees in her imagination. It’s a creative outlet she enjoys just as much as writing and one that helps her engage readers on social media while celebrating the characters she’s brought to life.
