ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hi, I’m Maggie.
The things that I love most in this world involve community, a good book, and excellent food. That’s why I write funny, low-stakes cozy fantasy filled with magical towns, found family, excellent food, and people who are perhaps a little too old to still be getting into this much trouble.

Whimsical Fantasy for Cozy Readers
Fantasy books for readers who want a little less doom and a little more dinner.

A Little About Me
Hi! I’m Maggie O’Connor, a cozy fantasy author, professional ghostwriter, and firm believer that every good story is improved by a warm drink and something delicious to eat.
Before publishing books under my own name, I spent years working as a professional ghostwriter, helping other people bring their stories to life. Eventually, I decided it was time to start telling a few worlds of my own.
Now I write cozy fantasy filled with magical little towns, found family, good food, great drinks, and people who are usually trying their best … even when their best involves accidental arson, questionable magic, or minor criminal activity.
I live in a little camper in Oregon with my husband and our two orange cats, where most mornings involve hot tea, rain on the roof, and at least one cat interfering with the writing process.
Around here, you can expect cozy books, fantasy-inspired recipes, and plenty of excuses to make yourself a snack and stay awhile.
Good food. Great drinks. Excellent literature.

Come Stay Awhile
I write books for readers who like their fantasy with a little less impending doom and a little more dinner.
