About

Mary Walden writes cozy small-town romance and heartfelt women’s fiction about second chances, community, friendship, and finding love at every stage of life.

Her books are set in welcoming towns filled with charming settings, memorable characters, strong friendships, and emotionally satisfying romance. From cozy love stories and gentle touches of magical realism to reflective later-in-life fiction, Mary’s stories celebrate fresh starts, enduring connections, found family, and the courage to begin again.

She is the author of the Maple Ridge series, known for its feel-good small-town charm, quirky characters, and swoon-worthy romance; the Blackbird Springs series, which blends community, romance, and a touch of magic; the Candlewick Mill series, featuring cozy later-in-life Christmas romances; and The Next Chapter series, which explores love, reinvention, friendship, and second chances later in life.

When she isn’t writing, Mary spends her time walking in the forest and dreaming up new stories while her sassy cat supervises from a sunny window.
