Hello, I’m Maggie McGuinness and I write romance and romcom novels .
I live in the bottom right-hand corner of Australia in a remote coastal town called Mallacoota, often called ‘paradise’ by those of us lucky enough to live here. My housemate is a neurotic but lovable rescue dog called Tilly, an Australian cattle dog cross who is a bundle of cuteness and trouble. I also have two young-adult offspring who love to visit, especially when it’s beach weather.
Besides novels, I also write some ‘Other Stuff’, when the mood strikes, which can be found here. I’m not calling this a blog, because my approach is far too random. I’ve realised it’s more fun to just post ‘stuff’ when I feel like it!
I am a freelance writer, copy editor and proofreader, and you can find out more about my freelance work by visiting my Word Wise Writing and Editing website.
I love being a part of the indie author community, and I’m hoping that one day I’ll be living the dream – that is, spending most of my days working on my own books. That would be bliss!
Mirrabooka Magic: Sweet romance under Australian skies
She’s had it with cities – and the men who live in them.
He’s a city dweller, through and through.
And then two worlds collide.
Their lives are too different, and the timing’s all wrong – nothing about the persistent attraction between Juliet and Finn seems to make any sense. But will the magic of Mirrabooka bring them together?
A true slow-burn love story, Mirrabooka Magic is a clean and sweet romance set in the unspoiled beauty of the Australian coastal wilderness. Perfect for lovers of small-town and rural fiction, the story is a celebration of the important things in life: love and laughter, family and friendship, the beauty of the ocean – and the loyalty of a good dog.
Planet Single: Looking for love – take two! A romantic comedy
“The night I landed on Planet Single, I had no idea I was about to blast off from the familiar married landscape. If I’d known, I could have packed a few essentials like some nicer undies, a dating guidebook and a much thicker skin, but I didn’t have the chance. I was dumped – defenceless – into a strange new world.”
Relatable, quirky, and seriously funny, Planet Single is an Australian romantic comedy about starting over after divorce. Join Katerina as she sets off to create a new life, meeting a succession of dodgy dates, two contrary inner voices, a handsome detective, and a whole tribe of young and sexy colleagues. Who knew selling stationery could be so much fun?
Get ready for an emotional rollercoaster ride of dating adventure, laugh-out-loud humour, and heart-wrenching moments. Will Kat ever find what she’s looking for?
My books are available from Amazon worldwide, and the ebooks are available through Kindle Unlimited. See my Amazon author page here.
Meanwhile, I’m busy trying to not disappoint the squirrel. Mirrabooka Sweet Romance Book 2 is underway!
