Maggie McGuinness

Greetings from paradise

Thanks for dropping by. 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 and best friend is a rescue dog called Tilly, an Australian cattledog cross, who is very cute and stars in lots of my Instagram photos – see below!

Besides novels, I also write a journal about life here in Mallacoota and other random snippets, which can be found here.

After the Black Summer bushfires devastated our town on New Year’s Eve 2019, I worked in the community-led recovery space, spending more than four years supporting MADRA – the Mallacoota and District Recovery Association. It was a privilege to work beside the amazing volunteers on the committee and play a part in Mallacoota’s recovery. I’m also a freelance writer, copy editor and proofreader and I volunteer on local radio: 3MGB, your voice in the Wilderness!

I love being a part of the indie author community, and I’m hoping that one day I’ll be living the dream – spending most of my days working on my own books, while wearing pjs and drinking far too much coffee. That would be bliss!

My books are available from Amazon worldwide, and the ebooks are available through Kindle Unlimited. See my Amazon author page here.

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, the timing’s all wrong, and nothing seems to make any sense. But will the magic of Mirrabooka bring Juliet and Finn together?

A slow-burn love story, Mirrabooka Magic is a 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.
