About

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

Her stories are set in welcoming towns filled with charming settings, strong friendships, and emotionally satisfying romances. From light touches of magical realism to reflective, later-in-life love stories, Mary’s books celebrate fresh starts, enduring connections, and the quiet courage it takes to turn the page and begin again.

She is the author of the Maple Ridge series, known for its feel-good vibes, quirky characters, and swoon-worthy romance, and the Blackbird Springs series, perfect for fans of Gilmore Girls, Virgin River, and the magical heart of Sarah Addison Allen.

Her newest series, The Next Chapter, explores love, reinvention, and second chances later in life, proving that some of the most meaningful stories begin after everything else has already been written.

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