Cozy Mysteries with a Touch of Magic
Welcome to villages where the tea is always warm, the neighbors know your secrets, and sometimes the local healer is actually a witch. Marian writes cozy mysteries set in Ireland—stories full of charm, community, a sprinkle of the paranormal, and just enough romance to keep things interesting.
Céad Míle Fáilte
A Hundred Thousand Welcomes
I’m Marian, and I write the kind of books I want to curl up with on a rainy afternoon—cozy mysteries set in the Ireland of my imagination, where villages are tight-knit, magic lingers at the edges, and there’s always time for a cup of tea (even during a murder investigation).
My stories blend mystery with a touch of the paranormal. You’ll find amateur sleuths, village gossip, ancient secrets, and yes—witches. The good kind, mostly. There’s also a whisper of romance, because even in the middle of solving a crime, the heart wants what it wants.
If you love cozy mysteries with Irish charm and a hint of the otherworldly, pull up a chair. You’re home.
What You'll Find in My Books
The Books
Stories to curl up with when the rain is falling and the kettle is on.
A brand new Irish cozy mystery series is about to be revealed!
Not much longer now…
Set in the Heart of Ireland
My stories take place in fictional Irish villages inspired by the real magic of the Irish countryside—places where the mist rolls in from the sea, ancient ruins hold secrets, and the line between the everyday and the extraordinary is thinner than you’d think.
You don’t need to have visited Ireland to feel at home in these pages. But you might find yourself looking up flights.
