If we haven’t met before, here’s the skinny on me:

USA Today Bestselling Author Magdalena Scott writes sweet romance and romantic women’s fiction. A lifelong resident of Small Town America, she invites readers into her world to find out what’s hidden just below the surface of those tiny dots barely visible on the map. Romance, mystery, and the journey to be one’s best self are all part of a day in her neighborhood. Readers have commented that they’d like to move to the imaginary towns Magdalena writes about, which she takes as high praise indeed.

Magdalena is a practicing minimalist, having downsized from a 3,000 square foot house to a studio apartment, where her Giant Closet continues to resist taming. When not writing at home or spending time with family and friends, she loves to travel–carry-on baggage only–and is always pleasantly surprised at the kindness of strangers.

I currently have two series of small-town romance for you.

Please click on the Serendipity tab for my series set in Serendipity, Indiana. These books are about the Standish family (and friends), their Christmas tree farm, and the little town in Indiana where things are never quite what they seem–in a good way! Each Serendipity tale ends with a reminder of the magic of Love that’s often dismissed as coincidence.

All of the Serendipity stories are sweet romance, also known as heartwarming or wholesome.

Please click on the Legend tab for my McClain titles set in the beautiful foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. Each book features a McClain as either the main hero or heroine. McClains can be stubborn and overbearing, but deep down they’re all about family and community. What’s not to love?

The McClains stories are G to PG-rated. We like to say they have just enough spice, but the lid’s still on the jar.

Also here on the website are links to resources for writers, for widows, and for folks interested in simplifying their lives.

I hope you’ll find something on your visit here to make your world a little brighter. Please do stop by again!
