MARGARET "MAGGIE" HAWTHORNE

Margaret “Maggie” Hawthorne is a blend of nostalgia and New England charm—part dreamer, part pragmatist. With her silver-gray hair styled in soft waves and her hazel eyes sparkling with curiosity, Maggie carries an air of timeless elegance. Her petite frame, wrapped in cozy sweaters and vintage scarves, hints at both her resilience and romantic spirit.

Maggie’s passion for storytelling is her superpower. Whether weaving tales inspired by her free-spirited youth or penning heartfelt reflections on love and loss, she captivates readers with warmth, humor, and depth. From moonlit walks along the coast to cups of tea shared over old photo albums, Maggie’s world is as vivid and layered as her stories.

Maggie’s journey began in the 1970s, dancing at underground clubs, hitchhiking through small towns, and falling in love with poets and musicians. Eventually, she settled into a quieter life on the rocky shores of Maine, where she married Richard, a lighthouse keeper. After his passing, Maggie turned her memories into stories, capturing the beauty of second chances and enduring love.

Her books transport readers to quaint towns and windswept shores, where mysteries unfold and hearts heal. Maggie’s writing mirrors her life—full of charm, nostalgia, and a touch of mischief—proving that every chapter is worth exploring.

 Special Touches 

 Maggie’s life is filled with meaningful details. She keeps love letters and Polaroids from her youth tucked in a drawer and decorates her home with stained-glass lamps and seashells collected during long walks. Her writing nook, overlooking the ocean, is her sanctuary—a place where inspiration flows as freely as the tide.Quirks like quoting Angela Lansbury’s Jessica Fletcher and baking lavender cookies for her book club make Maggie a memorable presence. Her cat, Oliver Twist, often curls up nearby as she writes, serving as both companion and critic. 

• “Life is like the sea—sometimes calm, sometimes stormy, but always worth charting.”
• “The best stories are the ones we don’t have to admit are true.”
• “Mystery and romance are closer cousins than you think. Both make you chase answers you’re not ready to find.”
