Debbie Macomber

Debbie Macomber has written 92 books across 12 series. Start with Legendary Lovers.

Debbie Macomber is one of the most commercially successful authors in contemporary romance, with more than 200 million copies of her books in print. A self-described 'dyslexic housewife' who began writing on a rented typewriter at her kitchen table, she broke through in the 1980s and has since built her career around cozy, community-centered series set in small towns and tight-knit neighborhoods — Cedar Cove, on Washington State's Puget Sound, and Blossom Street, centered on a Seattle knitting shop, are her two best-known. Her books favor warmth over grit: ensemble casts, faith and family themes, and plots that resolve into comfort rather than shock. Macomber's Cedar Cove series was adapted into the Hallmark Channel television series Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove, which ran for three seasons and helped introduce her work to an even wider audience. She has also written extensively under the Mrs. Miracle brand, a series of holiday-themed novels and television movies about a mysterious housekeeper who mends broken families, and has published nonfiction on knitting and faith. A regular at the top of the New York Times bestseller list for decades, Macomber remains one of the defining voices of feel-good, small-town American romance, with new titles continuing to appear regularly.
