The Author
Melody McGinn
Cozy fantasy author. Tea drinker. Keeper of fictional inns and far too many half-finished notebooks.
A Few Words
Melody McGinn writes cozy fantasy — stories where the stakes are small, the hearts are full, and the magic is mostly the kind you make by lighting a lamp and deciding to stay. She is the author of The Waykeep Inn series, which began with The Inn at the Edge of Winter and continues through What is Kept by Letting Go and The Center is Where You Stand.
Her books are for readers who want to come home — who'd rather spend a winter learning someone's name than saving the world. She writes about belonging, found family, and the stubborn, ordinary courage of keeping a place open for other people.
When she isn't writing, she's probably reorganizing a bookshelf, over-steeping something, or staring out a window at the first snow and calling it research.
“I write the stories I wish I could walk into. Warm, a little worn, and always with a chair left empty for whoever shows up next.”
