About
MC Smith is a debut author who has carried stories around in his head since he was a kid—whole worlds, characters, plots that played out like movies behind his eyes. For years, he never thought about putting any of it on paper.
What changed was watching his sister, a journalism major, do the thing he’d always admired from a distance: write. Her work showed him that the stories in his head could become something real, something other people could hold in their hands and get lost in.
What I Write
Stories that blur the line between the ordinary and the extraordinary—from sapphic paranormal cozy mysteries set in small-town Oregon to speculative literary fiction that asks what your life would look like if you’d made different choices. Every book explores the tension between who we are and who we might have been.
The Willowmere Mysteries
A sapphic paranormal cozy mystery series set in Willowmere, Oregon, following psychometric librarian Sophie Huang and detective Cameron Walsh as they uncover the dark secrets buried beneath a quiet Pacific Northwest town. More mysteries are on the way.
