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
Sapphic paranormal mysteries set in small-town Oregon, where the ordinary and the extraordinary sit at the same kitchen table. A librarian who reads the past off the things people leave behind, a detective who doesn’t believe her, and a town with a century of secrets in the ground.
The Willowmere Mysteries
A sapphic paranormal 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.
