Mara Purl is the best-selling author of the Milford-Haven Novels & Novellas, which have won more than 95 book awards and become #1 bestsellers on multiple lists. Her serial novels are uniquely structured to suit new media formats and stand-alone novellas and novelettes enhance her saga.
Mara pioneered small-town fiction for women with her popular and critically acclaimed series. She has a loyal following in the Women’s Fiction genre, and has become a spokeswoman both for authors and for readers of Women’s Fiction.
The series now includes four novels, four adventure novellas, three holiday novellas, and a paranormal novella, with more books underway.
The series includes four pathways for you to enjoy. You may read them in chronological order, or separately, as you wish.
– The Novels include the Prequel and the Pentalogy, six full length books that tell the core, original story of Milford-Haven.
– The Adventure Novellas are stand-alones featuring painter Miranda Jones on her wildlife painting assignments.
– The Holiday Novellas are stand-alones taking place during the holidays.
– The Paranormal Novellas follow the investigative journalist Christine Christian who, along with Deputy Delmar Johnson, uncover the mystery that flows like a dangerous current at the edges of Milford-Haven.
Mara’s book tour, “Mapping the Journey of Your Heart” took her through California, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico, and her concurrent national blog tour reached 17 million followers.
Her beloved fictitious town has been delighting audiences since 1992, when it made its debut as Milford-Haven, U.S.A. – the first American radio drama ever licensed and broadcast by the BBC. The show reached an audience of 4.5 million listeners throughout the U.K.
Early editions of the Milford-Haven Novels about her beloved coastal town were first published in 1997, and were soon followed by other authors in her Women’s Fiction genres: Cedar Cove in 2001, Chesapeake Shores in 2003, and Virgin River in 2007.
Mara loves connecting with and supporting fellow authors particularly in her favorite genre!
