Welcome to Meg Ryder’s Cozy Corner

I’m Meg Ryder — a lifelong book lover, mystery enthusiast, and creator of small towns full of big secrets.

My stories are filled with charm, puzzles, found family, and of course… a clever feline or two. I write cozy mysteries that invite you to slow down, sip something warm, and follow the clues alongside strong, curious women.

When I’m not writing, I’m reading classic whodunits, baking muffins I shouldn’t eat all at once, or curled up with my rescue cat, Simba — who inspired the furry sidekick in my debut mystery, The Final Act.

Whether you’re here for a free mystery, to preview what’s coming next, or just to wander through a fictional small town, I’m glad you stopped by.
