This is a demonstration of what your blog could look like. I like the smell of boat engines. I see sun sparkling off the water. My fingers trace the warm sand. I like the smell of vinegar on chips. I hear waves lapping on the shore. I see kites flying.

My fingers trace the sharp barnacles. I like the smell of boat engines. I hear boat masts clanking. I like the smell of salt on the wind. I love the sugary fluff of candy floss. I see boats bobbing up and down. My fingers trace the rough rocks. I see people crabbing. I like the smell of vinegar on chips.

I see boats bobbing up and down. My fingers trace the rough rocks. I see people crabbing. I like the smell of vinegar on chips.

My fingers trace the smoothed lump of driftwood. I like the smell of salt on the wind. I love the tang of a citrus ice lolly. My fingers trace the warm sand. I see paddle-boarders falling into the water. I hear the blowing up of inflatables. I see toddlers finding shells. My fingers trace patterns in the cold water.

My fingers trace the warm sand.

I love the sandy sandwiches. I like the smell of suncream. I hear waves crashing on the rocks. I like the smell of seaweed. My fingers trace the smoothed lump of driftwood.

I love the fizzy bubbles in the cold coke.

I’m a lifelong lover of gardens, stories, and the quiet magic that happens when the two come together.

Before I became a novelist, I worked as a landscape architect, designing outdoor spaces where people could slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature. I spent my days sketching garden beds, choosing perennials, studying soil and sunlight, and imagining how a space would change through the seasons. There’s something deeply satisfying about planting something small and watching it grow into something beautiful. In many ways, writing novels feels the same.

My cozy mysteries are rooted—quite literally—in the world I know best: gardens, greenhouses, flower shops, and the communities that grow around them.

landscape architect turned novelist.

Hi, I'm Birdie McBraeden.
