Debby Mayne

Debby Mayne writes family-centered fiction, faith-based romance, cozy mysteries, and women's fiction, often drawing on Southern settings and comic family friction. Fit to Be Tied, published by Gilead in 2018, is the second Bucklin Family Reunion novel. It returns to the newly wealthy Bucklin relatives as business plans, courtship, and another crowded gathering test their loyalties. The shortened form Love Finds You in Treasure Isla refers to Love Finds You in Treasure Island, Florida, Mayne's 2009 Summerside novel about bicycle-shop owner Amanda Burns and visitor Jerry Simpson. That earlier book belongs to the location-based Love Finds You line and uses Florida's Gulf Coast as its setting. Across both works, Mayne gives family obligations as much weight as romance, building stories from relatives who interfere, support, and occasionally misunderstand one another. Her extensive bibliography includes more than sixty novels and novellas, but these titles show two distinct series contexts rather than one continuing narrative.
