Debbie Macomber Books in Order (Cedar Cove, Blossom Street, Heart of Texas, Manning Family…)
Debbie Macomber is a best-selling American author known for her romance novels – she also writes contemporary women’s fiction – who published her first book, Starlight, in 1983. Since then, she wrote more than 150 books, some have even become made-for-TV movies and the Cedar Cove series of novels was adapted into a television series by the Hallmark Channel.
A lot of those novels are taking place in small, rural towns inspired by her hometown, Port Orchard, Washington. Even if she became known for her romance novels, Debbie Macomber now focuses more on women and their friendships. She likes to write about optimistic women and to leave the readers with “a feeling of hope and happy expectation.”
