❣️All You Need Is Love ❣️
"Awarded for its unapologetic LGBT story and characters, its believable slow-burn romance, and its genuinely likeable found-family cast. With tenderness, humour, and a hard-won happy ending, it offers contemporary queer romance with optimism that uses all of the best tropes."
My Muse -- Mr. Whiskers
Mr. Whiskers was my dad's cat, so I "inherited" this gorgeous tuxedo kitteh in 2020. He's such a sweet baby and always stays either beside me or at my feet while I'm writing. Highly recommend having a cat!

"This delicious journey of discovering both purpose and love in life takes place in Boho Ann Arbor. This fun read has wonderful characters and veers from sweet to bittersweet, ending on the sweet side while acknowledging that life has difficulties for everyone. An affirming and lovely read."
– Robin Agnew, Aunt Agatha's Mysteries
"All You Need Is Love allows readers to follow the characters on their journeys to find their place in the world as they look for love, sometimes in the wrong places. It’s an LGBTQA+ romance with all the drama and emotions that go into relationships today. No matter how you identify, the ending has a heartwarming message for everyone."
– Lori Caswell, Escape with Dollycas Reviews
"Jack and Jules are well developed characters who come to life on each page. My heart went out to them, but especially Jack… The supporting cast of characters are, also, well-written and complex. This book has it all from drama to romance to suspense. It’s all rolled up into one captivating story."
– Socrates Book Reviews
"I really enjoyed the fresh, character-driven story... The mix of romance, friendship, and suspense kept things moving, and I appreciated how distinct and real all the characters felt. It’s a thoughtful, low-key read that explores love, queerness, and chosen family in a welcoming small-town setting."
– Amanda Winter, Goodreads
"Meg Macy puts her characters through the wringer as they look for love In between starting a new restaurant; overcoming rough personal histories; and dealing with homophobia, vandalism, and stalking. It’s a modern take on romance, with a triumphant ending that satisfies without feeling forced. I thoroughly enjoyed the perfectly imperfect lovers."
– Leigh Perry, the Skeleton Mystery series
"This is a well-written novel with multiple points of view woven together expertly. Each of the characters is an individual with a distinct personality, which is great after reading so many "cardboard cutouts" in romance novels."
– J.E.S. Hayes, author of Outlaw Security
"Loved Jack and Jules and seeing them get their cafe going and I was happy to see Reese and Jack work on building their relationship. The mystery of the attacks on the cafe and the multiple possibilities of their perpetrator(s) made for a great story that was well woven into the romance plot."
– Ida Umphers, Goodreads
"I really love both Jack and Jules in this story – and I could easily imagine it as a TV show. Characters and plot are engaging and I will be back for Book 2. Looking to ease your way into 2026? You can’t go wrong with All You Need is Love from Meg Macy."

🐾 But wait, there’s more brewing…
While All You Need Is Love and Love Me Do settles into readers' hearts, I’ve also been dusting off a special project that’s close to mine: a cozy mystery novella I wrote a few years ago—and I hope to finish it this year.
Introducing:
A New Setting – Mariner’s Pointe on the St. Clair River!
Meet Nell Hanson and Claire Richardson—"ace" life partners and proud residents of the charming riverside town of Mariner’s Pointe. When the chef of the local Ambrosia Cafe is murdered, the owner becomes the prime suspect, Nell and Claire decide to clear their friend's name. The victim's boyfriend seems to fit the bill as a killer , but finding evidence to prove his innocence won't be as easy as making a specialty omelet on the cafe's menu.
