Mary Alford was inspired to become a writer after reading romantic suspense greats Victoria Holt and Phyllis Whitney. Soon creating characters and throwing them into dangerous situations that test their faith came naturally for Mary. In 2012 Mary entered the Speed Dating contest hosted by Love Inspired Suspense and later received the call. Writing for Love Inspired Suspense has been a dream come true for Mary.

Mary Alford recommends
The Garden Girls (2024)
Jessica R Patch
"Riveting! Jessica R. Patch has created an immaculate psychological thriller. Well-written characters and a plot that sizzles and crackles with danger made this story impossible for me to put down, and yet I didn't want it to end... it's that good. The Garden Girls will leave you breathless."
Cold Light of Day (2023)
(Missing in Alaska, book 1)
Elizabeth Goddard
"A simmering romantic suspense with an explosive ending. Once more Goddard proves she is a master storyteller and deserving of her place as one of the best Christian romantic suspense authors of our time."
