Alison O'Mara
Welcome reader to my author page.
I am an author, horse lover, and avid reader of all varieties of fiction, but particularly mysteries, adventure, historical fiction, and good old fashioned love stories. I have recently completed my second novel, First Comes Baby, a cozy romantic comedy. I’m regularly plotting future writing projects when not at my day job. In the meantime, I continue to read as much as possible and plan to occasionally blog about my favorite reads. Thanks for stopping by!

D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Review (Review of First Comes Baby)
"First Comes Baby is the rom-com new moms, single parents and baby lovers have been waiting for! ... Clever scene transitions abound, creating a sense of beautiful continuity and connectivity between Scott and Ella in this sweet, cuddly novel."
"I give this novel 5 stars! This cozy is excellently edited and checks off all my boxes for a good read...I recommend this book especially to animal lovers and folks familiar in any way with the horse community."
"For those who love all things equestrian mixed with suspense, Catch Handle from author Alison O’Mara is an unpredictable and addictive read. Patiently crafted as a classic murder mystery, with the bold and fearless Vivian as the protagonist at its heart, this book dances between genres, from romance and pastoral narrative to heart-pounding thriller. The storytelling is rich and the attention to detail makes the story immersive. Catch Handle is a quick and enjoyable read – an engaging tale that will have you racing to the last page."
Cemented by strong characters, a sense of place and community, and a love of animals and mystery alike, Catch Handle is a cozy mystery highly recommended for readers who like their mysteries surprising, their protagonist all too human and vulnerable, and their stories multifaceted and engaging.
