Naomi Greer is the pen name of a New England author. Her illustrated portrait reflects the warm, mysterious seaside worlds she creates. She writes atmospheric cozy mysteries and romantic cozy mysteries filled with old houses, family secrets, treasured traditions, good food, second chances—and unforgettable dogs, both great and small.

Most mornings begin with a cup of chai and a fresh page for plotting, drafting, or following an unexpected clue. Time spent drawing, painting, and walking near the water often finds its way into Naomi’s fictional coastal communities of Butternut Cove and Sycamore Harbor.

Her Butternut Cove Mystery series follows café owner Faye Harper, whose gift for noticing what others overlook repeatedly draws her into the secrets beneath her town’s welcoming surface. Alongside trusted friends—and Tiny, her watchful brindle Great Dane—Faye untangles fair-play puzzles shaped by family history, long-held loyalties, hidden motives, and the complicated meaning of home.

The series began with Fowl Play & Figgy Pudding, a Christmas mystery in which holiday preparations, an opinionated goose, and a troubling death disturb the festivities in Butternut Cove.

With Christmas Foiled Plans, Naomi opens the door to Sycamore Harbor and a new series of romantic cozy mysteries. Event planner Jess Ryan and her tiny poodle, Bella, are drawn into a Christmas investigation that brings Jess back into the orbit of Andy Wurth—her childhood best friend and the man she never quite forgot. The story pairs a fair-play mystery with a tender second-chance romance while keeping coastal atmosphere, close-knit community, and the enduring meaning of home at the heart of Naomi’s books.
