Elaine Von Majern

Elaine Von Majern is the author of intuition-driven cozy mysteries set in atmospheric coastal towns where nothing is as tranquil as it seems. With a background as a Marriage and Family Therapist, she brings emotional depth and psychological nuance to her characters—women who navigate identity, grief, relationships, and the quiet resilience required to chart their own path.

Elaine writes from a place of curiosity and compassion, inspired by years of providing therapy, cultural exploration, motherhood, and spiritual learning. A tea enthusiast with a fascination for tarot archetypes, she infuses her storytelling with symbolism, small-town intrigue, and sleuths who rely on instinct as much as evidence.

Before becoming a therapist and author, Elaine spent 14 years as a restaurant owner, drawing culinary inspiration from her late mother, whose recipes shaped her palate and sense of heritage. Today, food remains central in her storytelling—an emotional anchor, a comfort, and a celebration of where we come from.

Elaine’s work invites readers into a world of gentle suspense, warmth, intuition, and a reminder that healing—and solving mysteries—sometimes begins with a question asked at the right moment.
