Meet Coco McQ, a storyteller whose life has unfolded across continents as a military daughter, wife, and mom — experiences that breathe depth, place, and soul into every story she writes. Though she has lived and worked around the world, Coco now calls the rugged Oregon coast home, where salty breezes, wild landscapes, and sunsets over the Pacific fuel her imagination.
A country girl at heart, Coco carries a lifelong love of critters, hard work, and wide-open spaces. Her stories reflect a rich tapestry of rural and urban life, moments of quiet resilience, the strength of ordinary people, and the courage found in everyday faith.
Raised in a family of born storytellers — led by a father whose tall tales could captivate any room — Coco learned early the magic of narrative, the power of connection, and the beauty of shaping a story that lingers long after the last page.
✨ Meet Coco at the Scottsdale Book Festival, and step into a world built from lived experience, wonder, and a heart full of stories.
