Brianna R. MacMahon | A Multi-Award-Winning Indie Author

A Little Bit About Me

My name is Brianna Riley MacMahon. I hold a master's degree in political science, which I attained from Syracuse University. (Go Orange!) I have been writing since I was a kid, but during the pandemic, I decided to try my hand at writing as a legitimate career. Do I still feel like a fraud from time to time? Of course. I don't think that ever goes away. But day by day, I'm gaining confidence!

When I'm not writing, I love to hang out with my family, read, go for long walks, play RPGs (big Star Wars, Fallout, and Elder Scrolls fan), and watch my favorite comfort shows on repeat.

Check out my most active socials below, and give me a follow if you so choose! (No pressure! But really, you'd be missing out! I tend to post lots of really cool stuff, so...)

This is where the fun begins!

My Books & Genres

I am a multi-award-winning indie author. I have two book series that are wildly different from each other. How wildly different? Well . . .

On the Precipice genres: political thriller, science fiction, and adult. WINNER of the 2024 Readers' Favorite Bronze Medal for the category Fiction - Thriller - Political.

The Great Dempseys genres: young adult romance, new adult romance, family saga, and coming-of-age. WINNER of the 2025 Literary Titan Gold Book Award. WINNER of the 2025 Reader Views Bronze Medal for Young Adult (16+) Fiction. FINALIST in the 19th Annual National Indie Excellence Awards for the Romance Genre.

If you love stories with deep world-building, flawed characters, snippy dialogue, and immersive storytelling, then I just may be the author you have been looking for!
