Maggi Andersen creëert avonturenverhalen doordrenkt van sensuele romantiek, geïnspireerd door haar vroege literaire verkenningen. Haar verhalen uit het Regency-tijdperk zijn gevormd door klassieke literaire figuren, terwijl haar gotische Victoriaanse mysteries de stijlen van andere genremeesters weerspiegelen. Ze duikt ook in hedendaagse romantische spanning en jeugdfictie. Dieren bevolken regelmatig haar verhalen, wat haar diepe betrokkenheid bij dierenwelzijnsorganisaties weerspiegelt.
