Carolina ConspiracyAnd it was a sad week for cozy mystery lovers.  Joyce Lavene, who wrote cozies with her husband Jim, suddenly passed away this past week. They have about a dozen mystery series written under a variety of different names.  Joyce was a great writer and a good friend.  They live close by and I considered Joyce a mentor… she helped me jump start my writing career about ten years ago.  My thoughts are with Jim and his family.  Joyce will be missed.
