Cozy Mysteries

Small sized DELICIOUS  SUSPICIOUS cover I was a huge fan of cozy mysteries long before I ever sat down to write one. What exactly are cozy mysteries and how does one go about writing one? Please pop over to DJs Krimiblog today, where I’m visiting my Danish friend, Dorte and posting “How to Cook Up a Cozy.”

Plus—my July 6th release is just weeks away! Click here for my book release contest. Entering is easy. :)

    It’s a cool cover you have there, Elizabeth; nice contrast between the peaceful, friendly restaurant and the poison bottle on the table. It’s like the hook is on the cover. I guess the book will sell like ice cream in Hell and glühwein in Heaven, to make a fortune for the author >:)

    That was a great interview and explanation of a “cozy.” I thought Sue Grafton’s alphabet mysteries would be there, and I was right. I love Kinsey!

    Thanks so much, y’all!

    And thanks for the compliments on the cover. :) Berkley’s art department does a great job, I think–they have the cozy scene with the little dash of danger added.

    And Mary–I love Grafton’s books, too!
