Embracing the Busy Days Prior to Christmas
My blog posts have thinned out during the days leading up to Christmas. My work-in-progress has been my second small town cozy mystery, this one titled Bermuda Canard, due to appear in 2012. I'm doing the final edits for Bermuda Canard. Readers liked the debut title in the series, Quiet Anchorage.
A cozy mystery is a change of gears for me. The writing style more closely follows the stories I wrote and sold to the Dorchester TRUE ladies magazines a couple of years ago. I like the two senior lady sleuths, Alma and Isabel Trumbo, who're based on my late aunts. It's been fun for me, and I hope that fun comes through in the writing and storyline.

How Cozy Do You Like Your Mysteries?
Right now I'm doing the final edits on the second title in my small town cozy mystery series featuring a pair of senior lady sleuths. This title is Bermuda Canard that is set in Bermuda, of course. The debut title, Quiet Anchorage, (see below) came out last spring.
I like to write them because the lady amateur detectives, Alma and Isabel Trumbo, are based loosely on my two late aunts. This time they're on a vacation when a murder occurs. Don't you just hate it when that happens?
With the holidays upon us, the cheerful vibe is the perfect time to be working on a cozy mystery. I'm having a lot of fun with it. You may've read my stories run in the TRUE/Dorchester magazines, but they were uncredited. Anyway, that's how I'm writing my cozies. I hope readers will enjoy them as much as I have writing them.
