Lately
Hot cocoa.
I've been reading a lot of Christmas cozies and that tends to be a common drink and it gives me cravings.

I really love the sense of community and the quirky characters. That’s what I really love about the cozy mysteries that I’ve devoured over the years. Reading a series is so satisfying because you get to know the characters like they’re your best friends. The same as true in writing!

For me, cozy mysteries were a natural fit for my voice. The community-driven aspect of the stories appeals to me, along with the amateur sleuth aspect. I mean, if you're murdered, would you rather the police solve the case, or your barista?
(Clearly, the answer is your barista.)

One of my favorite questions is what inspired you to write cozy mysteries?
Is there a trope, theme, or topic within the subgenre that you especially enjoy and want to explore as a writer?

Remember that publishers make their decisions on which series to renew based on how well the books in the series sell. Asking your library to buy books is a great way to show support. (Your library might have an online recommendation form!)

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.
Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

Just a thin layer of ice on roadways is enough to make driving hazardous⚠️
Bridges and overpasses are especially prone to ice formation that is difficult to see, as winds beneath the structures accelerate cooling and maintain lower surface temperatures.
Remember -- Ice or snow take it slow!

Self-published books are amazing.
Their quality, value, and diversity are excellent.
To claim otherwise is a skill issue.

Elder millennials have gotten away with seeming young for a long time, but research shows that aging catches up with us at distinct moments — the first comes at 44.
