See all formats and editions

This book brings together essays written by a number of well-known writers of cozy mysteries, including Sherry Harris, Amanda Flower, Leslie Budewitz, and Edith Maxwell, among others, who provide insight into their approaches to writing. Topics covered include how they work with the form, develop characters and settings, and utilize the particular hook, skill or business that establishes the protagonist's ability to solve crimes. In addition to discussing these traditional aspects of writing, several authors focus on how they have expanded the direction the contemporary cozy mystery has taken with the inclusion of more diverse characters and social issues.

Kait Carson writes two series set in the steamy tropical heat of Florida with a third on the way. The Catherine Swope series set in greater Miami, and the Hayden Kent series set in the Fabulous Florida Keys. Since Kait moved to Maine, she has a new series in the works. The Maine Lodge series features Sassy Romano, a newly divorced thirty-something, who puts her past behind her when she inherits her family's Inn located deep in the north Maine woods. Look for these mysteries late in 2023.
Like her protagonists, Kait is an accomplished SCUBA diver, hiker, and critter lover. She lives with her husband, four rescue cats and flock of conures in the Crown of Maine where long, dark, nights give birth to flights of fictional fantasies.
