NANCY JILL THAMES |
If you're reading this post, you're probably a reader already. But as some of you have commented, you're new to the cozy genre. Well, this is where cozies are different. Our stories are usually based on everyday people solving mysteries - people who could be your next door neighbor - people who want to be in your lives. My old friends are Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot and Jessica Fletcher, but I'm making new friends reading new authors all the time.
So if you live alone (or know someone who does), remember our books are here to give you friendship and fellowship. Who are some of your favorite characters? What kinds of settings do they live in? Do you think of them as friends or acquaintances?
And don't forget the Giveaway Extravaganza going on right now!

Jill,
ReplyDeleteI loved this post. I do think of this as a cozy little neighborhood where we hang out and solve mysteries. I look forward to our neighborhood growing in the coming months!

Debbie,
ReplyDeleteSuch a good description of our magazine! Looking forward to getting better acquainted with our "neighbors" as we comment. I'm doing a little relaxing actually. This morning I only did laundry, baked a custard pie for next week's Cozy Kitchen recipe and photographed my tea cozies for the post pictures. My husband told me I needed to make each recipe(so he could enjoy my cooking again)and then take the photo. Since there's so much of a brew ha-ha over copyrights, it's really a good idea anyway! Hope you're feeling better.
