Cozy, Cozy, Cozy

I have some very exciting news to share with y'all.  For a while now I

have been taking notes and making outlines for a series of books.  These

books are going to be cozy mysteries.  I am a reader of all genres of fiction,

but when I want to settle in with something light and fun, I always opt for

a cozy.  

So here is how the reader evolved into the writer.  In the deep recesses of 

my mind, I have been storing away plot lines.  Plot lines are not sufficient

for a good story, the characters need developing too.  I have been focusing

on the main recurring character and she has really come to life.  In fact,

I almost feel like I now have an alter ego and she is dictating how she wants

to be written.  

Of course, since it's a cozy mystery, the setting needs to be cozy too

and it is just that until a murder happens.  Then the story begins to have

twists and turns and lots of tea drinking to solve the crime. 

I just had to drop in and take some time out from my notebook and

fill y'all in on the busy activity around here.  Poor little Bentley is

exhausted by all the research.  He is taking a nap while I get back

to all those plot twists and turns.  I hope David realizes that dinner

may be late ;-)
