Cozy Mystery Novels: What Makes them Special?

Cozy mysteries are experiencing a huge boom in both books and in television as Millennials (mostly women) approach middle age and are seeking out less edgy mysteries, but with excellent plotting still in place. This video examines what makes a cozy mystery...cozy, as well as why an author might want to consider writing one.

    Because just like eating Mac 'n' Cheese, sometimes you just need to curl up with a comfortable read when times are tough.

    Love you sense of humor and your information. Very encouraging as I try to decide what to write next...

    Actually, The Cat Who protagonist was a middle-aged man, not an old woman. I usually write in a cat or two, since I have mine as reference material, but they're indoor cats, so don't get involved in the sleuthing. I'm trying to write a cozy series, if my characters will let me. You know how that goes. :) Jon in rural BC, Canada

    You've pretty much described the book I wrote (still looking for a different publisher who won't mess up the printing). BTW, my granddaughters are redheads, the younger one's favorite color is orange, and she wears it all the time. Of course, she's six... anyway, wear orange if you want to. Maybe not on camera.

    That's great! As you look for a new publisher, I'm sure there are several who specialize in mysteries

    I liked this only because you said you've been informed that federal law prohibits you from wearing orange. 😂 Wear whatever your heart tells you to wear!

    Wear whatever color you feel good in, girl! Just find a cool tone orange.

    I tried to write a cozy because I really enjoy reading them. I've found I'm just too snarky to write one. 😜

    People like Hallmark because it’s the HGTV version of real life and I’m OK with that
