Poor Robyn’s output is sparse, but I came to writing cozy mystery last of all my genres, and only because it was something I liked to read.

I noticed too that you can put a bit of fantasy in a cozy mystery – a cafe run by ghosts, a valley of hidden witches etc – and nobody will really mind. That made the genre very attractive to me, as it hits both the fantasy and the mystery parts of my venn diagram.

This is where I am working currently, on a cozy set aboard a narrowboat. It’s so cozy that there’s only a very small murder mystery, and a missing person. It’s working title is The Boat of Small Mysteries, and I suppose I’ll have to make it a cover too soon!
