I love connecting with other mystery fans and readers, and joining various cozy mystery Facebook groups has been a great way to connect with and meet lots of wonderful new people.

I’ll be doing another author takeover with the Cozy Mystery Lovers / Meg’s Cozy Corner group on Tuesday at 7pm. Hope to see you there.

Note it’s a private page, so you’ll need to request to join.

Michelle Cullen released two traditionally published books in one year! How did she do it?

In our recent interview, @michellelcullen gave us some insight on how she lets each book be its own thing. Her refusal to put her writing process in a box has allowed her to write quickly and draft efficiently.

Her newest novel, A Field Guide To Death And Deceit, is a refreshing spin on the cozy mystery genre that delivers a funny and heartwarming story…with a side of murder.

You can hear more of Michelle’s perspective, writing tips, and her books in the full episode (in our 🔗 or wherever you listen to podcasts).

And be sure to grab your copy of Michelle’s books (out now)! by @michellelcullen

“I wanted to write a book that you want to hug at the end—but with murder.” - @michellelcullen

Michelle’s new book, A Field Guide To Death And Deceit does just that! She delivers such fantastic characters (that were apparently shaped by market research) and offers a really fun twist on the cozy mystery genre!

It turns out a Boomer anthropologist and Gen Z nurse are the perfect pairing…

TFW you stumble on an absolutely wonderful review months after it came out. Thank you so much @views_she_writes for such kind words!!! 😊 I’m thrilled that you enjoy Harry and Emma as much as I do.

A Boomer anthropologist and a Gen Z nurse walk into a barn…

Believe it or not, this is the (actually perfect) premise in Michelle Cullen’s new book: A Field Guide To Death And Deceit.

We just released an interview with Michelle, digging into her journey from anthropologist to author, her experience releasing two traditionally published books in one year, and learning all about this new story.
