While it has a mystery in it, it's not really a mystery, so I'm calling it a romance, and that's how I'm marketing it at the moment. Any ideas for me on that one?

I write two series. One I'd call Family Cozy Mysteries, and the other would probably be Soft-Boiled Female P.I./Cozy. You're right. It's difficult to come up with a category.

I don't really have a "sleuth" in most of them and they definitely aren't cozy (except for the The Doorbell Rang, 4 short stories, that are more like romantic mysteries).The other books are mostly deadly satire.Palmaltashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842084844496531165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577144322916822926.post-58571479784181530432015-05-31T11:13:22.392-04:002015-05-31T11:13:22.392-04:00With the exception of my horror novels, I would ch...With the exception of my horror novels, I would characterise all the rest as adult themes with juvenile humour.
