As our community here continues to grow and people are spending more time reading, I’ve been getting more and more questions like the ones above from readers new to my books about the cozy mystery genre. Whenever I get a lot of questions & comments on posts, emails, etc. regarding a particular topic, especially one related to cozy mysteries, I find that video is a great way to connect with people and provide some answers. So, this week on My Favorite Reads, I thought I’d offer up a primer on the cozy mystery genre. What are the characteristics of cozy mysteries, where did they come from, and why they differ from other mystery/thriller books and genres.
I’m offering my perspective from writing them, but I’d love to know yours from reading them. Are there other points you’d offer up to readers who are new to cozy mysteries? ️

If you are new to my channel here’s a little bit about me: I’m Ellie Alexander (also writing as Kate Dyer-Seeley). I’m a proud mom, wife, and cozy mystery author living in the beautiful small town of Ashland, Oregon tucked into the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. I write multiple cozy mystery series for both St. Martins Press/Macmillan & Kensington Books. I love being able to share my experiences and knowledge with readers and fans through video and will be posting new ones every week, so make sure to SUBSCRIBE so you don’t miss anything!
Happy reading,
Ellie
