Cozy Mystery

Five Reasons Sunny Days and Cozy Mysteries are the Perfect Pairing

by J.C. Keough Leave a Comment

Hey Y’all!

Greetings from Texas! It’s one of those beautiful days that makes you want to grab a book, pour a glass of wine, and soak up the sunshine. But as much as I’d love to be outdoors, I couldn’t resist taking a moment to share why cozy mysteries are the ultimate companion for a sunny day.

1. Sunshine Calls for Escapism
There’s nothing better than letting your mind wander to a charming, mysterious small town. Whether it’s the paranormal shenanigans of Cheese Louise or a trip into vampire-infused urban fantasy, a cozy read adds that perfect dash of adventure.

2. Sunshine and Wine Pair Beautifully with Humor
Cozy mysteries often come with a side of snark and humor. Add a crisp glass of white wine, and you’ve got yourself a delightful combo. (May I recommend a cheeky Viognier?)

3. The Setting Inspires Exploration
Many cozy mysteries are set in quaint locations that remind us to slow down and appreciate life’s simple pleasures. It’s a bit like exploring your own sunny backyard or neighborhood.

4. Quick Reads for Busy Days
On days when sunshine calls, cozy mysteries are just the right length to devour in one sitting. Plus, they’re perfect for Kindle Unlimited readers!

5. They’re Just Plain Fun
At the end of the day, who doesn’t love a light-hearted escape with quirky characters, a dash of danger, and a guaranteed happy ending?

Plotting Like a Detective: Unraveling the Threads of Cozy Mysteries

by J.C. Keough Leave a Comment

Welcome to the mysterious world of cozy mysteries, where the tea is hot, the crimes are cold, and the amateur detectives are always one step ahead (or at least they think they are). Today, we’re delving into the intricate art of plotting like a detective in the cozy mystery genre. Grab your magnifying glass and your favorite cozy blanket, because we’re about to uncover the secrets behind crafting a plot that’s as puzzling as it is entertaining.

Chapter 1: The Quirky Setting

Every good cozy mystery begins with a setting so quaint and charming that you almost forget there’s a murder about to happen. Whether it’s a picturesque village, a bustling bookstore, or a knitting club with more drama than a soap opera, the setting is key. Just remember, the more eccentric the setting, the better. A yarn store where someone gets strangled with a particularly fluffy skein? Now, that’s a cozy mystery waiting to happen.

Cozy Writing Spaces: Where Wine, Cheese, and Witches Collide in the Perfect Mystical Nook

by J.C. Keough Leave a Comment

Hey Y’all!

This is another blog for my fellow story conjurers. If you’ve ever found yourself staring at a blank page, desperately seeking inspiration for your mysteries, fear not! Today, we embark on a quest to uncover the secrets of creating the ultimate cozy writing space—a place where the magic happens, quite literally.

Enchanting Ambiance:

Step into your writing lair and let the enchantment begin. Dim the lights, toss in some fairy lights for that whimsical touch, and sprinkle a pinch of stardust around (metaphorically speaking, of course). The goal is to transport yourself to a realm where your mysteries unfold like ancient scrolls being unraveled by mischievous woodland creatures.

Cheese Louise Cover Reveal

by J.C. Keough Leave a Comment

It’s finally here! 😱 Cheese Louise cover reveal day!

Gertie’s psychic abilities are on the fritz. When her boss suddenly dies, the police believe it was a heart attack, but Gertie knows she was murdered. Will she get her powers working and catch the killer before it’s too late, or will she be the next to die?

Cheese Louise Cozy Mystery
Cheese Louise Cozy Mystery book 1

How does Gertie Pratt know Louise was murdered? Her faulty psychic powers told her so. Even though it’s the first psychic nudge she’s had in nearly thirty years, its meaning is clear. But convincing the police proves to be harder than a stale wedge of Parmigiano Reggiano. 

Before she knows it, Gertie is knee-deep in a murder mystery and at her wit’s end. She has more suspects than bees in a hive, and nothing is ever as easy as it seems. And with a smarmy landlord trying to shut down the shop, a coven of witches closing in, and Gertie’s cheating husband topping her suspect list, has Gertie bit off more than she can chew? Luckily, Louise’s brother, Logan, arrives in town just in time to help Gertie in her hunt for the killer. As a retired police detective, he has the skills she needs. But now that the killer has Gertie in his sights, will Logan’s dark good looks prove too much of a distraction? 

Cheese Louise is the first book in the Cheese Louise paranormal Cozy Mystery Series. 

If you like quirky characters, off-beat humor, cheese, and all things paranormal, you’ll love this new mystery series by J.C. Keough.

Coming spring 2022!

Let me know what you think about the cover in the comments below.

Thanks!
