The main character in the story is an amateur sleuth who happens on a dead body. She is no investigator. In the case of my book, the sleuth is preparing a house (like a Habitat House) for occupancy and discovers a dead body in the closet. There is usually no gore in a cozy mystery.

Hi Richard,

I'm way behind on answering posts, and I apologize. I'm glad you were able to take something away from that blog. Yes, oddly enough our characters do seem to have minds of their own. I had no idea when I started writing that they'd be leading me by the hand. I hope things are going well for you.
