(Doors Open!) Add a Christmas Cozy to Your Author Catalog ✨🎄📚

Hi there, I've been thinking about what makes holiday books special, and I keep coming back to one thing: they have staying power. While most novels might have their moment in the sun and then fade into the background of your catalog, Christmas cozies are different. They return each holiday season, finding new readers year after year. The Evergreen Appeal of Holiday Mysteries Have you noticed how readers actively seek out seasonal reads as the holidays approach?

Hi there, I'm just checking in. Have you made your writing plans for 2025? Mine are a bit loosey-goosey until I've finished developing and launching my AI course for cozy mystery authors. Then in March I can look at juggling marketing and writing. I have an older series I'd like to add a book 7 to, and I'd like to rework and revise a book 1 in a new series that I wrote last year. Truth be told Book 1 is not exciting me right now. I may use the "rework" to add something to it that really gets...

Hey guys, I'm not sure if my subject line was the right word, invested, interested, obsessed.
