ABOUT THIS SESSION

Cozy mysteries often revolve around hobbies, crafts, and small community activities. In this session, authors discuss why pastimes like baking, knitting, gardening, and other crafts pair so well with the genre, and how these interests add charm, character, and clues to their stories.
