From Legal Writer to Mystery Author: Sarah Fox on Vermont and Cozies
This week, we're continuing our journey across the United States with a stop in the picturesque state of Vermont – just in time for the fall leaf season!
Our author of the week is Sarah Fox, author of the beloved Literary Pub Mysteries series. Featuring the charming fictional town of Shady Creek and book one of the series, Wine and Punishment, Sarah shares insights into her writing process and what makes Vermont the perfect setting for cozy mysteries.
Becki and Sarah dig into the details of Fox’s Literary Pub series, particularly the first book, "Wine and Punishment," and how the concept evolved from a bookstore to a literary pub. They also discuss Fox’s approach to plotting—somewhere between plotting and "pantsing" (writing by the seat of one's pants)—and the tricky task of coming up with unique murder methods. Sarah shares her experience of creating multiple mystery series, addressing challenges like keeping characters and settings consistent and balancing overlapping series.
Grab your favorite cup of tea, cozy up in your favorite reading nook, and tune in!
