Have you ever asked someone the time and she tells you how to build a clock? Sometimes a simple answer is better than a long one. This morning, I’ve listed my eight cozy mysteries and described each one with only three words. Do you agree? How would you describe each of them, using only three words?
The Cemetery Club: Graveyard, Treasure, Pursuit
Grave Shift: Earthquake, Cougar, Ranch
Best Left Buried: Past, Secret, Revelation
Grave Heritage: Flood, Killer, Discoveries
Moonlight Can Be Murder: Murder, Hidden, Romance
By the Fright of the Silvery Moon: Oklahoma, Outlaw, Greed
Moonstruck and Murderous: Intrigue, Danger, Past
Murder By Moonlight: Houses, Sleuthing, Terror.

Well done!
Thank you, Kimberly.

Yes, it is. Sometimes in re-reading what I’ve written in a book, I mercilessly cut out words or even whole sentences. And, the story reads better. So, sometimes less is better!
