What makes a perfectly decent person start tapping out cozy murder mysteries on their keyboard?

In Lucy Emblem’s case, it was a love of Golden Age detective stories combined with years spent training dogs using reward-based methods. The result? Cozy English mysteries with believable clues, gentle humour, and real dogs doing real doggy things.

Lucy’s stories begin with a setting and a handful of characters – then grow naturally as the mystery unfolds. The dogs play a crucial role, using the abilities they’re already brilliantly equipped with, while Lucy’s heroines step up when it becomes clear that someone has to do the right thing.

Because in a good cozy mystery, kindness matters and everything comes right in the end.
