Oh, and hahaha…I've had a pen name in mind for it for years too - just a play on my own name so I can write my “heavy stuff’ under Nita Collins but the light stuff that I always thought would be romance under Tina Collins.
Oh Liisa I feel so excited about this. I, too, am feeling the need to write something light and fun between heavier projects. I used to read cozy mysteries that took place in yarn stores, magical or otherwise. I have had a coffee shop in my head and a yarn store and a town in my head for years with no story in particular to inhabit it (well, not actually true. I have a bit of a romance in mind, but really…romance isn’t my thing.) Maybe it's been bidding its time all these years waiting for a murder to happen?
Oh! It's time to write your cozy mystery! A coffee shop, a yarn store, and a little bit of romance sounds like a great start. Now something needs to happen to someone. Hmm.
We chose our first book and we'll meet on July 7 from 7-8:00 PM EST to discuss it. It's called Geared for the Grave by Duffy Brown. Let me know if you want to come and I'll set it up, Nita. Kim & Dinah are there, too.

Such a great name, Nita/Tina!
