This morning, I’m not in one of my usual writing haunts: Rogue Roasting Company in Ashland, Oregon; Coffee Bach in Phoenix, OR; or Lumina, on the Ashland Plaza downtown.

A Study in Settings
How do you choose a particular town for a cozy mystery setting? That’s a question many authors get from readers. For me, the answer is easy. I need to have more than a casual acquaintance with a location to use it for a book setting. In Murder at Last Chance Cove, Saffi Graywood finds a…
