My husband came up with a concept about a web designer - but he wanted ME to write it, which is completely out of the realm of possibility! I'm a reader, not a writer.

That's what's captured my interest as a writer, too. And thanks for the question you sent me on email. I'll talk about that on a future Thursday! Lynn, personally I think *any* interesting career would make a good cozy provided the story is fresh and fun. I don't think people have to be a bookstore owner or an advertising consultant to be able to enjoy a story. But the companies seem to feel they need a launching ground to reach readers with a common interest...and then to let that interest branch from there. And I imagine they're right based on the popularity of these sorts of books. I do, too, Dru. That’s what’s captured my interest as a writer, too. And thanks for the question you sent me on email.

I have finished one knitted scarf, (except I haven't blocked it or fixed the hanging threads...) and still have one on the needles. I don't think it will get done before the daffodills bloom. But next winter, I'll be all decked out... My question...I'm interested in your take on what makes a good cozy...apparently anything attached to crafts - - books - - and I've even seen a series on apple orchards...what's left?
