Meet Cozy Mystery Author Ana Diamond
Fellow Wild Rose author Ana Diamond writes cozy mysteries rich in intrigue and romance.
Welcome, Ana.
What was your favorite chapter to write?
I love to write any chapter that has romantic banter. I also find this to be my favorite thing in the books I like to read.
Can you tell us about any other upcoming books?
I have book two in the series coming out on 11/14/22! It’s called Body Snatched. Currently, I’m working on a new cozy mystery set in a bed and breakfast with new characters and twists.
Where is your favorite place to write?
I need pure silence, which is difficult to achieve. I mostly write in my bedroom at a desk. But sometimes, I’ll write anywhere I can on my phone.
Can you tell us about the challenges in getting your first book published?
The challenge lies in getting the novel professionally edited first, which takes time and sending it to the right publisher. I think it’s important to get specific about where you send the manuscript.
What other genres of novel would you love to write?
I enjoy historical romances but I find that I have trouble sticking to the rule of historical accuracy. I tend to want to bend the rules a bit and add unexpected twists.
Body Conscious
By Ana Diamond
Mortician, Lily Reynolds is used to seeing bodies, but not the type murdered in her own funeral home. As Detective James Rivers zeroes in on her as the town’s number one suspect she must rise above the accusations and rumors to solve the case herself while keeping her attraction to the troubled detective at bay.
James has a past. The last time he let someone into his life she wound up dead. Vowing never to let that happen again he has sworn off dating for good. Until he meets Lily. In his gut he knows she’s not the murderer but pressure to solve the case puts him on the wrong trail while he struggles to keep Lily off the case.
Can she solve the case on her own or will their scandalous romance get in the way of proving her innocence?
