It's no secret cozies are my favorite genre, but as a writer, sometimes we have to explore new waters if we're to expand our craft. My latest WIP is a testament to that fact. The title is tentatively Blackwater Baby and it seems to be a cross literary fiction/thriller work. It's outlined in a journalism-like fashion, but who knows if that will last. Like I said, it's a work in progress.
So far the research has been eye-opening. I feel I could take this novel a million different ways and I want to make sure I choose the right one. You know, find a way to tell the best story.
It's definitely deep--full of the dark human desires and raw emotions I tend to avoid in my writing, but I'm going to hold my breath and dive in. If it doesn't work, I've always got another cozy waiting to be written :)

Uh, what happened with 'Beauty Secrets?'
Did you decide to drop it all for this 'new' idea? That's no way to get something finished.
No, Beauty Secrets is out on submission. I wrote that novel last spring a spent a year revising. A couple of agents have requested fulls, but I'll go crazy sitting around waiting to hear news if I'm not working on something else!
