Hello! My name is Chelsea Thomas and I’m the author of the Apple Orchard cozy mystery series. When I started writing this series, I learned a lot about the various elements that go into a cozy, including the mystery, the romance, and the recipes! Still, the foundation for every good book is the writing. I’ve found a lot of helpful resources for creating a compelling mystery, here are a few of my favorites.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
This week’s blog post is a teaser: the first two chapters of the latest Martin Preuss mystery, <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Cold Dark Lies</em>.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
The ideas for the book go back a long way. As in all the novels, the final version braids together several strands that come from “real” life. The main plot thread comes from an article I read in a Detroit newspaper many years ago about an auto executive from Bloomfield Hills who was found dead in one of the no-tell motels in Ferndale. It was a minor blip in the news day, <span style="box-sizing: inherit; color: var(--color-text);">but it stuck with me all this time. I was intrigued by the dissonance between his privileged, upper-middle class existence and his desire (or need) to take a walk on the wild side at the skeevy motel, with tragic results for himself and the family he must have left behind.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
The idea for one of the subplots in the book comes from a student who came to talk to me once about a research study she was undertaking to find out if she was really related to a criminal gang in Detroit in the 1920s, as family lore had insisted.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
As always, by the time both of these threads made it to the final version, I had changed much—characters, situations, names, details, circumstances, motivations, and so on. Then I set it all in an imaginary context consistent with a mystery story—so I made up lots of bad actors, bad actions, and events that didn’t happen . . . but that could have.<span class="Apple-converted-space" style="box-sizing: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
At first, I imagined the motel guy as a character in a poem called “The Secret Life,” but I knew there was more to the story than the poem could explore. When I started thinking about the next book in the series after <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">An Uncertain Accomplice</em>, I took the story out of my back pocket where I had kept it all these years and started thinking about using it in a Preuss mystery.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
This is pretty typical of how I’ve been working with these books. Only in the first book, <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Crimes of Love</em>, did I make up the inciting episode; in all the rest, I started out with a situation I knew about either because somebody told me the story or I read about it somewhere. (Henry James’s advice to writers: “Try to be one of those on whom nothing is lost.”) After that, it was a matter of imaginatively transforming the original real inciting situations to make them fit with my own purposes and the demands of the plots.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
So here’s the beginning of how that process turned out in <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Cold Dark Lies</em>. Enjoy!</div>

Literary agents are important decision makers in the publishing process for authors who wish to be published by many of the big publishers. However, all literary agents do not represent all genres. In fact, an agent who claims to do this should be approached with caution. Just as authors tend to specialize in one or two genres, agents find niches and specialize in a handful of genres.</div>

The ideas for the book go back a long way. As in all the novels, the final version braids together several strands that come from “real” life. The main plot thread comes from an article I read in a Detroit newspaper many years ago about an auto executive from Bloomfield Hills who was found dead in one of the no-tell motels in Ferndale. It was a minor blip in the news day, <span style="box-sizing: inherit; color: var(--color-text);">but it stuck with me all this time. I was intrigued by the dissonance between his privileged, upper-middle class existence and his desire (or need) to take a walk on the wild side at the skeevy motel, with tragic results for himself and the family he must have left behind.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
The idea for one of the subplots in the book comes from a student who came to talk to me once about a research study she was undertaking to find out if she was really related to a criminal gang in Detroit in the 1920s, as family lore had insisted.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
As always, by the time both of these threads made it to the final version, I had changed much—characters, situations, names, details, circumstances, motivations, and so on. Then I set it all in an imaginary context consistent with a mystery story—so I made up lots of bad actors, bad actions, and events that didn’t happen . . . but that could have.<span class="Apple-converted-space" style="box-sizing: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
At first, I imagined the motel guy as a character in a poem called “The Secret Life,” but I knew there was more to the story than the poem could explore. When I started thinking about the next book in the series after <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">An Uncertain Accomplice</em>, I took the story out of my back pocket where I had kept it all these years and started thinking about using it in a Preuss mystery.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
This is pretty typical of how I’ve been working with these books. Only in the first book, <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Crimes of Love</em>, did I make up the inciting episode; in all the rest, I started out with a situation I knew about either because somebody told me the story or I read about it somewhere. (Henry James’s advice to writers: “Try to be one of those on whom nothing is lost.”) After that, it was a matter of imaginatively transforming the original real inciting situations to make them fit with my own purposes and the demands of the plots.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
So here’s the beginning of how that process turned out in <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Cold Dark Lies</em>. Enjoy!</div>

Calling all Michigan Mystery Writers! Michigan Sisters in Crime has started a new critique group. It’s for mystery writers, and you need to be a member to participate. We meet once a month for two hours at a restaurant in Troy close to I-75. There were four of us at the first meeting. We came from Ann Arbor, Lake Orion, Clarkston and Washington Twp. It was a great success.</div>
<div class="has-text-color has-background has-very-dark-gray-color has-very-light-gray-background-color" style="background-color: #eeeeee; box-sizing: inherit; color: #313131; margin-bottom: 1.625em; padding: 20px 30px;">
Critique groups are great motivators. I’m on fire to write the best pages of my life for this group. Any member of Michigan Sisters in Crime is welcome to attend. You don’t have to be there for every meeting. Summer is busy time. Still, if you’re writing a mystery novel, even a short story, even if it’s your first one, the critique group is a free perk of membership.</div>

Unlike a thriller, the danger in a psychological thriller resides more on a mental level and less on a physical one. Also, the main characters tend to have unstable or delusional mental states. Combined, these elements provide the reader with a dissolving sense of reality.</a></div>

Calling all Michigan Mystery Writers! Michigan Sisters in Crime has started a new critique group. It’s for mystery writers, and you need to be a member to participate. We meet once a month for two hours at a restaurant in Troy close to I-75. There were four of us at the first meeting. We came from Ann Arbor, Lake Orion, Clarkston and Washington Twp. It was a great success.</div>

Critique groups are great motivators. I’m on fire to write the best pages of my life for this group. Any member of Michigan Sisters in Crime is welcome to attend. You don’t have to be there for every meeting. Summer is busy time. Still, if you’re writing a mystery novel, even a short story, even if it’s your first one, the critique group is a free perk of membership.</div>
