This was my first attempt at a cozy mystery story, and I honestly think it’s fairly entertaining! When I wrote it years ago, I was much more critical. However, I recently reread it to do the formatting and e-publishing for this website, and I had forgotten enough of my plot to be able to just enjoy it with reader-eyes only. Maybe that’s the trick to writer overthinking? Perhaps.
Note: Yes, it’s a very silly story, and Ms. Winby is meant to be a very silly character.
I might continue on with Ms. Winby’s little mysteries for practice towards longer books down the road. I have so many big stories swirling around in my brain that want to be typed into life, but I still lack the confidence to throw everything else aside to work on them solo. Confidence might not be the right word, either. Whatever it is, I am absolutely set on writing them – it’s just a matter of when.
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this story. As always, thanks for reading!
