Ep 48 - Kissing and Killing: Romance and Murder hand-in-hand with Diane Kelly

Romancing the Story: Writing Romance, Storytelling, and Business of Books

"You can have the emotion, the angst, and the personal intimate details of a romance, but you can also have the cerebral part of a mystery and solving clues..."
Award-winning author Diane Kelly had a natural progression from romance writer to cozy mystery writer, and she's been mixing genres ever since. She discusses the difference between concocting a murder mystery and building a romantic connection in a story. Plus, we chat the influence of true crime and how justice can be served in when writing a cozy mystery.
