Thanks for that. My novels are stand-alone--just characters and setting recur from first to second. And it's open ended, not a planned trilogy, etc.

I think the genre would be considered cozy though I don't love that term. My models are writers like Deborah Crombie and Sharyn McPherson--my heroine's not a policewoman or private eye, and there's not a huge amount of gunplay, etc. Local color is important, and relationships (not just romance).
