Cozy fantasy

I'll watch it again in solidarity.

Oh, do I have to read Cozy Fantasy? Patrick will watch it again [laughs] in solidarity.

God, I saw some more books.

I d- I did see a-

growth without that being an option and it doesn't feel like an option

what is how does cozy fantasy work in um just like social media what is do you see a lot of posts are they like because i know that cozy fantasy is Sorry, Cozy Mystery on Instagram, say, didn't really have much of a presence.

It's bigger on Facebook, but it's Cozy Fantasy.

Are there different things you could do for organic marketing that you couldn't do for Cozy Mystery? is like is there a difference there that you could play with

i don't i think the only genre where i ever see like oh this definitely is moving the needle in terms of like people are liking this i imagine they're buying it as romance i don't really see anything else maybe some like romance associated genres where it's like like i think i'm fancy like anything with like big hooks but there's no bigger hooks so i definitely see people using more organic social media um but not in a way that i think is is like that's the definite thing that's going to move the needle for me i think i think i can try it but i don't think it's not like it's not like romance where you're like yeah if i if i find the right hooks i put them on tiktok i can find the right you know i just slam it over and over and over again i will find the people

of things

and

there's a lot of things that i know i have not succeeded in the past so it doesn't feel like it doesn't feel like there's anything meaningfully different about cozy fantasy as in like oh now i get the chance to do yes yeah

But I tend to need a dark and a light because if I'm not writing something dark, my light gets very dark.

Like my cozy fantasy, it gets so bleeping dark toward the end of the trilogy because I wasn't writing a thriller or a women's fiction or something to explore those themes.

So I try to balance those.

I do a lot of narrative therapy.

Yeah.

So for me, when I switched, because I initially was writing, well, I mean, I kind of jumped around as I was trying to figure out our author marketing.

I kind of bounced around a bit before, you know, settling on Cozy Fantasy because that just seemed to be what stuck.

I did consider a pen name Switch.

And I love that so much.

I'm always here for a nice, cozy read, especially if it is some kind of a cozy fantasy.

So I'm so here for it.

that's awesome i am i am firmly in my cozy era right now give me all the hot chocolate

excellent i'm very very fond of cheese that is that is my my writing fuel that and chocolate of course

cheese chocolate what you know what else do you need absolutely So for anyone new, how about you dive in and tell us a little bit about The Far Away Inn? Absolutely.

So The Far Away Inn is cozy fantasy.

It's YA.

Oh, cute.

That makes me think we should go to Cozy Fantasy.

This says, well, listen to it.
