The Long Quiche Goodbye, a Cheese Shop Mystery, set me on a journey writing culinary mysteries. I love reading both cozies and suspense, and I started out as a suspense author, but the first book I sold was a cozy, written under a pseudonym: Avery Aames. So, how difficult is writing without food? Ahem, I mean, writing across genre? Hard. Okay, occasionally she eats a plate of spaghetti and she even barbecues, but food is not the main thrust of the story. Do I let the protagonist in my new suspense starve? No, but she’s a private investigator and needs to eat on the run. But writing without food? Is that even possible? Read on, to find out…Īm I saying I can write and never eat? Um, no.īut just yesterday, my latest suspense novel, Desolate Shores, came out, and there’s no food in it. So you can imagine how thrilled I am, along with all the other Chicks, to welcome Daryl here today. When I started writing my Sally Solari culinary series, one of the first authors I turned to for inspiration was Daryl Wood Gerber, who-also as Avery Aames-has written a host of fabulous culinary cozies.
