Recently I had a chance to sit down with Lynn Cahoon author of the Tourist Trap Mysteries and the recent author of A Story to Kill. Thank you Lynn for stopping by Community Bookstop. Thanks
for having me over.
What
genre do you write?
Cozy
Mysteries – Light on gore, light on sex, high on fun. I have two mystery
series, The Cat Latimer series which starts with A Story to Kill. And the
Tourist Trap series, which starts with Guidebook
to Murder.
I
also write sweet to saucy small town romance.
How
did you come to write cozy mysteries?
I’ve
always loved reading cozies so I wrote Guidebook to Murder and then sold it in
2013. The series has just expanded and since I love writing the small town of
South Cove, it drew me into mystery.
The
Cat Latimer series started because I was driving to my old stomping grounds and
wondered what if I stopped and started a new life in Colorado.
Who
is your favorite character to write about?
I
adore writing Toby, the part-time deputy, part-time barista. He’s a dreamboat
and knows it but he really cares about his friends and it’s nice to have a
solid guy around you can talk to.
Who
inspires your books?
I
wouldn’t say who – but where. I’m moved by setting first, then character, and
finally plot. I love writing the little college town of Aspen Hills because it
makes me feel like I’m in the mountains, waiting to take off on a hike.
What
do you do when you’re not writing?
I
love going to our cabin and riding the side-by-side with my husband. Of course I love reading and for my TV
preferences, I’m more of a reality competition nut. I love Project Runway, Top
Chef, and shows like that. And I love to cook, when I have time.
If you were stuck on a deserted island what three things
would you take?
A good seafood cookbook; a kindle filled with books, and a
quilt. I’m always cold.
