What genre do you write?
I write cozy mysteries.
How did you come to write cozy mysteries?
The first cozy I read was Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple. Then I discovered Diane Mott Davidson and Katherine Hall Page in my local bookstore. I was hooked on cozies since then.
What is your favorite character to write about?
I love writing a strong female character who is pushed out of her comfort zone to find justice.
I don’t have a favorite villain. I do have one villain I feel the most sorry for and that villain is in THE UNINVITED CORPSE. Unfortunately, I can’t much more without giving away who the villain is.
Who inspires your books?
There is no one in particular. I’m always inspired by other authors and by my critique partner. I’m also inspired by snippets of conversation, news headlines and day-to-day life. Book 2 in my Food Blogger mystery series was inspired by an event that happened at a neighbor’s house one Sunday afternoon. Inspiration is everywhere for writers.
What do you do when you’re not writing?
I love to bake and cook, so you’ll find me in my kitchen a lot when I’m not writing. I also love to exercise. A good workout helps clears my head and sometimes it helps come up with an idea. I love to take walks with my two Shih-Tzus, Susie & Billy.
Do you have any new books coming out or books you want to share here?
The Uninvited Corpse, book 1 in the Food Blogger Mystery series, is my debut novel and releases on March 27th. In January 2019 I’ll have a new book, Murder Wears a Little Black Dress, released and it’s the first book in a new series, Resale Boutique mysteries.
What was one of your dreams when you were a child?
To be a published author.
Do you have a favorite drink?
Coffee.
If you were stuck on a deserted island and could take three things with you what would they be?
Mascara. Coffee. Sunblock. Lots of sunblock. I burn.

Thank you for the interview with Debra Sennefelder the author of "The Uninvited Corpse" and for being part of the book tour.
I love that she writes about strong female characters. Although we have the love for being in the kitchen in common, she lost me on the workouts. :)
I would love the opportunity to read this book and appreciate the chance to win a copy. Thank you for the chance!

I read a lot of Laura Childs' books. brichardson0056(at)yahoo(dot)com
My favorite cozy author is Jenn McKinley.
There are so many great cozy authors out there. I think Donna Andrews may be my favorite.

Does Dorothy Sayers count as a cozy author? It would be hard to improve upon her!

I love too many to have a favorite, but one cozy author I really like is Ellen Byron. Her books are funny, and who doesn't love reading about New Orleans? mbradeen@yahoo.com
