You don't need sex, gore, offensive language or obvious killers. A great cozy has:

• A pretty cool amateur sleuth who may or may not have a crush. 
• An obvious murder (or three).
• Some suspense & thriller vibes to keep you turning the pages. 
• An animal that isn't always a cat or dog (though we love 'em!).
• You laughing out loud.
• A whodunnit mystery series that leaves you satisfied, craving more. 

 ✨About Peyton Stone ✨ 

Ever since I was eight years old, I've been captivated by the magic of mystery books. There's just something about crafting compelling stories that keeps you on the edge of your seat—without scaring the heebie-jeebies outta ya!

In my cozy mysteries, you'll escape into quaint small towns filled with friendships, intrigue, a hint of romance, and suspenseful twists. But here's the kicker: my stories feature unforgettable animal characters like you've never seen before in a cozy.

So, grab a snuggly blanket and your favorite steamy beverage—coffee, heart-soothing tea, or a glass of delectable wine—because it's about to be "you time."

And since we're friends now, I'll let you in on a little truth bomb about me:

Growing up, I always told my best friend I'd be a "career mom with 3 kids." Well, God had other plans for me! I'm a work-from-home "career" mom of 11 (yes, you read that right!), raising these amazing kids with the love of my life. So, yeah, I definitely need my escapism moments too—and I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I love creating them.

Happy reading, Friends!
