The Warm Mug of Cozy Anthology: Focus on Jake Collins

Welcome to our mini-series on A Warm Mug of Cozy Anthology, which celebrates the writers whose stories are featured in our inaugural volume.

Today, Jake Collins is telling us what inspired his story “The Mystery of the Cave.”

The inspiration for the content of the story is based on my recent travels to Perth and Bussleton in Western Australia. The latter place is where I visited a winery at Margaret River and also visited a cave which was very much as described in the story, including the red soil, shop, entrance, and two areas (amphitheatre and tunnel). The cave was named after Ngili – a good spirit according to the local aboriginal people. I wanted a bad spirit relating to red and I found that the colour red was known as Wilgee, hence the name.

Jake Collins is an emerging writer living in Sussex, England.

Thank you for sending us your story, Jake! We know people will love reading it as much as we have.

See you soon for the next instalment in our series.

An Update about the Warm Mug of Cozy Anthology!

Hello everyone!

A quick update about our Cozy Mystery Anthology, whose submission period closed yesterday.

We are delighted to announce that our submission call was very successful. We received many entertaining stories that we cannot wait to share with you.

But first, we need to send (quite a) few congratulatory emails and wait for their recipients to respond. Then and only then will we be able to start working on the anthology.

So, we ask for your patience. Please, do not email us to ask for a publication date. We will only know this in a few weeks time after we receive confirmation from our contributors that they wish to have their stories published in the anthology.

We will be back with an update for you around the end of June.

In the meantime, we wish you a wonderful weekend!
