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.

In the meantime, don’t forget to pre-order your copy. It is 50% off the retail price until September 3, 2023!

(You will only have to pay $2.99 $5.99.)
