Esme Addison is the next author to join us at The Cozy 52! When I read the bio line for Esme’s Twitter profile, one small bit totally had me hooked: Author of A Hex For Danger, based on the myth of the Mermaid of Warsaw“… the Mermaid of Warsaw? Sign me up! I’m very excited to welcome Esme to the blog today.
Who or What is The Cozy 52? Each week I will be sharing an interview with someone involved with Cozy Mysteries – an author, blogger, Facebook Group host, podcaster, cover designer – so that we can showcase this amazing community! I hope you’ll discover some new authors, plus learn more about what goes on behind the scenes with the people who write, publish and promote cozy mysteries!

I can only think of one. I lived in Japan for three years

TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR COZY MYSTERY SERIES. WHAT INSPIRES YOUR SERIES?
My series was inspired by my Polish in-laws and the interesting Polish myth of the Mermaid of Warsaw. It’s about a young woman who reconnects with her mother’s side of the family and discovers they have a magical heritage.

I think they’re a fun, high vibration experience with the added bonus of trying to figure out a mystery mixed with cozy comforting elements.
ASIDE FROM BEING AN AUTHOR, ARE YOU INVOLVED IN THE COZY COMMUNITY IN ANY OTHER WAY?
I have a cozy book club. Right now we’re focusing on mysteries but may eventually move to cozy women’s fiction and contemporary small town romance. It’s Cozyville on Facebook.

Ellery Adams, Ellen Crosby, Bailey Cates, Bree Baker, Olivia Matthews and Sarah Addison Allen.
IF YOU WERE MAROONED ON A DESERTED ISLAND, WHAT 3 BOOKS WOULD YOU WANT WITH YOU?
A dictionary, and two books in an encyclopedia. I won’t get bored and can constantly learn something while being inspired by what I’m learning.

I’m working on the third book in the Enchanted Bay Mystery series, plus the first book in a new series.
