![]() ![]() Well, that’s an obvious statement, isn’t it? Of course they don’t. Our problem in a nutshell: Foxes don’t own handkerchiefs. ![]() As writers, we had to get in our characters’ heads and portray their behaviors and beliefs in a way that made sense for what they were (both physically and socially), while fitting in the traditional detective story so that readers can follow along with each clue and solve the puzzle with Vera. As Vera works her way through the clues, the reader is introduced to the world of Shady Hollow.Įstablishing this world was a challenge, because it not only uses common tropes of the cozy mystery genre, but also places them into a non-human world. Our amateur sleuth Vera Vixen is a literal foxy reporter who senses more to the story when the local curmudgeon (a toad) turns up murdered and it seems like every resident had a solid reason to do the deed. They are wonderfully charming, very civilized animals, but animals nonetheless. The twist of our setting is that all our characters are animals. Shady Hollow is the first in a series of mystery novels. ![]()
