I am co-authoring a cozy mystery with my own sleuthing sister, Jacque Dutton. We are having such a blast writing and experiencing life through the eyes of our two main characters, Primrose and Wisteria.

In order to write from their viewpoint, we have fashioned ourselves a scavenger hunt. Not any ordinary scavenger hunt. We will not be knocking on doors and asking for paperclips or quarters, instead the items will be something like this:

- Visit a small, local cafe and ask the waitress what is the juiciest gossip she's heard this week.

- Visit a bakery and ask the cashier what is the best selling dessert. Get a photo of them with it, and of course, try it out for ourselves. 

- Hide a cryptic note and watch to see what happens

We will be posting the pictures and our results (sans real names on the gossip tidbits) here on our blog!

Want to help our characters make choices or give your two cents on a name? We'll have those opportunities here, too. Thanks for joining us for the fun!
