Cosies with bite

[pjthompson]

An amusing story, relayed by a friend who was having lunch with a multiply-published writer of "cosy" mysteries. Her publisher wanted to talk about what young people might want to read, that it was very important to attract younger readers. The writer is three-quarters of the way through her latest book, but the editor asked, "Could you include some vampires? Vampires are really big right now."

Hmmm.

Yeah, and if only these folks would talk to those editors and agents who say they're sick of vampires...
