#WritersCoffeeClub 20 April 2025: What role does #Religion play in your #Writing ?

Religion or #faith plays a significant but subtle role in my #RallyRhoades series. These are #cozymystery stories ( #feminist take on #NeroWolfe meets #TrixieBelden ) are set at an #Episcopal #BoardingSchool

In other words, the rituals & tradition of an Episcopal school provide the daily rhythms & moral foundations of the stories. They are discussed & noted but not always in great detail. They definitely color the lens through which I, & the characters, see the world of the #TyndaleAcademies however, I don’t think readers need to be intimately aware of or even familiar with their nuances in order to enjoy or understand the stories (just like you don’t have to be a gourmand to appreciate the Nero Wolfe stories).

When I began writing these, I was emphatic that I wanted an Episcopal boarding school & flavor although I am still not sure why other than for authenticity (it’s my personal background).

47: Mrs. Presumed Dead explores a possible crooked church and dangers of yuppie culture when Mrs. Pargeter moves into Smithy Loam only to learn that the previous owners of her house mysteriously disappeared which sends her into action using her wit and resources to learn the truth. #books #cozymystery
