We publish mostly mysteries with a focus on the cozier side of life: cozies with a hook, cozies with an edge, cozies with humor, and cozies with advent‍‍‍ure. We’re fortunate to have had several books hit the USA TODAY bestseller list, and have multiple books win industry awards and garner nominations for the Agatha, Macavity, Daphne, Anthony, and Golden Heart.

All books are available in ebooks, trade paperbacks, and hardcovers (libraries, we’re looking at you). We pay royalties to our authors while offering editorial guidance, engaging cover artwork and a structured turn-key social media strategy. We’ve got high expectations here in the Hen House and we pass the results along to the readers.

For  more on what we’re up to, new releases, book sales, giveaways, freebies, and preorders, sign up for reader updates (that book alerts sign up button right at the top of the page). Takes but a minute and then you'll be the first to see what's what. For details on our shipping policy, discounts, exclusive pricing, and a retail application, please contact us at [email protected]
