Dear Internet, My apologies for skipping the last few weeks. Week 1, I was still in vacation mode and week 2, I got married! I spent the weekend thinking of Aubrey, my main character from my work in progress, Aubrey Jones Gets a Life. Based on the books I’ve been inhaling lately, it got me thinking about Aubrey and what I want to do with her. I want her to be different, but I’ve fallen into the same trope that seems to permeate contemporary romance: Woman’s great aunt (always the great aunt) dies and leaves her a store of some sort (almost always a bookstore) and the woman comes to terms with who she is, finds romance, and if it’s a cozy, solves the murder.
