My name is Carmela Dutra, and I'm from the Bay Area of California. I cherish my family, rainy days, and making others laugh.
After years of working on my award-winning indie children’s picture books, I transitioned into crafting cozy mysteries filled with emotion, humor and heart. My debut adult cozy mystery, A Murder Most Fowl, is coming out on September, 9th, 2025 (published by Crooked Lane Books and distributed by Penguin Random House).
I was wondering if you would be interested in an interview or a feature about me/the novel.
