Maddy Hunter

Maddy Hunter is one of the prominent American novelists of the cozy mystery genre. She has written the highly successful mystery series, Passport of Peril. Maddy says that she got interested in the idea of writing the series after she went with one of her friends on a tour of seniors to Switzerland. On the tour, she got the idea about the character descriptions and spent no time in developing the series around them. As a beginner, Maddy used to write romance novels, however, she had to stop writing them after her publisher refused to publish any of her romances. Therefore, she decided to change the course of her writing career to cozy mysteries and wrote the first novel of the series in the year 2003. Maddy has said that she had to face a lot of struggle and difficulty before her becoming a cozy mystery writer as she was not able yo think about any appropriate characters. She had to spend several years trying to penning a long historical drama, which turned out to unfruitful and this disheartened Maddy even more. Then came the tour of Switzerland, which was sponsored by the bank of one of her friends for its club members. When she reached in Lucerne along with her touring group, she was welcomed by extremely miserable weather conditions and tasteless foods.
