Today's featured new release is The Standarounds of Twilight Gardens, the latest in my Hallowind Cove cozy fantasy series. This story lampoons a very common horror film or rather horror film trailer trope (honestly, this shot is in every second horror film trailer), namely the shadowy figures standing around in the mist outside someone's house.

Thank you Cora! I love the keywords you used. I’ve never heard of cozy space opera or hopepunk. Cozy space opera is exactly the term I was looking for when I was trying to categorize my book.

CoraBuhlert · « **Reply #95 on:** February 22, 2019, 12:11:18 PM »

Glad you liked the post and the tags, Willow. The hopepunk term was coined by Alexandra Rowland, who wrote an excellent essay about it. Cozy space opera is a term I came up with, when I put a recipe in the back of a space opera novel and jokingly said, "Other people write cozy mysteries, I write cozy space opera" and then thought, "Hey, actually cozy space opera sounds pretty good."

It seemed to me that both fit your book well, so I used them.
