I love that basically anything you're into, there's a cozy series about it. I've read the Books by the Bay series by Ellery Adams, about a group of aspiring writers in an East coast shore town. A great resource for cozies is Must Read Mysteries on FB or Twitter, they link to free and low cost ebook mysteries.
