Conversation with Cozy Mystery Author Liz Mugavero (Cate Conte)

Elizabeth Mugavero writing under her pen name Cate Conte is the bestselling author of three mystery series, two with Kensington Books and one with St. Martin’s Press. As Liz, she writes the Pawsitively Organic Mysteries, the first of which was an Agatha Award nominee for Best First Novel.

 Her alter ego Cate hit the scene in 2014 with the Cat Cafe Mysteries featuring Maddie James, who moves back to Daybreak Island off the coast of Massachusetts and subsequently opens a cat cafe to help with island rescue efforts. Of course, people are murdered along the way and Maddie discovers she has another skill—solving crimes.

Her latest series, the Full Moon Mysteries, is a confluence of all her favorite things—witches, crystals, cats, moon phases and magic. Featuring Violet Mooney, a 32-year-old witch—who has no idea she’s a witch. At least, until her life is turned upside down.

Somewhere along the way Liz lost her creative mojo. And began the long process of her creative recovery. She spent 17 years unlearning all the limiting beliefs and stories that were holding her back. Through a variety of spiritual techniques and mindset shifts, she found her way to writing success. This inspired her to become a creativity coach, helping other writers fulfill their creative dreams with a touch of woo woo. She's the founder of The Creativity Lab, a membership site for writers.
