"This is my 3rd story thru mail... Annily introduced me to junk journaling and amazing recipes. Definitely part of my self care day when I get a letter in." — Javon
"I got the second one and keep thinking about it. Like, it keeps popping into my mind. Those mysterious little nuggets of information have got me jonesing for the next letter. Every day I come down the stairs and stare disdainfully at the letterbox. I can see me gnawing my own arm off before the end of this.
All to say, I'm enjoying it." — Elaine
"When I open my mailbox and see the next letter, I jump for joy!! Do yourself a favor and subscribe asap." — Paul
Annily’s Letters is a 12-part epistolary adventure told through illustrated letters mailed directly to you. Follow Annily Edwards as she journeys across Scotland and England, uncovering secrets, history, and intrigue along the way. Each envelope you receive is filled with her correspondence, sketches, and discoveries—inviting you to step into her world one letter at a time.
Enigmatic Evening is a six-month cozy mystery told through twelve letters sent to your mailbox. Set in the small town of Brigton, Texas, the story unfolds one clue at a time—filled with gossip, secrets, and charm. Each envelope draws you deeper into the mystery, offering a screen-free ritual to savor with a cup of tea and a quiet evening.
Operation Kitten Rescue is a lighthearted mystery-by-mail told through letters written by Goldie the chicken. As secretary to Colonel (head chicken) and Captain (a clever duck), Goldie records the adventures of their feathered and furry friends as they solve curious cases around the neighborhood and beyond. Each letter brings new reports from the other animals, humorous observations, charming illustrations, recipes, games and activities.
Hi, I'm Alice A Briggs. It's great to see you!
I write every letter and chooses every illustration, many of which I create myself. More than 1,200 letters have found their way into mailboxes across the country.
The Cozy Letter Club is the subscription side of things here — a way to receive a story in installments, through letters delivered right to your mailbox. Not your email inbox. Your actual mailbox, the one at the end of the driveway or where ever yours might be.
Each subscription is a complete cozy told through letters. You open an envelope, you hold a letter, you read the next piece of the story — and then you wait for the next one to arrive.
Honestly, it came from the story, not the other way around.
I'd written a novel, and a friend who read it kept asking why my character did certain things — why she talked to strangers on trains, why she went where she went. As I thought about it, I found myself wondering: how would Annily explain all of this to a friend back home?
The answer was letters. That's how she'd tell it — in letters, one at a time, writing things down as they happened. Once I started writing the letters, they took on a life of their own, and they were the first thing I published. The novel came out later.
I'm Alice (AA) Briggs. I write fiction under AA Briggs, as I have multiple nonfiction titles under other variations of my name. I also illustrate all of my own letter series. I live in Amarillo, Texas with four cats (Miss Marple, Hastings, Miss Lemon, and Mittens, in case you were wondering). I grew up partly in Michigan and partly in New Mexico, which means I'm equally comfortable with both snow and desert — though the cold gets to me more than it used to. Ha!
I make furniture in my shop, grow things in the garden when the Texas weather cooperates, and send a newsletter most weeks that includes whatever I'm building, baking, knitting, or thinking about — along with updates on the stories.
Yes, I do. I have a background in fine art — I also make abstract mixed media paintings under my full name — but the illustrations for the letter series are a completely different style. Ink and watercolor, more realistic, developed specifically for this work.
I do, and it's one of my favorite things. I write about whatever is happening: the bookcase I'm building, the quilt in progress, how my knitting is going, what the cats are up to, a recipe I made this week. Story updates come in naturally alongside all of that. It's a bit of a peek into my worlds both real and fictional. You should be able to sign up at the bottom of any page, if you missed the pop-up.
