Outside her mystery series, Debbie Young has published a number of short stories and novellas that sit outside the cozy mystery genre. Lighting Up Time (2014) and Mrs Morris Changes Lanes (2021) are contemporary women’s fiction pieces dealing with personal change and reinvention. The Owl and The Turkey (2016) is a humorous holiday piece in the comic tradition of her other seasonal writing.
These short works show the range of Young’s output and her interest in experimenting with different forms and subjects beyond the mystery genre. They are considerably shorter than her novel-length work and suited to readers looking for a quick dip into her writing.
Readers primarily interested in the Sophie Sayers or Gemma Lamb series may find these peripheral pieces less essential, but they offer a useful complement to the main body of work and show a writer who is comfortable across multiple registers.
