I have just added “seven” new authors to the Cozy Mystery site, but only six actual authors. (One of them is an author with two aliases.) These are authors who you all have recommended as belonging on the site. (I haven’t read any of their mysteries yet.)

Kathie Deviny: Grace Church Mystery Series
Father Robert Vickers is an Episcopalian priest in Seattle, who gets a lot of help sleuthing from his parishioners. (Deviny has her bachelor’s and master’s in Social Work, and is married to an Episcopalian priest.)

Thanks for this update Danna. I have read and enjoyed Nancy J Parra’s Gluten for Punishment and am looking forward to her other book All Fudged Up written under the name Nancy Coco.
I was on Barnes and Nobel checking on when Diane Mott Davidson’s new book The Whole Enchilada (Culinary Mystery Series #17) [NOOK Book] and it was priced at $7.99
The Whole Enchilada
Check Amazon and the book is the same price.

Sheila, I love the cover of Nancy Coco’s All Fudged Up. Our dog was a Bichon, and just seeing that little curly moppet makes me smile.
And thanks for letting us know about The Whole Enchilada Kindle and Nook prices. $7.99 is terrific, when you consider it is a brand new book, and the hardback copies are twice the price.
Margaret M. says
The Liz Mugavero new series sounds cute. I always like to visit the authors’ websites first, sometimes it helps me decide if I want to try the book or series. When I visited Liz’s website I saw she is going to be at Bouchercon and on a panel next month. Since Bouchercon is in my back yard this year, we will be there! I look forward to her panel and I will wait and pick up the book then.

Lucky you, Margaret M! I’m sure you’ll have a great time.
Karen L says
Danna, Please add Abigail Keam to the list of authors whose books take place in Kentucky. She is a Kentuckian and conveys locations and customs very well in each of her books.

Karen L, I am so glad you told us that Abigail Keam’s books are set in Kentucky. I tried to find the state so I could add her series to the appropriate state theme list, but I came up blank. Thanks!
Melissa B says
