Donald Bain Interview

October 6, 2014

I am absolutely delighted to tell you that my newest Cozy Mystery Author Interview is with Donald Bain. That’s right!!! THE Donald Bain, “co-author” (with “Jessica Fletcher”) of the Murder, She Wrote Mystery Series.

Over the course of our many months of the monthly Cozy Mystery Books Recommendations, Donald Bain’s Murder, She Wrote Mystery Series is one of the most recommended series you all have submitted. That’s saying a lot!

Who doesn’t know (and love!) Jessica Fletcher? She is the epitome of a Cozy Mystery sleuth. I actually used her as an example in my 2006 Cozy Mystery definitions.

The interview was quite insightful for me. I was surprised to see when he started writing Margaret Truman’s Capital Crimes Mystery Series, as well as how Mr. Bain feels about Jessica leaving Cabot Cove. (You’ll have to read the interview, no SPOILERS here!)

Please take a few minuted to read the Donald Bain interview. I think you’ll find it as informative as I do!

Lorraine Bartlett / Lorna Barrett / L.L. Bartlett Interview

July 7, 2014

Oh my gosh! Pardon me as if I gush, but I just posted my Lorraine Bartlett / Lorna Barrett / L.L. Bartlett interview. I have got to tell you, every time I do an interview with a Cozy Mystery author, I am happily surprised by how nice they are, and how gracious they are with their time.

Lorraine Bartlett writes the  Victoria Square Mystery Series. This series features Katie Bonner, a young widow who is an artisan co-op member.  Lorna Barrett pens the Booktown Mystery Series, and stars Tricia Miles, owner of the Haven’t Got a Clue Mystery bookstore. (In a nod to classic Cozies, Miss Marple is not only a character in some of the bookstore’s shelves, she’s also the name of Tricia’s cat.) And, as L.L. Bartlett she writes the Jeff Resnick Mystery Series. Jeff is an insurance investigator who, after being mugged, developed a “sixth sense” which helps him solve mysteries.

I hope you ALL enjoy this Lorraine Bartlett/Lorna Barrett/L.L. Bartlett Interview. Go fix yourself a cup of tea, click on the highlighted link, sit back, and enjoy what this very popular Cozy Mystery author has to say! I think you’ll find it interesting!

P.S.  Since two Cozy Mystery readers have just told me about these great prices for L.L. Bartlett’s Kindle books right now, I thought I would go ahead and add them to this entry.

Laura Childs Interview – April 2014

May 5, 2014

Click here for the Interview with Laura Childs page.

I recently decided to try adding Cozy Mystery authors’ interviews as a semi-regular feature to the Cozy Mystery site. When I started thinking about this, I made up a tentative list of authors who I thought would be people from whom you all would enjoy hearing. I wanted to resume my author interviews with an author who you all have recommended many times on the monthly Cozy Mystery book recommendations lists. I thought best selling Laura Childs would be an ideal interviewee.

As most of you know, Ms. Childs is the author of three best selling series: the Tea Shop Mystery Series, the Scrapbooking Mystery Series, and the Cackleberry Club Mystery Series.

I want to publicly thank Laura Childs for providing this interview. I hope you all enjoy it!

P.S. Don’t forget to enter the Laura Childs Giveaway!

P.P.S. I also want to thank the Cozy Mystery readers who helped me come up with the questions I asked Ms. Childs. Thank you!
