Two New Cozy Mystery Series Coming December 2018

December will have two new Cozy Mystery Series by site authors!

First, Sarah Fox will be releasing Wine and Punishment, the first in her new Literary pub Mystery Series. Sadie Coleman is starting a new life for herself in Shady Creek, Vermont, after losing her old job in a merger and ending a relationship with a deadbeat ex. She’s bought an old pub, turning it into a spot for anyone interested in either a book club, a glass of wine, or both. But her plans might be interrupted when her ex arrives, looking to reunite – only to turn up dead instead. Fox already writes the Pancake House Mystery Series, starring Marley McKinney, a pancake house manager, and the Music Lover’s Mystery Series, starring violinist Midori Bishop.

Next, Clea Simon will be starting the Witch Cats of Cambridge Mystery Series, beginning with the debut novel, A Spell of Murder. Becca has suddenly become both unattached romantically and unemployed financially, and is spending her new free time to attempt to awaken her own psychic powers and become a witch. But the real power lies in her trio of cats, and their influence may quickly entangle her in more serious matters – like murder, perhaps. Clea Simon also writes the Pru Marlowe, Pet Noir Mystery Series, which stars an animal behaviorist, the Blackie and Care Mystery Series, starring cat Blackie and homeless teen Care, the Dulcie Schwartz Mystery Series, starring a grad student, and the Theda Krakow Mystery Series, starring a music writer.
