Author Interviews… Kate Collins

March 10, 2009

Yesterday I added a new page to the Cozy Mystery Site… Author Interviews is the name of the page, and it is exactly what you would expect… interviews of authors.

I am going to try to interview different authors who I think that you all might find interesting. The first author I interviewed was Kate Collins, author of the very popular Flower Shop Mystery Series. I really did appreciate Ms. Collins taking the time to answer my questions, and found that her answers were truly more than I had expected.

I hope that you all will take the time to read what Kate Collins has to say… I especially enjoyed the part … Well, actually, I enjoyed ALL of her answers!

Jesse Stone by Robert B. Parker (The Television Movie!)

February 26, 2009

Good news for all of you Robert B. Parker fans out there AND all of you mystery readers who crave mystery movies:

Jesse Stone’s new two hour television movie Thin Ice will be on this Sunday night at 9:00 EST (which for me translates into 8:00) on CBS. I wanted to be sure and tell those of you who don’t know about it, since we have had previous discussions about these special event movies. This will be the fifth in the Jesse Stone movie series: Stone Cold, Night Passage, Death in Paradise, & Sea Change are the previous four installments.

Police Chief Jesse Stone (of Paradise, Massachusetts) is in trouble for getting involved in a shoot-out in Boston. Since Jesse (played by Tom Selleck of Magnum P.I. fame) has to spend a lot of time sorting out his trouble in Boston, his absence in Paradise causes a problem there. And to make things worse, Jesse fired one of Paradise’s greatest money-makers… a policeman who gave out more than his share of tickets >>> which boosted the town’s income quite nicely!

So, set up your Replay machines, Tivos, DVRs, VCRs, or just have your alarm clocks set for 8:00 (my time, probably not yours!) for Sunday, March 1!
