Cozy Mystery (and Other Favorite) Books, Movies, and TV
Isabella asked for help locating new books by Dicey Deere:
“So can someone please comment on what Dicey Deere is doing, and whether there is a chance of her writing anymore books.
I know that there are many authors out there, but I really love her writing and how the stories take place in Ireland.”
Does anyone know if Dicey Deere is writing under another name?
Mary Joy wrote a letter to me that included the following:
“For me the sleuth is always a woman and she lives in very comfortable, if sometimes eccentric surroundings. She can live alone or with or without any combination of boyfriend, husband and children. As soon as she gets home, she tries, not always successfully, to head for a nice bath or shower followed by a favorite meal or drink – the way we wish life could always be.
One of the authors she follows is Donna Huston Murray. She would like some ideas of:

I know I have really been bad about adding new authors to the Cozy Mystery site. I am (again!) going to try to get more of them posted. I mean, if you all are recommending mystery authors you think belong on the site, then I really should get them posted!
Here are the four newest additions of mystery authors to the Cozy Mystery site:
Tasha Alexander Alexander writes an historical mystery series which is set in Victorian London: the Lady Emily Mystery Series. Lady Emily is a young widow of a viscount. (Alexander has her B.S. in English/Medieval Studies, which obviously helps a lot when writing an historical series.)
Joan Blacher Blacher is a psychotherapist who worked as both a professor and counselor at the university level. She writes the Ardis Jensen Mystery Series, which features a counselor at a university who used to be a forensic psychologist.
Christy Fifield (aka Christy Evans & Christina F. York) Fifield writes the Haunted Souvenir Shop Mystery Series which features, as its sleuth, a Florida souvenir shop owner. As Christy Evans she writes the Georgiana Neverall Mystery Series.
Janice Hamrick Hamrick pens the Jocelyn Shore Mystery Series which is set in Austin, Texas. Jocelyn is a high school teacher/sleuth. Hamrick got her Bachelor’s in English, and has worked as a technical writer for a computer software company.
