I have finally added some new mystery authors to the Cozy Mystery site! I have so many authors who you all have recommended as belonging on the site, and I know that I should get them posted faster. But, of course, there are no excuses for taking this much time…

So, here are the four newest mystery author additions to the Cozy Mystery site:

Sharon Pape used to be a teacher. She is now writing the Portrait of a Crime Mystery Seires which will fall under the paranormal subgenre. Her main sleuth (Aurora – Rory McBain) is a police sketch artist who has inherited her uncle’s Victorian mansion AND an 1870s federal marshal who inhabits the old house.

Debbie Steever writes Stand Alone mysteries. One of them involves two brothers and a journal full of family secrets that their father left them after his death. Another of Steever’s Stand Alone mysteries is about a highschool reunion that goes terribly wrong… for both the corpse and the suspect…

The next author has several aliases:
Sara Woods: Antony Maitland Mystery Series
Mary Challis: Jeremy Locke Mystery Series
Margaret Leek: Stephen Marryat Mystery Series
All three of the above series have British barristers as their sleuths.
Anne Burton: Richard Trenton Mystery Series
The above series has a British banker as its sleuth.

Suzanne Young has her degree in English, which she parlayed into a very varied career, which included working as the project director on a National Science Foundation grant at MIT. Young writes the Edna Davies Mystery Series. Edna is an amateur herbalist who lives in Rhode Island (on the coast) and solves mysteries.

Here are the four newest additions to the Cozy Mystery site. These four authors are people who some of you have recommended as belonging on the site:

P. J. Alderman writes the Port Chatham Mystery Series. This series belongs in the paranormal category. Jordan Marsh is the sleuth who lives in the Pacific northwestern coast of the USA. She solves her mysteries while inhabiting her haunted house…

Jackie Chance writes the Poker Mystery Series. This series follows the sleuth as she leaves her old life in the advertising field (as well as her fiancé) and becomes an amateur status poker champion…

J. Michael Orenduff is an ex-math professor who writes the Pot Thief Mystery Series. This series is set in Albuquerque, and centers on Hubert Schuze, a treasure hunter who owns the Spirits in Clay shop…

S. S. Van Dine is a pseudonym for an art critic who wrote the Philo Vance Mystery Series. Philo Vance is a rich art collector in New York. (One of my favorite actors – William Powell – played Philo in several movies… which, if you are familiar with Powell’s work, might give you an idea of Philo’s personality…)

I have just added four new-to-the-site mystery authors to the Cozy Mystery site. I will (again!) remind you all that these are not authors who I have read. These four authors have been recommended by other Cozy Mystery site readers – as mystery authors who they think belong on the site.

Terri Blackstock: Blackstock is an award winning Christian author (including the New York Times) who writes several different series: Restoration Series, Cape Refuge Mystery Series, Newpointe 911 Series, Sun Coast Chronicles Series and also series that are neither mystery nor thriller: Season Series and Second Chances Series.

Marion Moore Hill: Hill has worked as both an English and Journalism college teacher and also a reporter. She writes two mystery series: Scrappy Librarian Mystery Series, which is set in Oklahoma and features a librarian and her dog, Rip. Hill also writes the Deadly Past Mystery Series, which features a single mother who solves mysteries at historical sites.

J. J. Murphy: Murphy has used the “real life” Algonquin Round Table as the basis of her mystery series, as well as “real life” poet/author Dorothy Parker, as her sleuth. The Algonquin Round Table Mystery Series is based on the 1920s lunch group of wits, actors, critics, and writers who used to get together for lunch at the Algonquin Hotel.

Sue Owens Wright: Wright pens the Beanie & Cruiser Mystery Series which features Beanie, a sleuth who is a free-lance reporter in Nevada, and her beloved Basset Hound, Cruiser. Wright has also written some non-fiction books that are about dogs… 150 Activities for Bored Dogs being one of them.
