Heartsong Presents Mysteries…

I have had several people tell me (and ask me) about the Heartsong Presents Mysteries (by Christian authors), so I thought I would add a page for them.  I had a difficult time figuring the Heartsong Presents Mysteries’ authors, since I never quite got the hang of the website. Luckily, I finally found the information for which I was looking. (If I have made any mistakes, please contact me to let me know!)

I wasn’t quite sure where to post the Heartsong Presents Mysteries, though. And then it dawned on me>>> Rather than try to make an individual page for each of the authors, why not list the Heartsong Presents Mysteries on the “H” page?

In short, that is what I did.

When you see the individual page for the Heartsong Presents Mysteries, you will be able to note how many authors write under this series’ name. Each author seems to be separate from the other authors… Each author has her/his own series of books, and the individual authors’ omnibus collections feature a state.  (For example, Alibis in Arkansas, Nosy in Nebraska,  Cosy in Kansas, etc.)

Author Interviews… Kate Collins

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!
