New Authors to the Cozy Mystery Site, Pt. 2…

I have added more authors to the site… and I want you all to know, I really appreciate your recommendations. This time I am adding eight new authors, and also, should say that two of the authors have been added to the "cat cozy mystery" list, and one of them to the "librarian cozy" list.

Fran Stewart writes the Biscuit McKee and Marmalade Mystery Series, which features a librarian and her cat. (So, Stewart has been added to both the cat and librarian cozy lists.)

Clea Simon writes a series (the Theda Krakow Mystery Series) which features a music writer with her cat (muse)… Musetta. (So, Simon has been added to the cat cozy list.)

Marlys Millhiser writes the Charlie Greene Mystery Series… Charlie is a literary agent in California who is also a very capable sleuth.

The Three Dirty Women Landscaping, Inc Series is written by Julie Wray Herman. (Don’t you just love the name of the series?)

The Tracy Eaton Mystery Series is written by Kris Neri who, interestingly, owns a bookstore in Arizona.

When Fiona Mountain came up with her series name that has a sleuth who happens to be a genealogist, she came up with a great idea: the Natasha Blake Ancestor Detective Mystery Series.

The Olivia Brown Mystery Series and the Smith & Wetzon Mystery Series (that’s right, not Smith & Wesson!) is written by Annette Meyers. (Meyers is also half of the Maan Meyers duo… her husband Martin being the other half… who write the Dutchman Historical Mystery Series.)

Elizabeth Ironside (aka Lady Catherine Manning) has written five stand-alone mystery novels.

Latest M. C. Beaton: Hamish Macbeth

I just got the latest M. C. Beaton novel and I can’t wait to start reading it… Death of a Gentle Lady… I always look forward to Beaton’s Hamish novels. (I’m not quite as crazy about Beaton’s Agatha Raisin books. They  just aren’t holding my attention as well as they did when she first started the series.)

And, as if Death of a Gentle Lady isn’t cozy enough…  My husband and I are re-watching the Miss Marple BBC shows with Joan Hickson. I hadn’t watched the shows for a few years, but after I wrote the blog about the shows, I decided it was time to get them out and re-watch them.  I am loving them (all over again!) I really can see why Agatha Christie thought Joan Hickson was the best choice to play Miss Marple… She is perfect. And, the scenery is absolutely beautiful… (When my husband and I finally start travelling, England is the destination highest on my list of places to visit.)

So, now I have one of my favorite cozy television shows to watch and one of my favorite author’s cozy mystery to read… Perfection! 

Even More New Authors on Cozy Mystery Site…

Well, what can I say? You all have let me know about some authors who look like they might make for some really good reading! I added six new authors to the site:

G. K. Chesterton wrote the classic Father Brown Mystery series of stories.

Michael Innes wrote the classic Scotland Yard Inspector Sir John Appleby Mystery Series from the 1930s to the 1980s.

Beth Groundwater writes a mystery series that takes place in beautiful Colorado Springs, where the sleuth owns a gift basket shop.

Terri Thayer writes two mystery series, one of which features a computer techie who inherits a quilt shop and a series (coming soon!) which features a rubber stamping sleuth.

Mary Saums writes two mystery series, one features two 60 something widows and the other revolves around a private investigator/backup singer in Nashville.

Arlene Sachitano has just started the quilting mystery series called Loose Threads.
