Three of the authors who are currently posted on the Cozy Mystery site are going to be releasing new mystery series during June 2014. I have the pictures of their new series’ 1st mysteries on the New Cozy Mystery Book Series page, but thought I would “introduce” the series to you in a little more detail.

 Amanda Cooper (aka Victoria Hamilton) will be releasing her very first Teapot Collector Mystery Series book: Tempest in a Teapot. The Teapot Collector series will feature a sleuth named Sophie Taylor. Sophie has just left Manhattan – where she used to own a restaurant, and has returned to her hometown in New York. She is currently working in her family’s “Auntie Rose’s Victorian Teahouse”. Gracious Grove is the name of her quaint, little hometown in the northern Finger Lakes region of New York.

Diane Kelly is releasing the 1st in her new Megan Luz Mystery Series called Paw Enforcement. This mystery series is going to give us two main sleuths: a policewoman named Megan Luz, and her partner, Brigit. Oh, and I should mention that Brigit is her K-9 police officer partner. The series takes place in Texas (Fort Worth). Megan has just committed a not-so-well-received act, and as her “sentence” she is given her new four-legged partner.

Nancy J. Parra (aka Nancy Coco) will be releasing Engaged In Murder, the 1st in the new Perfect Proposals Mystery Series. Pepper Pomeroy has just switched her job from being an event planner to taking on the job as a marriage proposal planner. As a proposal planner, Pepper will be having to arrange even the smallest of details for prospective engaged couples. She will have her hands full with arranging those pesky, little details, as well as sleuthing in her spare time!

I don’t know if any of you have been keeping an eye on the Cozy Mystery site’s new page entitled New Cozy Mystery Book Series, but if you have, you already know that three of our Cozy Mystery authors are embarking on new series during the month of May. Wow! We had three new series during April, and now we have three more Cozy Mystery series to look forward to. Personally, I think that’s pretty neat!

 Dorothy Cannell, that’s right, Dorothy Cannell of the very popular Ellie Haskell Mystery Series (The Thin Woman, etc.) is starting the new Florence Norris Mystery Series. Florence is a housekeeper for the very upper-crust Stodmarsh family. She works at Mullings, the country house that has been in their family for three hundred years. The series takes place during the 1930s. Murder at Mullings will be the first in Cannell’s new Florence Norris Mystery Series.

 Hannah Dennison of the Vicky Hill Exclusive! Mystery Series is finally back, and after a three year absence she will be bringing us the new Kat Stanford Mystery Series. Kat Stanford was formerly a television celebrity host who now owns the Honeychurch Hall Antique Shop in England. Kat and her mother, Iris, had been planning on opening a fabulous antique shop, however Iris bought a shabby, old carriage house on a country estate that is not in a good location for an antique shop. Besides all of this bad news, Kat is discovering she doesn’t know everything there is to know about her mother. Murder at Honeychurch Hall is the first of the Kat Stanford Mystery Series.

Mary Ellen Hughes, the author of the Craft Corner Mystery Series as well as the Maggie Olenski Mystery Series, will be giving us the new Pickled and Preserved Mystery Series. This series takes place in Cloverdale, a small town in New York. Piper Lamb is the owner of Piper’s Picklings, a shop which specializes in pickels and preserves. Piper is given a great opportunity to showcase her pickles at the Cloverdale Fair, but instead of highlighting her pickles, she ends up having to highlight her sleuthing skills.The Pickled Piper is the first mystery in the Pickled and Preserved Mystery Series.

I don’t have any new Holiday Cozy Mysteries to tell you about this month, but I believe there are a couple I’ll be telling you about next month.
