I’ve got three pieces of good news about upcoming releases by established Cozy Mystery authors!

First, V.M. Burns will be releasing a new series under the name Valerie Burns, the Baker Street Mystery Series, which will be at least three entries long and is set to star a woman inheriting a bakery and a bullmastiff in Michigan from a deceased great aunt. Burns is already the author of the Mystery Bookshop Mystery Series, starring another Michigan sleuth owning a book store, and the Dog Club Mystery Series, starring a divorced CPA in Tennessee.

Next up, Maria DiRico (aka Ellen Byron), will be continuing her Catering Hall Mystery Series with at least a fourth entry in the series confirmed. Good news for readers who were disappointed that the Cajun Country Mystery Series has come to an end!

 

 

Finally, Amanda Flower   (aka Isabella Alan) will be starting a new series, the Emily Dickenson Mystery Series, starring the actual poet solving mysteries in 1850s Massachusetts, narrated by her fictional maid. The first entry will be titled Because I Could Not Stop For Death. Flower is already the author of the Farm to Table Mystery Series, the Amish Candy Shop Mystery Series, the Magical Bookshop Mystery Series, and the Amish Matchmaker Mystery Series, among others.

I’ve got just a few pieces of good news about established site authors this month…

First, Allison Brook (aka Marilyn Levinson) will be releasing Dewey Decimated, which will be at least the sixth entry in the Haunted Library Mystery Series, in which a body is located in a building near the Clover Ridge library where head of programs Carrie Singleton works.

Also, Annelise Ryan (aka Allyson K. Abbott & Beth Amos) will releasing A Monster at Death’s Door, which will be the first in a NEW series starring a Wisconsin based bookstore owner and cryptozoologist who investigates a series of suspicious deaths around Lake Michigan. This series will start with at least two books.

Well, I know this is a bit late in the month, but I do have plenty of Cozy mystery news to share with you, having four pieces of news about Cozy Mystery authors.

First, Anna Lee Huber will be continuing her Verity Kent Mystery Series with at least three more entries, bringing the series to at least eight total novels. At least one will feature the investigation of a disappearing colleague, but unfortunately no news yet on titles for any of the new entries.

 

Next up, Amy Patricia Meade will be continuing her Tish Tarragon Mystery Series with at least two more entries, bringing the series to at least seven entries. Again, unfortunately I don’t have any news on specific titles.

 

 

 

Andrea Penrose will be continuing the Wrexford & Sloane Mystery Series with a sixth entry, titled Murder at the Merton College Library. This particular entry will focus on the investigation of the death of an Oxford University librarian and the disappearance of several rare books on geology.

 

Finally, Paige Shelton will be putting out at least two more entries in the Alaska Wild Mystery Series, which will bring the series to at least five entries.

It’s a pretty good month for Cozy Mystery News – I have four pieces of news to share with you all about established site authors!

Victoria Gilbert will be putting out two more books in her Blue Ridge Library Mystery Series, which will take the series to a total of nine entries (there are two more that have been announced that I don’t have enough information on to put on her page yet). The names of these two new entries will be The Murder Index and A Catalog of Death. Gilbert is also the author of the Book Lover’s B&B Mystery Series.

Linda O. Johnston will be starting a new mystery series, the Wild Alaska Mystery Series, which will star a naturalist and tour boat guide investigating murder in the Klondike. The first entry in the series will be titled Bear Witness, and presumably have something to do with bears. Johnston is the author of multiple other series, including the Pet Rescue Mystery Series, the Superstition Mystery Series, and the Barkery & Biscuits Mystery Series.

G. M. Malliet will be writing a book either titled or about Augusta Hawke, a mystery writer who teams up with a private investigator who wants to collaborate on a book about an investigation. Malliet is also the author of the Max Tudor Mystery Series and the St. Just Mystery Series.

 

Olivia Matthews will be starting a new mystery series, the Spice Isle Bakery Mystery Series, with first entry Island in the Sun. This series will be set in Brooklyn, and star a baker who investigates the death of a rival baker after a series of threats between the deceased and the sleuth’s own family-owned West Indian bakery. This will be at least a three book series. Matthews also writes the Sister Lou Mystery Series.

Finally, Deanna Raybourn  will be releasing at least two more books in the Veronica Speedwell Mystery Series, though the two upcoming books are as-yet-unnamed. This will bring the series to a total of at least 9 entries (again, I don’t have information on the 7th yet, but hopefully that will be coming soon-ish). Raybourn is also the author of the Lady Julia Grey Mystery Series.
