I am in the process of trying to add more mystery authors who you all have recommended for me to add to the Cozy Mystery site. Those of you who requested authors a while ago must be wondering why I haven’t listed them yet. So, without further ado, here are the four newest mystery authors I have added to the Cozy Mystery site.

Laura Alden: PTA Mystery Series… This series has, as its sleuth, the owner of a children’s bookstore. She is a single parent. The first in the series was nominated for the Agatha Award for Best First Novel.

Phillip DePoy: Fever Devilin Mystery Series AND Flap Tucker Mystery Series… Fever Devilin is an Appalachian folklorist and Flap Tucker is a private detective. Both series take place in Georgia.

Sean Keefer: Stand Alone Mysteries… Keefer is an attorney from South Carolina. His debut, stand alone mystery features an attorney from South Carolina.

Nancy Jill Thames: Jillian Bradley Mystery Series… The sleuth in this series is a gardening columnist. She solves her mysteries at different resorts, accompanied by Teddy, her little Yorkshire Terrier. This series is on the “No Profanity” list of mystery books.

I am (again!) trying to post a few of the many mystery authors you all have recommended as belonging on the site. The four newest mystery author additions to the site are:

Mike Befeler   Befeler, with his Stanford Bachelor’s and his UCLA Master’s, writes the Paul Jacobson Geezer-Lit Mystery Series. This series has a unique sleuth, as he is an octogenarian. 

Janet Bolin   Bolin writes the Threadville Mystery Series. This series will be of special interest to those of us who enjoy needleworking of all types: embroidery, crocheting, knitting, quilting, all sorts of arts, and/or crafts. The series takes place in a village which attracts many people with these interests. The sleuth is the owner of a high-tech embroidery shop.

Joyce Oroz   Oroz is a painter/author who writes the Josephine Stuart Mystery Series. Josephine, the sleuth, is a middle aged painter who is recently widowed.

Dorothy St. James  St. James pens the White House Gardener Mystery Series which, of course, takes place in Washington D C. The sleuth is an assistant gardener who has been hand-picked by the first lady.

Here are the four newest additions to the Cozy Mystery site. Remember that they have been recommended for me to add to the site by site readers. I have asked people to only recommend Cozy Mystery authors, as I add authors to the site without having actually read them … yet!

Robin Allen: Poppy Markham: Culinary Cop Mystery Series. I believe that this is actually the first of its “culinary type” mystery. This series features a health inspector in Austin.

Sofie Kelly: Magical Cats Mystery Series. This series is set in Minnesota, and features a librarian who solves mysteries with the help of her two previously stray, magical cats.

Leslie Kohler: Kohler writes Stand Alone mysteries. The first (Sins of the Border) is set in Scottsdale, Arizona. It features a suburbs’ mom who uses her ex-reporter skills in this case regarding illegal immigration.

Roz Siegel: Emily’s Place Mystery Series. The sleuth in this series is the owner of a high-end shoe shop that serves as a meeting place for lovers of fashionable shoes. Unfortunately, one of the stilettos is used for more than its intended purpose.

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.
