Four New Authors to this Mystery Book Site: Evelyn David, Louise Ure, Katherine Valentine, & Penny Warner

September 3, 2009

Here are four new authors who have been recommended for the site. 

Evelyn David is the pseudonym for two authors, one with a degree in Biology and the other with a Political Science degree. As David, they write the Sullivan Investigations Mystery Series which features a divorcée mortician who sleuths with an ex-policeman and “Whiskey,”  his Irish Wolfhound…

Two New Mystery Book Authors: Dick Francis and Andrew M. Greeley

August 30, 2009

Several of you have asked me to add two mystery book authors to the site who don’t write Cozy Mysteries. (Actually, I get quite a few requests for me to add non-Cozy mystery authors to the site!) I have had both of these mystery book authors on my list of “authors to do” for a while now, and thought that this would be a great time to add them. They are both hugely popular authors:

Dick Francis   Francis was a champion jockey in Great Britain. His career even included riding for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. After suffering an injury, he retired from being a jockey and he now has a very successful career writing mysteries which take place in the world of horse racing. (Not Cozy)

Andrew M. Greeley    Greeley, an alumni of University of Chicago (both M. A. and Ph.D.) is a Chicago priest who has two best selling mystery book series. One mystery series features Blackie Ryan, a Chicago priest/sleuth.  His other best selling mystery book series features an immigrant/psychic/sleuth.  (Not Cozy)

Church Choir Mystery Book Series List of Books…

August 21, 2009

I have received several letters asking that I find more Cozy mystery books that are “faith-based.” With this in mind, I posted the

Heartsong Presents Mystery Book Series

Mystery and the Minister’s Wife Mystery Book Series a while back,

and today I just posted the Church Choir Mystery Book Series.

I believe that both the Heartsong Presents and the Church Choir mystery book series were types of book clubs in the past. Since I was not a member of either of these series, I don’t know exactly how they worked… I don’t know whether they sent out a given number of books each month, or if you picked and chose which books you wanted each month. Either way, the mystery books appealed (and still do!) to many.

Here is an update: I have added the Hope Haven Book Series (not mysteries)

and the Home to Heather Creek Book Series (not mysteries) to the site. Both series are published by Guideposts.

Also, I have added Tales from Grace Chapel Inn (not mysteries) to the site.

If you want lists, I’ve got them!!! I also have a list of mystery book authors who do not use profanity in their books…

I hope that those of you who have requested these mystery book lists can use them as starting points…
