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)
