Ruth Birmingham, Walter Sorrells, Lynn Abercrombie, David Handler, 1/2 of Russell Andrews, Charlotte Hughes, Marne Davis Kellogg : Four (not 7?) New Authors to the Cozy Mystery Site

June 2, 2009

Here are the last of the authors I have posted on the Cozy Mystery Site. As you all know, I get recommendations from site readers who think that “their” authors will fit in with the site’s Cozy theme. If you have recommended an author who is not in this last batch to be posted, not to worry! I am already working on the next group of authors who you all have recommended to be part of the Cozy Mystery Site.

Walter Sorrells, Ruth Birmingham, & Lynn Abercrombie: All three of these authors are one-and-the-same person. Birmingham writes the Sunny Childs Mystery Series, Lynn Abercrombie has the Cold Case Thriller Series, and Walter Sorrells writes stand-alone thrillers, along with the Hunted Series and the Chass Pureheart Series for young adults.

David Handler (and 1/2 of Russell Andrews): Handler writes two mystery series by himself: the Berger & Mitry Mystery Series, which features a film critic and a policewoman and the Stewart Hoag & Lulu Mystery Series, which features a loyal Basset Hound and her ghostwriter owner. Handler teams up with Peter Gethers to write as Russell Andrews.

Charlotte Hughes: Hughes writes the Kate Holly Mystery Series which features a clinical psychologist. She also co-authors the Max Holt Full Series with Janet Evanovich.   

Marne Davis Kellogg: Kellogg writes two series: the Kick Keswick Mystery Series which features a retired jewel thief and auctioneer, and the Lilly Bennett Mystery Series which features a Wyoming private detective.

Thank you all for your author recommendations!

Marnette Falley, Karen E. Olson, Wendy Roberts, & Beth Sherman : Four New Mystery Authors on the Cozy Mystery Site

May 31, 2009

As most of the regular readers of the Cozy Mystery Site already know, I add new authors (to me, anyway!) to the site that you all have recommended. When I post the new authors, I haven’t read any of them (yet!) >>> but I must say that some of the recommended authors really do look interesting to me.

Marnette Falley: Falley wrote the latest (fourth) book in the popular Queen Bees Quilt Mystery Series, which was started by Sally Goldenbaum.

Karen E. Olson: Olson writes the Tattoo Shop Mystery Series which is set in Las Vegas. (I believe this is the first with the tattoo theme.) She also writes the Annie Seymour Mystery Series…

Wendy Roberts: Roberts writes the Ghost Dusters Mystery Series which features a death scene cleaning company. The main character gets help solving mysteries from ghosts.

Beth Sherman: Sherman writes the Jersey Shore Mystery Series which features a ghostwriter (as in “author” not the 6th sense!) from the Jersey Shore…

“Thank you” to all of you who have made author recommendations!

Bill Crider, Gail Fraser, Josi S. Kilpack, Lynda S. Robinson : What Do These Authors Have In Common?!?

April 14, 2009

Hmmm…. The title of this blog asks what the four following authors have in common >>> Well, the easiest answer for me to post is that all four of them have been recommended by several Cozy Mystery Site Readers for me to add to the site. Other than that… let’s see… They are all authors! But, they are not all mystery authors.

Bill Crider is a best-selling author who wrote his PhD dissertation about the hardboiled detective novel. He recently retired from being an English professor so that he could spend more of his time writing novels. He has several mystery series, including the Dan Rhodes Mystery Series. He co-authored the Stanley Waters Mystery Series with Willard Scott, the weatherman from the Today Show. And, Crider even authored a Wishbone book… a favorite for children.

Gail Fraser has her MBA and worked in corporate America before writing her Lumby Series. If you like Jan Karon’s Mitford Series, you might enjoy Fraser’s Lumby Series… which is not a mystery series.

Josi S. Kilpack  just started her Sadie Hoffmiller Culinary Mystery Series, which includes recipes. (She writes inspirational books.)

Lynda S. Robinson (aka Suzanne Robinson) has her PhD in Anthropology and writes the Lord Meren Series, which is set during ancient Egypt’s reign of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Lord Meren is the main investigator in the kingdom. (She also writes ancient Egyptian, Elizabethan, Victorian, and Civil War historical romance novels as Suzanne Robinson.) Because of her studies and field work, her historical novels (both her mysteries and her romances) are said to be very accurate portrayals of their given eras.

Elizabeth Dearl: Dearl is an ex-policewoman who writes the Taylor Madison Mystery Series which features a Texas author/sleuth…  

Shelly Fredman: Fredman is an elementary teacher who writes the Brandy Alexander Mystery Series features a journalist who lives in Philadelphia, who is able to solve mysteries while covering the story…       

Paul Magrs: Magrs, a British professor of Creative Writing, writes the (British) Brenda & Effie Mystery Series. The series involves two best friends who involve themselves in supernatural investigations…
