I just copied the following blog directly from my What’s New on the Cozy Mystery Site page… So, if you are a regular reader of that page, you will probably not be interested in reading this blog which covers the four new authors I just finished adding to the site. (Since you have already read about them on the What’s New page, NOT because you aren’t interested in the authors!!!)

I am trying to get back into adding some of the authors who site readers have recommended. I  had been working on putting pictures of the covers of authors’ books on their individual pages, but found that it was simply taking too much time to make much progress on that project. (I just finished the "C" authors!)

Today I am adding an author who does not write mysteries, but who several site readers recommended as someone who might fit in well with the cozy theme of the site: Jennifer Chiaverini writes the Elm Creek Quilts Series. (I have added Chiaverini to the Quilting Theme page.)

Nina Wright writes the Whiskey Mattimoe Mystery Series. Whiskey is a realtor in a resort area in Michigan, and Abra is her trusty Afghan Hound sleuthing partner. (A new addition to the Dog Theme page.)

The third recommended author I added to the site today is Claire M. Johnson. Johnson writes the Mary Ryan, Pastry Chef Mystery Series… which I have added to the Culinary Mystery Theme page.

The last (but by no means least!) author is Evan Marshall. Marshall writes the Jane Stuart & Winky Mystery Series and is also beginning a new series called the Hidden Manhattan Mystery Series. I have added Marshall to the Cat Theme page, also.

Well, what can I say? You all have let me know about some authors who look like they might make for some really good reading! I added six new authors to the site:

G. K. Chesterton wrote the classic Father Brown Mystery series of stories.

Michael Innes wrote the classic Scotland Yard Inspector Sir John Appleby Mystery Series from the 1930s to the 1980s.

Beth Groundwater writes a mystery series that takes place in beautiful Colorado Springs, where the sleuth owns a gift basket shop.

Terri Thayer writes two mystery series, one of which features a computer techie who inherits a quilt shop and a series (coming soon!) which features a rubber stamping sleuth.

Mary Saums writes two mystery series, one features two 60 something widows and the other revolves around a private investigator/backup singer in Nashville.

Arlene Sachitano has just started the quilting mystery series called Loose Threads.

I’m not sure if people who read this blog are aware of when I add new Cozy Mystery Authors to the site. I get most of my additions from readers of the site… When I first started this Cozy Mystery site, I only included the authors who I had actually read. Most of them were authors who I enjoyed reading, but there were a few who I had tried and hadn’t taken a liking to… I included them anyway. Just because I don’t particularly like an author’s style doesn’t mean that the author isn’t good. And, there are several very popular authors who I do not read… But, that’s another subject!

Anyway, the last few authors I included to the site are:

Sarah Andrews is a professional geologist who writes the Em Hansen and the Valena Walker Mystery Series, both of which have geologist sleuths…

Sarah Atwell writes the Glassblowing Mystery Series with Em Dowell as her sleuth…

D. B. Borton writes the Cat Caliban Mystery Series that features a 60s something sleuth… (As Della Borton she writes the Movie Lovers’ Mystery Series)…

Meg Cabot writes the Heather Wells Mystery Series which features a former teenage idol who has changed professions and is now a private investigator…

Margaret Coel writes the bestselling Wind River Mystery Series, set in the world of an Arapaho reservation in Wyoming…
