This month, I have three pieces of good news to share about site authors!
First, Julie Anne Lindsey (aka Jacqueline Frost, Julie Chase, & Bree Baker) will be starting a new series, the Beaumont Brothers Mystery Series, which will feature a rural family works together to both help the community and help the law. The series has already been approved for four entries! Lindsey is the author of many series, including the Cider Shop Mystery Series and the Seaside Cafe Mystery Series.
Next, Leslie Budewitz will be putting out at another book in her Spice Shop Mystery Series, which will take the series to a total of seven. One which will be a Lunar New Year holiday release, and like the rest of the series will feature Seattle Spice Shop owner Pepper Reece. Budewitz is also the author of the Food Lovers’ Village Mystery Series.
Finally, Edith Maxwell (aka Maddie Day & Tace Baker) will be starting the Cece Barton Mysteries under the name Maddie Day, which will star Cece Barton, a wine bar manager in a fictional wine country town near San Francisco. Maxwell is the author of the Local Foods Mystery Series, the Quaker Widwife Mystery Series, and the Country Store Mystery Series, among others.
Susy S says
I want all of them! These are all authors on my must buy ASAP list.
Looking forward to spending more time with Pepper and the Spice shop gang and looking forward to meeting more great characters in the series.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Susy, I hope you enjoy them when they get here!
Sheri says
Will there be anymore Cider Shop Mysteries? I just recently read all three and loved them.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Sheri, I haven’t heard anything about this series either way, but it has only been about a year since the last, so it’s not too late for more to possibly be released.
Leslie Budewitz says
Thanks, Susy! I’m well into #7 right now and it’s great fun to hang with Pepper and the gang again!
Susy S says
I have already pre-ordered Peppermint Barked, and am really looking forward to reading it. Christmas in July can be especially appealing since I live in the central desert of Arizona.
Susan says
The Solace of Bay Leaves is actually #5 in the Spice Shop series, bringing the total to 8. Love this series. Thanks for sharing the good news!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Susan, thanks for the correction!
Leslie Budewitz says
So glad you like the Spice Shop series, Susan! I admit, Solace is one of my favorites of all my books. #6 will be out this July and I’m working on #7.
Leslie Budewitz says
Thanks for the shout out! Peppermint Barked, the 6th Spice Shop mystery, will be out July 19, 2022. Christmas in the Market! I haven’t actually titled the 7th yet, although it does take place at the Lunar New Year — all suggestions welcome! (It’s set for publication in July 2023.)
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Leslie, you’re welcome – and thank you for writing Cozies! I’ll adjust the post and your site page as well.
Deb Lange says
Are some of these audio books? Are any available thru library? Thanks in advance for info.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Deb, I don’t know – you’ll have to check with your library when they are released. These books are still all quite some time from release.
Just Jane says
I listen to TONS of books on Hoopla or Axis360 through my library – I hope your library offers this to its patrons, too!
