I have one piece of good news for you from an established Cozy Mystery author – well, technically two pieces of good news, but about the same author!
Clea Simon will be releasing two novels that appear to be disconnected from any of her existing series, which should be coming out in 2024 and 2025. The first will be Bad Boy Beat, starring a rookie female reporter assigned to the police beat, while the second will be The Blue Butterfly, which will be a darker psychological suspense about a struggling Boston artist and a doctor in training. Simon has written a number of mystery series over the years, including the Pru Marlowe, Pet Noir Mystery Series, the Dulcie Shwartz Mystery Series, and the Witch Cats of Cambridge Mystery Series.
Ken Bailey says
Ummmm, did you mean they’d be coming out in 2024 and 2025?

Ken, yes, thanks, fixed that typo! (Feels like I’ve been making more “little mistakes” like that lately…)
Marisa says
Just a comment: 2024 and 2025? Good news, as I like this author.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Marisa, yes, sorry about that! Fixed that typo.
Jill says
Did you mean 2024 and 2025? Or are the books a re-release?
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Jill, yes, sorry, that was a typo. Fixed now to 2024 and 2025.
Patti St Marie Wilson says
I don’t understand this announcement. It says Clea Simon’s new books are coming out in 2014-2015 on a post dated October 2023. Do you mean 2024-2025?
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Patti, yes, sorry about that – I fixed that typo.
