It’s time once again to add another set of authors, taken as usual from your suggestions… This time I’ll be adding five new authors, most of whom only have one series (though one has a non-Cozy Mystery series many of you may enjoy!)
Ellie Alexander Alexander writes the Bakeshop Mystery Series, a Cozy series featuring Jules Capshaw, both an employee at her family Torte Bakeshop and an amateur sleuth living in a quaint Oregon town. Recipes are included in the series. (Meet Your Baker is the first in Bakeshop Mystery Series.)
Sherry Harris Harris is the writer of the Sarah Winston Garage Sale Mystery Series. A recent divorcée, Sarah’s always looking for a bargain – but sometimes she finds murder instead, and when that happens she’s quick to help get to the bottom of any mystery! (Tagged for Death is the first book in the Sarah Winston Garage Sale Mystery Series.)
Christine Husom Husom is the author of the Snow Globe Shop Mystery Series, starring Minnesotan Cami Brooks. Cami is an instructor on snow globe construction, as well as the manager of a gift shop. She uses her unique ability to see crime scenes in snow globes to help solve crimes. Husom writes another series set in Minnesota, the Winnebago County Mystery Series, a mystery thriller series. (Snow Way Out is the first book in the Snow Globe Shop Mystery Series.)
Maggie King King is the author of the Book Group Mystery Series, a series starring amateur sleuth and professional romance writer, Hazel Rose. (Murder at the Book Group is the first in the Book Group Mystery Series.)
Ruth Moose A North Carolina resident, Moose writes the Beth McKenzie Mystery series. The Dixie Dew is a small bed and breakfast in Littleboro, North Carolina, run by proprietor Beth McKenzie. When tragedy strikes at her small business and home, she’s forced to help solve the crime to keep her business afloat! (Doing It at the Dixie Dew is the first book in the Beth McKenzie Mystery Series.)
Margaret M. says
I found the new Maggie King series when ordering another book and it sounds like I might enjoy it. I’ll never know if i will like it until I read it, so it is worth the try. I love the League of Literary Ladies Mysteries, which is about a book group as well, and I think that idea is prime for a good cozy mystery. So, I have high hopes, and my first impressions are always pretty good. I was only disappointed 2 or 3 times with a “new to me author” so the odds are in my favor.

Margaret M, I try many new-to-me authors, some of whom I have been lucky enough to add to my favorite authors list!

I don’t buy many new mysteries, but I love garage sales*, so I’ll certainly be looking out for the Sherry Harris.
*You never know what you’re going to find! Lol!

Susan*, do you mean you never know what you’re going to find at a garage sale, trying a new-to-you author, or both?
Lois says
They all sound good and as a Snow Globe enthusiast I am looking forward to that series! Thanks so much for all the good info on so many wonderful series and authors. My TBR piles are spreading, I cannot read fast enough!

Lois, my TBR queue on my Kindle is so long, I now have different folders so that all of the Cozies don’t appear on the front page…

Hi Danna, Not sure if you know this author, didn’t see her listed. Maureen K. Howard has started a new series The Lake Erie Mysteries Series. First book is Sunny Side Up. It is about a 40+ woman and her wild friend who is a feelance journalist and talks her into going on assignments which include shopping and seem to get into situations that are not their fault and as usual she kinda snoops She writes it with her daughter. They have been going to the Islands for years and since I have been going since high school, we won’t talk about sleep on the beach, I can tell every place on Kelley’s Island she talks about. This is a good cozy and I could not put it down. I know she is working on her second book.
