I’m adding new authors to the site —-> four authors this time. As always, these are authors I’ve heard of from visitors to the site, either through comments or by email. I haven’t had a chance to read any of their books yet, but I think they look interesting!
Gretchen Archer lives in Lookout Mountain, Tennessee with her son, husband, and Yorkie. (Her daughters have flown the coop.) She is the bestselling author of the Davis Way Crime Caper Mystery Series, starring a security expert in the Bellissimo Resort and Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi.
Catherine Bruns is an Upstate New York native, with a bachelor’s degree in English and Performing Arts. She’s worked as a newspaper reporter and press release author. She is the author of the USA Today bestselling Cookies & Chance Mystery Series, starring a baker in Colwestern, New York, and the Cindy York Mystery Series, starring a real estate agent. She’s a busy author who lives with her husband, three sons, and both cats and dogs.
Mary Feliz lives in Silicon Valley in California, but has lived in many other places – including five states and two different countries. She is a graduate of Smith College with a degree in Sociology, and has worked in corporate communications. She’s the author of the Maggie McDonald Mystery Series, starring a mother, wife, and professional organizer. Mary actually joined the National Association of Professional Organizers so that she could immerse herself in her character’s profession!
Nancy Herriman was once an engineer, but ended that career to raise her children and take up writing. She now lives in Ohio (after twenty years of living in Arizona) with her husband and sons. She writes the Mystery of Old San Francisco Mystery Series, which stars Celia Davies. Although Celia was born in Great Britain, she lives in San Francisco during the 1860s. She is a nurse who has founded a free medical clinic for the poor to be able to receive medical attention.
I hope you enjoy all these great looking Cozy Mystery authors!

I own (but haven’t yet read) the Gretchen Archer Davis Way series, but the Mary Feliz and Catherine Bruns series are new to me. Thanks for the heads-up! I bought the first of each to give a try.
I’ve read previous books by Ms. Archer, so felt easy with buying her books without reading the first one in this series. She has a sense of humor in her writing which I enjoy quite a bit. I’m moving the Davis Way books up in my Need-to-Read list!

Stellans, I hope to see you recommend one of these three new authors on the monthly recommendations entry. I haven’t tried any of their books yet, but the Cozy Mystery readers who recommended them seem to like them a lot.
Mary says
I enjoy the Davis books very much. What else has Gretchen Archer written?
stellans says
I was wrong! I got mixed up with another author’s series with a Gretchen in it.
Airieanne says
That book by Nancy Herriman appeals to me. Thanks for the heads up.

Airieanne, you’re welcome. I sure hope you enjoy her books!
Jo says
Thank you! I’m on a 19th century historical fiction kick just now, so the intro to Nancy Herriman is just the thing! Plus, who doesn’t like a bit of the SanFran Barbary Coast? NO ONE, that’s who.
