I am in the process of trying to add more mystery authors who you all have recommended for me to add to the Cozy Mystery site. Those of you who requested authors a while ago must be wondering why I haven’t listed them yet. So, without further ado, here are the four newest mystery authors I have added to the Cozy Mystery site.
Laura Alden: PTA Mystery Series… This series has, as its sleuth, the owner of a children’s bookstore. She is a single parent. The first in the series was nominated for the Agatha Award for Best First Novel.
Phillip DePoy: Fever Devilin Mystery Series AND Flap Tucker Mystery Series… Fever Devilin is an Appalachian folklorist and Flap Tucker is a private detective. Both series take place in Georgia.
Sean Keefer: Stand Alone Mysteries… Keefer is an attorney from South Carolina. His debut, stand alone mystery features an attorney from South Carolina.
Nancy Jill Thames: Jillian Bradley Mystery Series… The sleuth in this series is a gardening columnist. She solves her mysteries at different resorts, accompanied by Teddy, her little Yorkshire Terrier. This series is on the “No Profanity” list of mystery books.

Danna, I don’t know where else to share this so I’ll put it here. I just finished “An Inconvenient Corpse” by Jackie King, and REALLY liked it. When I wrote a review on the website where I purchased it, the author replied indicating she is working on her second in the series. I will buy it. I love her characters and the story line. Very little “obnoxious” language and no interferring romance. thanks again for your great website.

Elaine Faber says
As a yet unpublished writer with one complete mystery, and the second in the works, I’m still seeking a publisher. Your mention of a “no profanity” mystery intrigues me. My “mind candy mysteries” are all G-rate re: sex or profanity. Is there a particular publishing house that seeks these type of submissions from new writers? Suggestions?

A good author is RITA LAKIN. She writes about these old jewish ladies who live in FLORIDA in a retirement community and solve murders.
