September is a big month for Holiday mystery book releases this year, but we are only being treated to one NEW Cozy Mystery series. (Starting tomorrow I’ll be posting about all of the new Holiday mystery books that will be released during September.)
Mary Kennedy (who is already on the Cozy Mystery site) will be starting a new mystery series this September. Most of you probably already know Mary Kennedy from her Talk Radio Mystery Series, in which her sleuth (Maggie Walsh) is a talk show radio host in Florida. Maggie turned in her clinical psychologist job in order to host her radio show, and also found time to solve some mysteries along the way.
Well, now Mary Kennedy will have a new mystery series called the Dream Club Mystery Series. This series, unlike her Talk Radio series, will take place in sultry Savannah, Georgia. The sleuth of the Dream Club series is named Taylor Blake, and she is a business consultant who has returned to Savannah in order to help her sister open the candy shop she has always wanted to open. Nightmares Can be Murder is the 1st mystery in this series.
Taylor joins her sister’s dream analyzing club and then is struck by how familiar one of the discussed dreams is to a murder of someone Taylor’s sister dated. Unfortunately, Taylor’s sister becomes a suspect in the murder, and it is left to Taylor to solve the crime.

Danna, Mary Kennedy’s new series definitely piqued my interest. I think there also may be two other series premiering in September:
Aarons, Kathy – Death is Like a Box of Chocolates; and
Cantrell, Janet – Fat Cat at Large $7.99 Berkley

Danna, I forgot to mention that Penny Pike is a pseudonym for Penny Warner, author of the Connor Westphalia and the Oarty Pkanner cozy series for adults, as well as the Code Busters series for children.

Readingprincess, Penny Warner/Penny Pike just sent me an email yesterday telling me about her new Food Festival Mystery Series, so I added a page for her on the site. Her Code Busters Club mysteries (for children) are doing so phenomenally well, that I wasn’t sure if she would be able to continue writing Cozy Mysteries for us (adults). I’m glad to see she will!

Hi Danna,
The Witch City Mystery series begins next Tuesday, Sept. 2, with “Caught Dead Handed.” The series, from Kensington, continues in April 2015 with “Tails, You Lose.”

Carol, thank you so much for telling us about your new Cozy Mystery books: the Witch City Mystery Series. I have added the first in the series (Caught Dead Handed) to the Halloween mystery book list on the site.

Thanks so much for the shout-out about Nightmares Can Be Murder, sorry I missed seeing this post earlier. Tuesday was release day and it was great fun. By the way, Victoria Abbott’s The Wolfe Widow was also released on Tuesday. It’s one of the Book Collectors Mysteries and is terrific. Thanks again! Happy reading and sweet dreams.
