I am going to try to write about the NEW Cozy Mystery series that Cozy Mystery authors on the site are starting, as well as the NEW Cozy Mystery holiday books that are coming out. However, I don’t have any new series to tell you about that will be beginning in July 2014. I do have one seasonal/holiday Cozy Mystery that will be released during July 2014, though.
Dawn Eastman‘s second Family Fortune Mystery is due out this July: Be Careful What You Witch For. From what I can see (remember, I don’t accept Advanced Reading Copies – so I haven’t pre-read it!) it will be a Fall Festival Cozy Mystery. (I put it on the Halloween theme list.)
The Family Fortune Mystery Series features Clytemnestra Fortune >>> Clyde for short! Clyde is an ex policewoman who has returned to her home town (Crystal Haven) in Michigan. Crystal Haven is a rather paranormal-type of town. It’s a tourist’s destination for people who want to connect with their psychic-side.
Clyde’s mom is a tarot reader, her aunt is a pet psychic, and Clyde, well, let’s just say she fits right into her family of psychically-endowed women.

Sounds like the perfect birthday gift for my twin sister (July 12th!)!
She loves the paranormal & witch-y ones!

Petie, how neat to share a birthday with your sister. Lucky you!

This cozy series sounds like one I might enjoy. I’ll need to check to see if my library or an online source has the first one. I never start a cozy mystery series in the middle…I’d just be always playing catch up. Thanks for the heads up on this author and the series.

Sandy T, I’m guessing your library has Dawn Eastman’s Pall in the Family…

This is an FYI in case anyone would be interested:
I saw a book (release date 7-1) I thought looked interesting and seems to fit into the ‘cozy’ category. It’s ‘Ill-Gotten Panes’ by Jennifer McAndrews. It’s the first book in her Stained Glass Mystery series. Since this is a new author (and I think her first book), she’s not listed on the site. Of course, this ‘name’ could be a pseudonym. Her website (jennifermcandrews.com) gives more info about this series (as does B&N or Amazon).

MJ, thanks for giving us the heads-up about Jennifer McAndrews’ Ill-Gotten Panes. It’s an original theme. The only other “glass” mystery series I can think of is Sarah Atwell’s (aka Sheila Connolly’s) Glassblowing one…
