P. J. Alderman, Jackie Chance, J. Michael Orenduff, & S. S. Van Dine… Four New Authors on the Cozy Mystery Site

May 3, 2011

Here are the four newest additions to the Cozy Mystery site. These four authors are people who some of you have recommended as belonging on the site:

P. J. Alderman writes the Port Chatham Mystery Series. This series belongs in the paranormal category. Jordan Marsh is the sleuth who lives in the Pacific northwestern coast of the USA. She solves her mysteries while inhabiting her haunted house…

Jackie Chance writes the Poker Mystery Series. This series follows the sleuth as she leaves her old life in the advertising field (as well as her fiancé) and becomes an amateur status poker champion…

J. Michael Orenduff is an ex-math professor who writes the Pot Thief Mystery Series. This series is set in Albuquerque, and centers on Hubert Schuze, a treasure hunter who owns the Spirits in Clay shop…

S. S. Van Dine is a pseudonym for an art critic who wrote the Philo Vance Mystery Series. Philo Vance is a rich art collector in New York. (One of my favorite actors – William Powell – played Philo in several movies… which, if you are familiar with Powell’s work, might give you an idea of Philo’s personality…)

    I LOVE Philo Vance Mysteries. But it’s very complicated to get them in Spanish (I haven’t tried in English).

      Marisa, I would guess it’s difficult to get a lot of the older mysteries in Spanish. (I hadn’t thought of that before…)

      Karen, apparently you are not alone! I got several recommendations to add P. J. Alderman to the site… (And, I’m glad you’re enjoying the site.)

    Advertising to poker – sounds like a great premise! I may just have to check out the Poker Mystery Series. Actually, they all sound pretty interesting.

      You’re right, Edie, the advertising field to poker is quite a transition!
