Cozy Mystery News – December 2020

Well, it’s a bit late in the month… I’ve been holding this off a while, since I don’t have a lot of big news, but I still have a few bits of Cozy Mystery news to share!

First, Bree Baker (aka Jacqueline Frost, Julie Chase, & Julie Anne Lindsey), will be putting out another three books in her Seaside Cafe Mystery Series, taking the series to a total of seven. The title of one of the new ones will be Partners in Lime, and of course the series will continue featuring seaside ice tea shop owner Everly Swan in Charm, North Carolina. Bree Baker, probably better known to many readers as Julie Anne Lindsey, is the author of many Cozy Mystery Series – including all of her pseudonyms, she has at least nine, though few are more than a few entries long.

Second, Vicki Delany (aka Eva Gates), will be starting up a new series, the Catskill Mystery Series, which will star a woman helping run a family resort in the Catskill Mountains. There will be at least two books in the series. Delany already has eight other series, some of which only have a couple of entries, but others that are in the 5-10 books range, as well as a number of stand-alone books.

And… that’s it! Not a whole lot of news this month, but what there is there is good!

Four New-to-the-Site Cozy Authors

It’s been quite some time since I added new authors to the site… well, there won’t be any major site releases this week, so I thought today would be a good day for that!

Esme Addison is originally from Raleigh, North Carolina, and she’s returned there after a long stint away in various locations such as New York and Japan as a military spouse. She has spent much of that time in writing, both as a technical writer and as a professional in the publishing industry. Her series, the Enchanted Bay Mystery Series, stars another North Carolina native who is returning home to help work at her family’s business in herbal remedies.

Eve Calder is a Florida native. Her series, the Cookie House Mystery Series, stars a Manhattan native who is starting over as a baker’s assistant in Coral Cay, Florida.

Holly Quinn is a graduate from the Carroll University in Wisconsin with a Bachelor’s in Science. She is the author of the Handcrafted Mystery Series, starring a woman returning to her hometown in Wisconsin to take over a craft shop.
