One New Cozy Mystery Series, One New Cozy Mystery Holiday Book Coming March 2019

Well, last month I tried running this type of post for the “current” month rather than a month early and asked people what their opinion was regarding when they wanted to see it. The results were close, but slightly veered toward seeing it a month in advance, so that’s what I’ll be doing going forward. After this post, we’ll still be a month “behind” at this point by that method, so we’ll be having another of these “upcoming new series and holiday Cozies” in the next few days for April’s releases.

That said, this is March’s releases!

Essie Lang will be releasing Trouble on the Books, the first in her new Castle Bookshop Mystery Series. Shelby Cox is returning to her hometown of Alexandria Bay in upstate New York to take her aunt’s bookstore’s second location on a nearby island, but as the town is preparing for tourist season, her own preparations will be cut short by the death of a local volunteer coordinator. Essie Lang might be a new name, but you may recognize her other pen names, Linda Wiken (under which she writes the Dinner Club Mystery Series) and Erika Chase (under which she writes the Ashton Corners Book Club Mystery Series).

Karen MacInerney will be putting out the fifth book in her Dewberry Farm Mystery Series, Dyeing Season, an Easter-themed Cozy. Lucy Resnick has a lot to prepare for this spring season, and a tornado swinging by her property doesn’t help things… nor does discovering the body of a neighbor’s home health aide when she’s about her property trying to round up her scattered livestock. And that won’t be the only body found this Easter season… Karen MacInerney writes multiple other series, including the Gray Whale Inn Mystery Series, the Margie Peterson Mystery Series, and the Beading Mystery Series.

New Releases – March 4 to March 10, 2019

Here is the list of new releases for March 4 to March 10!

Laura Childs: Broken Bone China (This will be the 20th in the Tea Shop Mystery Series.)

Jeffery Deaver: Captivated (This will be a story with a lot of suspense.)

Carolyn Haines: Bone-a-fied Trouble (This will be the 9th book in the Familiar Legacy Mystery Series. Haines’ Sarah Booth Delaney characters will have a cameo in this mystery book.)

M. Louisa Locke: Scholarly Pursuits (This will be the 6th in the Victorian San Francisco Mystery Series.)

Kirsten Weiss: Chocolate à la Murder (This will be the 4th in the Perfectly Proper Paranormal Museum Mystery Series.)

I’ve Heard about Christmas in July, but What about September and October?

I’ve been busy updating the Soon to be Released page on my site, and it looks to me like some editors have decided to showcase Holiday Cozy Mysteries! As some of you know, I’m all for that!

I know I’ve talked a whole lot about how we never see a “real” winter here in San Antonio.  Today, while I was walking our puppy (Cocoa), I saw three different houses that had irises blooming. Yep … we are three weeks away from spring, and already we have flowers blooming that usually wait until “early spring to early summer” (according to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden site). (I absolutely love reading Cozies during the holiday season – they give me a little taste of the colder months that I miss…)

Not only are there Christmas themed Cozy Mysteries being released in September and October, there is one that’s going to be released in August! And, I found a New Year’s Eve book as well!

Wow, am I glad someone is making more holiday Cozies available for readers like me who look forward to reading them!

So here’s a reminder for you all: Take a look at the Soon to be Released page on my site every once in a while. (I try to keep it updated.) Not only will you be able to find Holiday Cozies, you will probably find one, two, or even more of your favorite Cozy Mystery authors who will be releasing new books.
