Two New Cozy Mystery Series, One New Cozy Mystery Holiday Book Coming January 2019

For the beginning of the new year, we can look forward to two new Cozy Mystery Series by established authors, one of which is a Holiday-themed Cozy Mystery entry!

First, Christina Freeburn will be releasing Not a Creature Was Stirring, the first in her new Merry & Bright Handcrafted Mystery Series. Now that her children are all grown, Merry Winters has decided to enjoy her passions of Christmas, crafting, and her family by going on the road in an RV to a Christmas vendor event, but she’s surprised to find her ex-husband aboard the RV already – and even more surprised to find him dead. Now she’ll need to find the real killer to make sure that she can enjoy the holidays decked out in red and green instead of prison-issue orange! Freeburn also writes the Faith Hunter Scrap This Mystery Series, starring a former US army JAG specialist now running a scrapbooking store.

The other new series will be Diane Kelly‘s Dead as a Door Knocker, the first in the House-Flipper Mystery Series. Whitney Whitaker is a house flipper working on a fixer-upper with a problem she hasn’t seen before – a dead body in the flower bed! Suffice to say, that sort of thing doesn’t help property values, so finishing this job will unexpectedly require the clearing up the death. Diane Kelly also writes the Tara Holloway Mystery Series, starring an IRS criminal investigations agent, and the Paw Enforcement Mystery Series, starring a police officer and her K-9 partner.

Finally! One of My Very Favorite Authors is Kindle-ized!

Just a quick note…

Those of you who have been with me for a while may remember how much I like Patricia Moyes.  I had just found out about her wonderful Henry Tibbett Mystery Series when I decided to start reading all of my books on a Kindle. I quickly became spoiled by being able to adjust the font of my books. I hadn’t read the entire series, but since I “knew” Henry Tibbett would soon be Kindle-ized, I gave Goodwill all of my paperbacks. Hmmm… Who would have guessed that it would take years and years for  the Patricia Moyes series would finally be released in e-book format!

Anyway, just yesterday I found out the first eleven Henry Tibbett’s are now available in Kindle format. It took me about one minute to order the next one, and then I decided to order the first one as well so I can write a blog entry about it. I’ll be posting that soon – although I am currently spending my reading time on holiday Cozies.

(I was going to just post a quick note to let you know about the first eleven Henry Tibbett mysteries being Kindle-ized, but got a little carried away.)

P.S. By the way, even though Henry Tibbett is a Scotland Yard inspector, I find this series to be very Cozy…
