Happy, Healthy New Year!

January 1, 2016

2016I am hoping that 2016 is a better, happier, healthier, more fun year for ALL of you than 2015 was. As my son and daughter get older (and of course my husband and I, too!) I feel like the years go faster and faster. I wish time would slow down, but you know what they say about wishes… 
Today, to celebrate the beginning of a New Year, I’m going to spend the day reading my current Kate Collins‘ Flower Shop mystery. I want to try to be all caught-up by the time Flower Shop Mysteries: Mum’s the Word premiers on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel on January 17. (Of course, with my always-a-few-books-behind syndrome, this might be the first resolution of the New Year that I don’t keep!) I hope ALL of you are able to spend today just the way you want to, and that this New Year will bring you much happiness.

Happy New Year to ALL of you!

Cozy Mystery Authors with No Profanity/Swearing, Please…

December 26, 2015

ReadingHere’s part of another letter that I received from a Cozy Mystery readers. Deborah asks:

… I wanted to know if you do, or if you could stipulate which novels are more appropriate for younger readers. I note that you mentioned on your blog that more and more, authors are using profanity, etc. I for one do not appreciate this, and my 12 year old daughter, who reads well beyond her grade level, loves mysteries, but not the vulgarities.

When I first read this letter, I thought immediately of these two theme entries and this Cozy Mystery series:

Mystery Books with No Profanity (Swearing) and/or Faith-Based Mystery Books

Mystery Books for Pre Teens…

Margaret Grace (aka Camille Minichino, Ada Madison, & Jean Flowers): Miniature Mystery Series (no profanity and the main character’s granddaughter and sidekick is a preteen)

I also thought about asking you ALL if you can think of one, two, or maybe three Cozy Mystery authors who you think would be great for Deborah to begin checking out for her daughter. If you can think of an author who you think qualifies for this question, please post a comment. Thank you!
