Cozy Mystery (and Other Favorite) Books, Movies, and TV

Thank You ALL for “Liking” My Cozy Mystery Facebook Page & Visiting My Pinterest Page!

happyAs the title of this entry says: Thank You ALL!!!

A little less than two weeks ago I thanked you all for taking me over the “400 Likes” point on my Facebook page, and now I am over 600! When I started my Facebook page on December 6, 2013, I wasn’t quite sure what, how, or why (I knew where and when!) the Facebook Likes are important. As a newbie, I didn’t spend a lot of time over there. But, slowly I have found myself spending more and more time there.

In the past, I had been asked to put a Cozy Mystery page up on Facebook. My answer was always no. (Hopefully a polite no!) I knew that if I did join, I would spend way too much time over there. And I was sort of correct in thinking that! I am spending a whole lot of time there. On my clothes-washing days I find that I at least get up from my computer every once in a while to plop the clothes in the dryer, or to hang them up. Hmmm, doesn’t sound all that healthy, does it? I know I sound like a Computer Screen Potato!

That’s not to say that all of my time is spent working on my Facebook page…

pinsAs for my Pinterest page, I’m slowly getting my themes posted over there. Well, actually, for those of you who aren’t yet on Pinterest, they aren’t called “posts” over there. Pinterest uses the “Pin” label, as in thumb tacks, not the safety pins I have decided to “pin” on this entry of mine!

Of course, this blog and the Cozy Mystery site are my primary focus. As a matter of fact, I’m getting together the May Mystery Movies list (which will probably be ready to go up on April 30, if I can follow my tentative schedule), as well as updating my June Mystery Book Releases entry – which will definitely go up on May 1. (You’ve heard of the saying “Never say never.” >>> I should definitely never say definitely!)

So, thank you (again!) for all of your “Likes” on my Facebook page, and also for “following” me on my Pinterest page!

Debbie Macomber on Hallmark’s Home and Family…

I know that a lot of you enjoy Debbie Macomber‘s Mrs. Miracle books, as well as her Cedar Cove series, and her Blossom Street series, not to mention several other series. I also know that Debbie Macomber’s books are not Cozy Mysteries, however, they are pretty Cozy, and some of you requested that I add them to the Cozy Mystery site.

I just found out that Debbie Macomber will be on the Hallmark channel this coming Wednesday (in two days) so I wanted to let you know. Here is the synopsis that I have on my DVR’s listing:

 …best-selling Debbie Macomber gives a glimpse into her new novel, “Blossom Street Brides”…

So, if you aren’t going to be home, you might want to set up your taping mode for the Hallmark channel’s Wednesday Home and Family show. I’m looking forward to the show and finding out all about Blossom Street Brides, however, I hope she also gives us a sneak peak into her Mr. Miracle… because I am pleased to tell you that Debbie Macomber will be releasing a new Mrs. Miracle book in October: Mr. Miracle. Also, making this even better news is that the Hallmark channel is going to be airing a Christmas movie. That will make it the third Mrs. Miracle movie they have given us.

Interview with Laura Childs – What Would You Like to Know?

For those of you who have been with the Cozy Mystery site since 2006, you might remember that I was going to conduct Cozy Mystery authors’ interviews. I started with two interviews, but I then stopped.

In March of 2009 I interviewed Susan Wittig Albert (Susan Wittig Albert interview) as well as Kate Collins (Kate Collins interview). They were both very gracious as well as extremely generous with their time. Then I started feeling a little guilty about asking these very busy best-selling authors to take time out of their days to help me on my project, so I abandoned the Cozy Mystery author interviews idea. I felt like I had been a little presumptuous >>> well, actually very presumptuous!

However, here I am again, in what seems like another rather presumptuous mood. I think I’m now willing to ask best-selling Cozy Mystery authors to take time out of their busy schedules to help me on my project. (Yow, when I put it like that, it almost embarrasses me! >>> But it apparently doesn’t embarrass me enough, ’cause I’m going to do it again!)

I just got a hold of Best Selling Cozy Mystery author Laura Childs, and she has very graciously accepted my invitation for an author interview. I mentioned to her that some of you probably have questions you would like answers to, and I know I do, too. Also, I thought that maybe she could ask herself a few questions that shehas always wanted to answer, but has never been asked.

So, here is where you all come in. Laura Childs is an author who has been recommended many times in our monthly Cozy Mystery recommendations. Do any of you have a question you would like me to include in our interview? I am currently getting my questions ready, and would love to include some of your questions. If you have a question you would like me to include, please post a comment.

Let’s make this a fantastic interview!

Thanks!
