Laurie Cass, Christine DeSmet, Rosie Genova, Carol Ann Martin, & Caroline Miller – 5 Mystery Author Additions on the Cozy Mystery Site

September 6, 2013

I have been trying to get authors posted recently. It feels like as soon as I get some mystery authors posted, I hear about new ones who should be posted. Thank you, ALL, for telling me about mystery authors who you think belong on the Cozy Mystery site. The five most recent authors to “join us” are:

Laurie Cass: Bookmobile Cat Mystery Series
Minnie Hamilton is a librarian who, along with her rescue cat (Eddie) travels around her community in her bookmobile.

Christine DeSmet: Fudge Shop Mystery Series
Ava Oosterling is the owner of the Copper-Kettle Fudge Shop in Wisconsin. She shares space in her grandad’s bait shop, so the sign on her establishment says “Oosterlings’ Bait, Bobbers & Belgian Fudge”.  (DeSmet is a faculty associate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.)

Rosie Genova: Italian Kitchen Mystery Series
Victoria Rienzi is a mystery series author, who is taking a break from writing. She currently works in her family’s Italian restaurant in New Jersey. (Genova is an English and Journalism teacher.)

Carol Ann Martin: Weaving Mystery Series
Della Wright is the proud owner of Dream Weavers. She teaches weaving in this North Carolina weaving shop.

Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot’s Return (?)

September 5, 2013

Oh my gosh! I simply can’t believe it!!! Good grief! And, as Batman’s Robin would say: “Holy Smokes!”

Yes, this is literally how I feel right now! I kid you not!!!

Imagine my surprise to just find out that “Agatha Christie Limited” has okayed an author to write a Hercule Poirot mystery novel. I know I said this before, but “I kid you not!!!”

Before I give away how I feel about this (Duh!) I am going to ask you all for your opinions.

What do you think of best-selling British author Sophie Hannah getting the go-ahead for writing a Hercule Poirot mystery?

P.S. The new mystery is set to be released in September 2014.
