If You Get PBS on Channel KQED: Midsomer Murders Marathon

Alfred sent me a letter telling me about a special “marathon running” of Midsomer Murders on the PBS channel KQED. It starts June 1:
“Danna Just wanted to give you an early warning that the entire month of June starting  June 1st Midsomer Murders will be on KQED plus from 8 to 10pm The first one they will be showing is Tainted Fruit, part one at 8pm and part 2 at 9. Just wanted to let you know so you can do some research on it.”
Thank you, Alfred! I did do some research, and found that Midsomer Murders will be airing on the PBS station KQED during the months of June and July of this year (2012).
Lucky you if you get this PBS channel in northern California! (Takes me back to when the A&E channel ran these types of shows!)

Erika Chase, Chrystle Fiedler, Victoria Hamilton, & Marie Moore: Four New Authors on the Cozy Mystery Site

As most of you know, I have a very long list of authors to post on the site. However, when it came time for me to add some new authors to the site, I decided that I would literally add some new authors to the site. I chose these four new authors to the Cozy Mystery genre, based on some of your letters. Some of you thought I simply had to add these authors to the site right now!

Erika Chase writes the Ashton Corners Book Club Mystery Series. This series features Lizzie Turner, a reading specialist in Alabama. Lizzie is joined by her five friends in her mystery book club, and her two Siamese cats at home.

Chrystle Fiedler pens the Natural Remedies Mystery Series, which is set on Long Island. Willow McQuade is a naturopathic doctor who solves mysteries. Along the way, we get tips on natural remedies. (Fiedler also writes non fiction about natural and healthy living.)

Victoria Hamilton writes the Vintage Kitchen Mystery Series. This series is set in Michigan, and features Jaymie Leighton as our sleuth who collects vintage cookware and cookbooks. Jaymie has a three-legged Yorkie Poo (Hoppy) who is quite a darling.

Marie Moore is the author of the Sydney March Mystery Series. Sydney is a New York-based travel agent who takes travel groups on trips. Luckily, she is able to find time to sleuth while performing her travel guide duties.

Minotaur Books Bring M. C. Beaton’s September 2012 Release (“Hiss and Hers”) to Life

Almost two weeks ago, Susie sent me a note telling me about a series of blog entries which show how Minotaur Books create their wonderful book covers. The three entries follow as M. C. Beaton’s September release Hiss and Hers goes from the book cover’s inception until the final book cover, which I must say, is delightful.

Thank you Susie, for telling us about these entries, which let us see how some of our favorite books go from finished manuscripts to the eye-catching books we seek out. It is truly an amazing process to see unfold!
