Virginia Brown, Joelle Charbonneau, Lesley Cookman, & Lila Dare… Four of the Newest Authors Recommended for the Cozy Mystery Site

I am going to try to add the mystery authors who you all have recommended as belonging on the Cozy Mystery site at a more timely pace. Having said that, here are the four newest authors to the site:

Virginia Brown writes the Dixie Divas Mystery Series which follows twelve (middle-aged) “Dixie Divas” in Mississippi.

Joelle Charbonneau writes the Rebecca Robbins Mystery Series which features a sleuth who returns to her hometown in Illinois to try to get rid of the roller skating rink she inherited.

Lesley Cookman‘s Libby Sarjeant Mystery Series is a British mystery series which features an actress/sleuth.

Lila Dare an ex-Air Force intelligence officer, writes the Southern Beauty Shop Mystery Series, which takes place in Georgia. The series features a mother and daughter who are hairdressers, who sleuth with the help of a few of their friends.

Lorna Barrett & L. L. Bartlett Welcome Lorraine Bartlett!

I wanted to be sure to let you all know about another author on the Cozy Mystery site who is also adding another “author’s name” to her repertoire. I know that a lot of you are Lorna Barrett’s Booktown Mystery Series fans. And, of course, L. L. Bartlett’s psychic/6th sense Jeff Resnick Mystery Series has a lot of fans, also.

So, following in the same vein as yesterday’s entry, there is a new Barrett/Bartlett author>>> Lorraine Bartlett‘s new mystery series is called the Victoria Square Mystery Series, and it has, as its sleuth, a young widow who is a member of an artisan’s coop.

What Do Tim Myers, Casey Mayes, Elizabeth Bright, Melissa Glazer, Chris Cavender Have in Common?

Well, I just made some additions to the Cozy Mystery site, and I can tell you one thing… I had to actually draw a diagram to work from! Yes, I have come to an age where I need a visual “map” in order to cross-reference just one author on the site!

Of course, if the author is someone like Tim Myers, or should I say Casey Mayes? OR is that Elizabeth Bright? No, the author I’m thinking of could be Melissa Glazer. But, I think the author is actually Chris Cavender.

Yes, that’s right… They all wear the same clothes, sit in the same chair, enjoy the same foods, share the same house, watch the same shows, and>>> in case you don’t already know, are the very same person!

I understand why an author wants to keep each of his/her mystery series separate from the others, but I must say that it makes it a little… should I say “challenging”? – for someone like me. 

Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know that Casey Mayes is the newest addition to this writing “team” >>> writing the Math Puzzle Mystery Series.

Happy Birthday!

Today is my daughter’s birthday, and she spent it traveling back to school! Happy Birthday!!! I am so very happy that you are in my life!

This morning started rather early for all of us (4:00 AM), as we had to get our daughter to the airport for an early morning flight. Her Christmas vacation was absolutely, without a doubt, TOO SHORT!

The five of us (son, daughter, husband, me… and Sprite) had a great holiday, but it’s time to get back to work! My husband and son continued working during the past two weeks, taking a few days off here and there, and of course, my daughter took advantage of being home from school. As for me, I spent a very nice two weeks enjoying having our family all together again. But it’s now time for all of us to get back on our regular schedules. (Actually, Sprite really didn’t deviate from her regular routine: sleep, eat, and then sleep some more!)

My husband and I always enjoy hearing from our daughter, but whenever she (finally!) calls us from her own place at school… after changing planes, taking the “T” (bus/train), and then walking from the “T” stop while carrying her two carry-ons, we are always VERY relieved.

But, to be doing all of this on your birthday, well… I am guessing that she didn’t wish for this sort of day while she blew out the candles on her “pretend” birthday a few days ago, but I know I have always wished that she be happy and safe… So, at least one of our wishes came true!
