The Closer (TNT's Terrific Police Procedural Show) Is Closer than You Think…

December 6, 2010

I forgot to mention this earlier… For those of you who are fans of TNT’s The Closer, the winter season’s shows start tonight! Set up your various types of taping devices, or plan to be seated in front of your television set. (And, if you’re not  a fan of The Closer, then I have to say, you are missing a really neat show!)

I have written about The Closer before (yep, that’s the link to my previous entry about this terrific show) so I won’t say too much about it today, OTHER than to remind all of you about tonight. [Of course, not being a person who can limit her talking… I will (again!) say that I absolutely LOVE this ensemble show!] 

So, don’t forget… tonight is the new winter season’s debut!

Don't Turn on the Light… Sprite Doesn't Like It…

December 4, 2010

I know that I have been remiss in writing… BUT >>>

Sprite (our soon-to-be-sixteen year old “puppy”) has been having a bad patch of health the last few weeks. (I am pretty sure it’s 16 she’s going on, this whole change of the century makes me have to revert to my elementary school math to calculate everyone’s age!)

Actually, Sprite has been having problems for over a month. I think I have mentioned before that her metabolism forms crystals in her bladder, which of course means a lot of trips to the veterinarian, which means special diets and care.

And, as she gets older, she becomes more and more stubborn and obstinate. (I have to admit that is happening to me, also!) It seems like I am the only one in the family who Sprite wants to spend time with >>> when she’s awake! Poor little Sprite!

Unfortunately for me, when I wake up in the middle of the night, I am no longer “allowed” to use my flashlight to read. You would think that it would be my husband not wanting the light on… Nope, the light doesn’t bother him, however, not so Sprite. Her bouts with these crystals have even cut down on the reading I can do! If she happens to open one of her eyes in the middle of the night and see that the flashlight is on, she wakes up and wants to go outside… As much as I enjoy my Cozy Mystery reading, I just don’t like the hassle of carrying her down the stairs, having to go outside and watch as she sniffs around the yard trying to find out where the squirrels have been, carrying her back upstairs, ETC.

But, as my daughter keeps saying: “She’s worth it!” She has been a loved and valued member of our family for the past sixteen years -or is it 17?!?

December 2, 2010

Gen asked:

I’d like to be able to access some modern writers who fit this genre. I quite like Beaton’s Agatha Raisin and Simon Brett’s Fethering series. As a previous poster asked, do you have a list of writers who have published in the last 20 years?

My Answer:

No, Gen, I don’t. That certainly would make a great theme on the Cozy Mystery site…

Yikes!  It looks like you are in luck, Gen! There are A LOT of authors with British mystery series who have been published during the last twenty years. (I should have just made a list of British mystery series that haven’t been published in the past twenty years!)

Also, I just want to point out that to find the chronological list of these authors’ books, all you need to do is put the name in the “Site Search” box near the top left of each page on the blog, and the first result seems to be pretty invariably the page on the site that lists the books. 

If, however, you want a list of all of the British mystery series on the Cozy Mystery site, then click on this link to take you to the Theme page.
