Spencer Quinn & Peter Abrahams, J. F. Englert, Rebecca M. Hale, & Beth Solheim… Mystery Authors Recently Added to Cozy Mystery Site

March 5, 2010

I just added four new authors to the Cozy Mystery Site. These authors have been recommended to me by site readers. They are new to me, but look very interesting…

J.F. Englert writes the Bull Moose Dog Run Mystery Series which features a Black Labrador Retriever and his often-confused owner… The Black Lab (Randolph) is the narrator of this mystery series…

Rebecca M. Hale (a patent attorney and New York Times bestselling author) writes the Cats and Curios Mystery Series which features the new owner of an antique shop and two pets (cats)…

Spencer Quinn (aka Peter Abrahams) writes the Chet and Bernie Mystery Series, which is told from Chet’s point of view. Chet is the loyal dog of Bernie Little… As an aside: I  love finding authors (especially mystery authors!) who are really successful at their profession, who write mysteries for children and/or young adults (the Echo Falls Mystery Series). Abrahams is one of those authors. (As Abrahams, he is not cozy.)

Beth Solheim writes the Sadie Witt Mystery Series which is a paranormal mystery series. Both Sadie and Belly LaGossa (Sadie’s dog) are able to see the dead…

Tales from Grace Chapel Inn List of Books…

February 28, 2010

I have received requests for the Tales from Grace Chapel Inn Series list of books from quite a few people. These books are not mysteries, but (apparently) this Guideposts’ Tales from Grace Chapel Inn Series is very akin to some of the mystery series which I have posted in previous entries:

Church Choir Mystery Series

Mystery and the Minister’s Wife Mystery Series

Heartsong Presents Mysteries

The Tales from Grace Chapel Inn Series is a series of NON mystery chronological books, which is published by Guideposts. The series follows three sisters who live in Pennsylvania. Alice, Jane, and Louise run a Bed & Breakfast. The series is written by several Christian authors…

I have written another entry which has other authors who don’t use profanity in their novels (as far as I am aware!)
