Christine E. Collier…. Christmas Mystery Books

On November 18, I received this comment from Christine E. Collier, an author of cozy mysteries:

I am very happy I made your cozy Christmas mystery list. My book, Christmas at Cliffhanger Inn, is the third of a four book cozy series about four women writers who form The Writer’s Club. My series definitely has a "cozy" description with a writer’s theme as the background. The titles are The Writer’s Club, Mystery is Our Shadow, Christmas at Cliffhanger Inn, and Something Borrowed, Something Blue. Thank you. Christine E. Collier, author
