It’s been rather hectic around here this past week, but since our daughter headed out to see her last year’s work place boss and friends this morning, I’ve been playing catch-up on my computer. I’ve been getting my Soon to be Released Mysteries page all caught up. I just finished updating that page, as well as all of the authors’ pages who have new mysteries coming out in the near future. Whew! I found a whole lot of new Cozy Mystery releases! (And, when I say “a whole lot” that’s exactly what I mean!)
As you can see, Sally Goldenbaum will be releasing A Finely Knit Murder, her 9th Seaside Knitters mystery, which looks like it will be a fun read. >>> I would have had my tech guy (aka my husband) teach me how to put the title for the book under the picture, but he’s napping. (Of course, since his techno-help is free to me, I can’t complain about a few naps here and there.)
I have been posting some of the new releases that I have found over on my Facebook page. I think I’m getting the hang of it over there. Well, at least I’m sort of getting the hang of it! This reminds me, I have been meaning to thank ALL of you for “liking” my Cozy Mystery page over on Facebook. I’m still learning the ropes, so to speak, but people have been so kind to me over there. Thank you, ALL!
Getting back to what I’ve been up to while searching around the internet for new Cozy Mystery releases, I have found two new Cozy Mystery series that will be starting in 2015 >>> Susan Furlong‘s (aka Lucy Arlington) Georgia Peach Mystery Series and Peg Cochran‘s (aka Meg London) Cranberry Cove Mystery Series. Both of them look really good to me.
Anyway, while updating the Soon to be Released Mysteries page, I posted a few of the new Cozies over on my Facebook page. And then, since I seem to never feel complete without worrying about something or other, I started feeling guilty about spending all my time on my Facebook page, while sort of ignoring my Cozy-Mystery blog page. Good grief! (My husband would ask me: “When don’t you feel guilty about something or other?”)
Again, thank you, ALL, who have liked my Facebook page, and also, thank you, ALL, who participate in the blog area. I truly feel like we have a Cozy Mystery community going on over here!

Hi Danna. I have not been brave enough to tackle facebook yet—maybe one of these days—we’ll see. I have been reading your blogs and have commented a couple of times. WHEW!! I so appreciate your efforts in helping us find “clean reads”. I have been an enthusiastic reader since I was very young, and I have gotten so that I pretty much refuse to read “nasty” books. Thank you again.

Linda, it took my husband (I think) over a year to finally be able to learn about how to put the site up on Facebook, and then, he had to teach me how to use it. I am so very lucky to be living with my very own personal “tech guy”! (And I’m glad you post comments over here. Thank you!)
Ann says
I must admit I find Facebook crazy and haven’t looked at my author Facebook page for a long time. I’ll start working on it and make sure I “like” you. Thanks for the nudge.
Happy New Year to you and your family.
Ann

Ann, as I just commented to Linda (above) I am lucky to have my husband figure out how to do things first, and then help me learn. I have said to him (on many instances!) I probably would never have figured out the computer without his help. I’m still learning!
Happy New Year to you and yours!
Sheila says
Hi Danna. I have tackled Facebook and follow you there; but I prefer the web site blog. Thank you for having both. I’m so glad to see that Sally Goldenbaum is coming out with a new book in the Seaside Mysteries. Love that series. Also Susan Fulong’s new series look interesting. Will be worth a read. Happy 2015!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Sheila, I hope you have a happy and healthy 2015! (I’m more comfortable using the website than I am Facebook, but I’ve been here since 2006, so I should be!
Linda MH says
Danna, I so appreciate all you do. I visit this blog every single day and love reading everyone’s comments. Thank you! Happy New Year!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Linda MH, I think the comments are the BEST! I love reading what other Cozy Mystery readers have to say!
Happy New Year to you, too!
Stash Empress says
I’m with Sheila & Linda MH! Love the blog, love the comments, do come here every day — do also follow FB but the blog is my true love! Thanks for all you do for us!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Stash, I’m so glad you are enjoying the blog. I truly do love reading everyone’s comments!
Linda C says
Danna, The book by Susan Furlong looks to be a very interesting book just by looking at the front cover.
Happy New Year’s to you to all of your family members and to all the people who frequent this wonderful blog of yours Danna. Hope you and yours have many happy years of happy mystery reading yet to come.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Linda C, I’m delighted every time I see you on the blog. It seems like you come and go, and then come and go, again. I hope you have a terrific New Year, and have thought about your Christmas. Hopefully everything turned out well…

Thank you for posting about Peaches and Scream. I appreciate it.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Susan, I am looking forward to Peaches and Scream being released! (And, you’re welcome!)
Linda C says
Danna, I am in and out of here quite a bit, especially to check what has been newly posted, the new releases, and to just see what is being said. I have had quite a year which started with me having a mini stroke just a few days before Christmas last year. Except for some memory problems and some speech problems I am a lot better with that. My DH and I had some problems earlier this year which caused a riff between him and my daughter but with him having to attend several anger management sessions hopefully those problems are taken care of as well. Only prayers and time will tell there.
In late September I had rotator cuff surgery on my left shoulder. With several weeks of therapy my shoulder still hurts but I am better. My surgeon said it would take at least 6 months for my shoulder to completely heal.
I have joined several crochet groups as well as a senior citizen group. My DH and I are attending a New Year’s Eve card party there at the center tonight.
My daughter and my DH were able to call a Christmas truce so that I could spend the holiday with both of them. I had a very Merry Christmas this year.
I hope all of you had a Merry Christmas and that all of you have an even better Happy New Year.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Linda C, I’m happy to hear you are able to crochet. I thought that perhaps you had to give it up while you were recuperating from your rotator cuff surgery. I’m glad to see there was a truce, and hope that it will continue. I hope you are able to get everything back to normal very early in 2015.
