I just added five new-to-the Cozy Mystery site authors, but there are actually seven people who write. (It gets quite confusing to me when I add these types of pages to the site!) One of the series is co-written by two authors under one pseudonym and another of the series is written by two authors, both with their own names on the books.
Sparkle Abbey: Abbey is a pseudonym that Mary Lee Woods and Anita Carter came up with, in honor of their two pets. As Abbey, they write the Pampered Pets Mystery Series. This series features two sleuths: Mel Langston is an ex-beauty queen who now owns the Bow Wow Boutique and Caro Lamont, who is an ex-psychologist who now works as a pet therapist.
Alyse Carlson: Carlson writes the Garden Society Mystery Series, which is set in Virginia. This series features Camelia Harris, a P.R. promoter for the very exclusive Roanoke Garden Society.
Diane Kelly: Kelly is an ex lawyer and tax accountant who writes the Tara Holloway Death and Taxes Mystery Series. It is set in Dallas, Texas, where Tara works for the Internal Revenue Service. Tara is a criminal investigations agent.
Blanche Day Manos & Barbara Burgess: Manos (an ex-teacher) and Burgess (a retired trial court administrator) coauthor the Darcy / Flora Mystery Series. This series is set in a friendly, small town in Oklahoma. Darcy Campbell and her mother Flora Tucker are the two sleuths in this mystery series.
Earl H. Smith: Smith was both a professor and a Dean at a college in Maine before he decided to write fiction. He has written a humorous murder mystery set in a small town in Maine.
