I have been updating the site during the last few days and while doing so, I noticed that three new Cozy Mystery series will be released by some of the site’s authors. That’s pretty good news, in my book. It seems like just last year we were all discussing how a lot of authors were being dropped by their publishers, and now there will be three new series. This seems like a bonanza!
J.J. Cook (aka Joyce and Jim Lavene & Ellie Grant) is going to be bringing us the new Biscuit Bowl Food Truck Mystery Series. (The first book in the series is titled Death on Eat Street.) The series will follow Zoe Chase, who has bought herself a diner in Mobile, Alabama. Unfortunately her diner needs a lot of improvements and is located in a somewhat icky part of town. In order to afford all of the diner’s renovations she buys a food truck so that she can make some money. Zoe serves southern fried food, with fried biscuit bowls being her specialty item on her menu.
Sofie Ryan (aka Sofie Kelly) will be starting a new series in April. It’s called the Second Chance Cat Mystery Series. Most of you already know that as Sofie Kelly she writes the Magical Cat Mystery Series. (The Whole Cat and Caboodle is the first book in the Second Chance Cat Mystery Series.) Sarah Grayson owns the Second Chance shop in North Harbor, Maine. It’s a second-hand shop in which Sarah sells items she has refurbished. Sarah is accompanied by Elvis, her big, black rescue/stray cat. Actually it was Elvis who adopted Sarah, and it seems like he made a very wise choice.
I have just put up a new page on the Cozy Mystery site that I will be updating as I find out about our authors’ new mystery series:

I already love the magical cats series, so will definitely check out the new series by Sophie Ryan.

I must get the Sophie Ryan. I really enjoy her magic cats series, and I have a 21 year old black rescue cat named Elvis.

Great news about the new series, I love getting this blog and read it FIRST every morning (right after I check to see if there’s one from my wonderfully talented grandson in NY LOL)
Arms out for a Group Cyber Hug,

Jackie, isn’t this internet wonderful? I love getting news from far away loved ones, also.

The publishing business isn’t for the faint hearted. I talked to one cozy mystery author who writes a series I love and she said the publisher won’t agree to more than four books in the series. I wonder if publishers ever actually talk to readers or just live in their own little world. Glad to see some new ones coming out.

Ann, I’ve noticed there has been a trend of keeping some of the series to a limited few mysteries. This explains it. No wonder so many authors are beginning new series.
Andrea says
Hello everyone. I really enjoy getting this information from you all. I do appreciate it. I have discovered a heap of new authors. I am a voracious reader and it seems you are all kindred spirits. I thought I might suggest that you investigate an Australian author whom I have just discovered. Sulari Gentil. The series is about a sleuth not unlike Lord Peter Wimsey – Rowland Sinclair. It is set in Sydney in the 1930’s but as Rowly has a bit of cash he and his friends also do a bit of travelling. What I like is the intermingling of real events at the time with the mystery at hand. Definitely a cosy. I am about to send an email to my local independent book seller asking him to find me some more Rhys Bowen and I think I will try a Carolyn Hart – thanks for introducing me to them and the new (to me) authors above. Regards A
