Well, it’s Monday, so I’d normally post the list of the upcoming weeks… but I’ve been so behind on this from the end of the month rolling right into new month and then another week of releases finally getting posted a few days ago, I wanted to post something a bit more substantive. So I’m going to hold off on the normal Monday post for a few days, and instead begin discussing September’s holiday book releases.
There will be a lot of them! Enough that it makes sense to split it up into two sections, a non-Christmas post and a Christmas themed post. Today will be the non-Christmas holiday themed posts.
First will be Lynn Cahoon‘s A Deadly Brew, a novella in the Tourist Trap Mystery Series. This Halloween-themed mystery Will see the return of Jill Gardner, owner of the Coffee, Books, and More in South Cove, California. A haunted house is being set up, and for whatever reason the town decides that setting it up in the residence of a formerly vacant estate whose owner disappeared fifteen years ago. Of course, Jill can’t let this chance go to get to the bottom of the mysterious event! Lynn Cahoon also writes the Cat Latimer Mystery Series, starring a former English professor running a bed and breakfast, and the Farm-to-Fork Mystery Series, starring the owner of a restaurant in Idaho.
Second will be Forever Fudge, the 7th in Nancy Coco‘s Candy-Coated Mystery Series, and a Labor Day themed mystery! (Super rare! But these do exist…) Labor Day weekend has come at last, the end of the tourist season on Mackinac Island, and fudge shop owner Allie McMurphy would be expecting a bit more peace and quiet, except that a TV crew has arrived to film a murder mystery show. When a note is found on a very real body found in a nearby alley challenging Allie to solve the crime, she feels like it’s her responsibility to stop a crazed killer from striking again! Nancy Coco also writes (as Nancy J. Parra) the Wine County Mystery Series, starring the owner of a family winery, the Baker’s Treat Mystery Series starring a gluten free bakery owner, the Perfect Proposals Mystery Series, starring an event planner, and (as Nell Hampton) the Kensington Palace Chef Mystery Series starring a personal chef to the royal family.
So, that’s it for non-Christmas themed Cozies for September! I know that’s only two, but there will be several more coming up, all Christmas themed – probably after I do this week’s new releases.

~heaves sigh of relief~ I’m safe…LOL, not one of my “must haves” this time. There are usually several, so I actually appreciate the occasional post that doesn’t leave me scrambling for a pen and my lists!

Since I already have the Coco book on my list, I didn’t have to make any additions either. What a relief.

All I can say is thank goodness for Amazon! I was reading your description of Deadly Brew by Lynn Cahoon and Forever Fudge by Nancy Coco, and since I have been reading both series started to preorder them. The banner at the top of each page read “You purchased this on ….” If the banner had not been there I would have preordered both books again. I have done this so many times, I cannot begin to count. Thank you Amazon!

KG, it definitely is helpful! It’s also quite helpful for Kindles – I know that I’ve avoided re-buying books several times because they told me I already own it.

I want to know when the next Jenn McKinley is coming out with another Library mystery. I enjoyed the previous ones very much.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
James, I believe there is one coming out in September, actually.
Susy S says
James, according to my list ‘Hitting the Books’ is due out on September 11.
I wish she would release them faster, but I guess she actually needs time to write them.
