    As a fellow member of Do Some Damage, I had never read a cozy before. I picked up her Skating Around the Law book back when I met her at Houston’s Murder by the Book…and am thoroughly enjoying it. I’ll be reviewing it later this month at my blog, but I can already recommend it. And this from a first-time cozy reader.

      Thank you, Scott, for the endorsement of Joelle Charbonneau’s Skating Around the Law! (It sounds like you’re enjoying your first Cozy Mystery…)

    I ran across your site from a genealogy search that I have emailed to me weekly. It’s fabulous!
    I was surprized though not to find Lynn Kurland on there, or maybe I just missed it. She even includes a pedigree chart at the beginning of her books.
    Thanks for all your hard work! Donna

      Hi Donna,

      Thanks for telling us about Lynn Kurland. I just made a quick check of her website, and I see that she writes: “romance books, fantasy fiction, historical romance and paranormal ghost romance books.”>>> I only include the authors who are on the Cozy Mystery website to the theme lists.

      Thanks, again, for telling us about her.

    Hi Danna,

    Wow, I checked my google alerts and saw this. Thanks so much for including me on your site. Skating Around The Law is the first of the Rebecca Robbins Mystery series.

    I can’t tell you how much I appreciate being included with these amazing authors. You are the best!

    Smile!
    Joelle

      Rebecca,

      I think that Virginia Brown is best known for her romance novels, of which she has written around 50… since the early 1980s. Sorry, but I don’t know her middle name…
