I just added five<\/em> new-to-the Cozy Mystery site authors, but there are actually seven<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n

Sparkle Abbey<\/strong><\/a>: 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<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\n

Alyse Carlson<\/strong><\/a>: Carlson writes the Garden Society Mystery Series<\/strong>, which is set in Virginia. This series features Camelia Harris, a P.R. promoter for the very exclusive Roanoke Garden Society.<\/p>\n

Diane Kelly<\/strong><\/a>: Kelly is an ex lawyer and tax accountant who writes the Tara Holloway Death and Taxes Mystery Series<\/strong>. It is set in Dallas, Texas, where Tara works for the Internal Revenue Service. Tara is a criminal investigations agent.<\/p>\n

Blanche Day Manos<\/strong><\/a> & Barbara Burgess<\/strong><\/a>: Manos (an ex-teacher) and Burgess (a retired trial court administrator) coauthor the Darcy \/ Flora Mystery Series<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\n

Earl H. Smith<\/a><\/strong>:\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
