I’ve just added four more authors to the Cozy Mystery site. Most authors I add are decided by recommendations from Cozy Mystery readers who have enjoyed their works – though Arthur Conan Doyle obviously needed no recommendation! (The main reason I haven’t added him before this is because his works have been published so many ways that I had trouble deciding how to organize them…)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Amanda Carmack<\/a><\/strong> writes the Elizabethan Mystery Series<\/strong>. As the title implies, this mystery series revolves around Queen Elizabeth I (who is still Princess Elizabeth in the early novels), though the detective is Elizabeth’s private musician, Kate Haywood.\u00a0She also writes romance novels as Amanda McCabe and Laurel McKee.<\/p>\n

Arthur Conan Doyle<\/a><\/strong>‘s Sherlock Holmes<\/strong> mysteries helped bring the early criminal detective fiction to the mainstream, with so much popularity that even after Doyle killed off the character, he eventually brought Holmes back after a ten year hiatus due to continued demand. As well as being a pioneer of the early detective fiction genre, Doyle was a humanitarian and doctor, earning two knighthoods for his volunteer medical work. He was even something of a detective himself – he helped clear the names of two wrongly accused men, and the results of one of these cases was partially responsible for the formation of the English Court of Criminal Appeal.<\/p>\n

Shamini Flint<\/a><\/strong> might have begun her writing career with children’s book series like\u00a0the Sasha Series<\/strong> and the\u00a0Diary Series<\/strong>, but she’s also the author of the Inspector Singh Investigates Mystery Series<\/strong>. This series stars a Singaporean inspector whose slightly awkward nature often makes people underestimate his keen detective instincts. Originally a lawyer, Flint now works two jobs – full time mom and author!<\/p>\n

Linda Rodriguez<\/a><\/strong> worked at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, as an administrator – which is also where she earned both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. She put this experience to good use when writing the Skeet Bannion Mystery Series<\/strong>, starring Marquitta “Skeet” Bannion, a former Kansas City police officer who\u00a0decided to get away from the big city to serve as the campus chief of police at a college in a small town.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
