She also adopts stray cats\u00a0&#8211; all\u00a0experiences that are reflected in her Cozy Mystery works. Her Cozy series is\u00a0<strong>The Cats That&#8230;\u00a0Mystery Serie<\/strong>s, starring Katherine &#8220;Katz&#8221; Kendall, a former computer professional who\u00a0suddenly inherits a pink Victorian mansion (and fortune) in Erie, Indiana.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cozy-mystery.com\/liesa-malik.html\">Liesa Malik<\/a><\/strong> \u00a0 \u00a0A current resident\u00a0of Colorado,\u00a0Liesa Malik has lived in a number of other interesting places as diverse as Texas, England, Florida, and Michigan. She has worked for a variety of newspapers throughout her career, and has a Bachelor&#8217;s Degree in Communication from the University of Florida as well as an Art degree. Her Cozy Mystery series (titled the\u00a0<strong>Daisy Arthur Mystery Series<\/strong>) stars a retired special education teacher now beginning a second career as a romance novel author.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cozy-mystery.com\/marta-perry.html\">Marta Perry<\/a><\/strong> \u00a0 \u00a0Perry grew up in Pennsylvania, where she was first exposed to the culture that she would later come to write about, the Amish communities of Pennsylvania. She has an interesting spin on her series, in that many of them are set more around communities, with each individual book having a different character who serves as a protagonist. Her <strong>Dark series<\/strong> revolves around the town of Deer Run, while her <strong>Watcher in the Dark Series<\/strong> is set in Laurel Run. Her\u00a0<strong>Three Sisters Inn series<\/strong> takes a slightly different approach, revolving instead around three sisters, with each book written about each.\u00a0(Perry also writes <strong>Amish series<\/strong> that are not mysteries.)<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cozy-mystery.com\/mary-stewart.html\">Mary Stewart<\/a><\/strong> was a British novelist and one of the most popular authors of the &#8220;romantic mystery&#8221; genre of her time. She graduated with honors from Durham University with a degree in English, but her education was derailed by World War II before she would eventually go on to earn her master&#8217;s degree. Most of her novels in the mystery genre are <strong>stand-alone novels<\/strong>. Some of the most successful works were The Moon-Spinners, which was adapted into a Disney movie, and\u00a0Madam, Will You Talk?, her first work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been meaning to add these four Cozy Mystery authors for a while, and finally, I have got their pages up! \u00a0Karen Anne Golden\u00a0grew up in a small town in Indiana, and spends much of her free time\u00a0hard at work restoring her dream-house &#8211; a Victorian era house built at the end of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[6,9,22],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-23801","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-authors","7":"category-books","8":"category-new-authors-to-the-cozy-mystery-site","9":"entry","10":"override"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pI0sr-6bT","jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cozy-mystery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cozy-mystery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cozy-mystery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cozy-mystery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cozy-mystery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23801"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/cozy-mystery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23801\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23811,"href":"https:\/\/cozy-mystery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23801\/revisions\/23811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cozy-mystery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cozy-mystery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cozy-mystery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
