I hate to start this Cozy Mystery tidbit<\/em> entry with bad news >>> but it is! Some of you have told us about CBS’ new Nancy Drew television show. Apparently CBS had the pilot made, but decided against buying it. There are conflicting stories about why the pilot wasn’t bought by CBS, one of which is that it was just too feminine. (Imagine that! A show based on a female sleuth was just too feminine!) In all fairness, \u00a0the president of the network later said they also passed on other shows, and that the feminine factor wasn’t the reason they chose to pass on this project.<\/p>\n

On to the good news points of interest…<\/p>\n

\u00a0Susan Furlong<\/a><\/strong> (aka Lucy Arlington) will be writing a new suspense series with a sleuth who was once a police in the military and is now an “Irish Traveller”. As a lot of you know, Susan writes both the Georgia Peach<\/strong> and the Pippi O\u2019Brienthe<\/strong> mysteries as well as the Novel Idea<\/strong> mysteries which she writes as Lucy Arlington<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It looks like Eliza Doolittle & Henry Higgins<\/strong> will be busy in yet another of their sleuthing situations! D.E. Ireland<\/strong><\/a> (aka Sharon Farrow & Meg Macy) will be featured in their third: Get Me to the Grave on Time<\/em><\/strong>. But wait, that’s not the only good news! There will then be two more mysteries that follow this one! (Sharon Farrow<\/strong> also writes the Berry Basket Mystery Series<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n

Here’s some terrific news for Cozy Mystery readers who love cats, pets, or simply love Cozies! T.C. LoTempio<\/strong><\/a> (aka Toni LoTempio<\/strong>) will be starting a new series called the Cat Rescue Mystery Series<\/strong>. Purr M for Murder<\/strong><\/em> (how about that for a clever title?) will be the first book in this series which is set in a shelter for animals. LoTempio currently writes the Nick & Nora Mystery Series<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Jenn McKinlay<\/a><\/strong> (aka Josie Belle & Lucy Lawrence) will be releasing the ninth Cozy in her Cupcake Bakery Mystery Series<\/strong>, titled Caramel Crush<\/strong><\/em>. Now that’s great news! (McKinlay also writes the Library Lover’s<\/strong> series as well as the Hat Shop Mystery Series<\/strong>. As Josie Belle<\/strong> she writes the GoodBuy Girls<\/strong> mysteries, and as Lucy Lawrence<\/strong> she writes the Decoupage Mystery Series<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n

Some of us have followed the exploits of Lucy Stone for years! Leslie Meier<\/strong><\/a> writes the very popular Lucy Stone (holiday) Mystery Series,<\/strong> and she will be releasing the 24th in the series, Turkey Trot Murder<\/strong><\/em>. However, the good news doesn’t stop here! She has just been green-lighted for at least three more mysteries in this series. Yahoo!<\/p>\n

Here’s some more good news: Dorothy St. James<\/strong><\/a> (who writes the White House Gardener Mystery Series<\/strong>) has just been given the go-ahead for a new Cozy Mystery series: the Chocolate Shop series<\/strong>. The sleuth will own a gourmet shop in an “artsy” community in South Carolina.<\/p>\n

And for those of you who read Maggie Toussaint<\/strong><\/a>‘s Dreamwalker Mystery Series<\/strong> >>> her sleuth, Baxley Powell will be featured in two more mysteries as she communicates telepathically with the pets she takes care of in Georgia. Dadgummit<\/strong><\/em> and Counfound It<\/strong><\/em> will be the next two in this series. Toussaint also writes the Cleopatra Jones<\/strong> and the Moss Bog mystery series<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
