The reason for this is that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cozy-mystery.com\/Leslie-Charteris.html\">Leslie Charteris<\/a> writes (&#8220;wrote&#8221;&gt;&gt;&gt; but\u00a0I try to do all of my postings in present tense!) The Saint Mystery Series. Some of you\u00a0may remember The Saint television series from many years ago. The Saint (aka Simon Templar) is a rather dashing\/debonair millionaire, who not only is a sleuth, but\u00a0also a thief!<\/p>\n<p>As for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cozy-mystery.com\/John-Creasy.html\">John Creasy<\/a>, he has many pseudonyms and even more mystery (and spy) series. The pseudonyms that I am posting on the site include:\u00a0J. J. Marric, M. E. Cooke, Robert Caine Frazer, Anthony Morton, Gordon Ashe, Rodney Mattheson,\u00a0Patrick Gill,\u00a0Brian Hope, Colin Hughes,\u00a0Anthony Morton,\u00a0Charles Hogarth,\u00a0Richard Martin,\u00a0Kyle Hunt,\u00a0&amp; Abel Mann.<\/p>\n<p>As I said, a lot of people are familiar with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cozy-mystery.com\/Ellery-Queen.html\">Ellery Queen<\/a>. Something I wasn&#8217;t aware of though is that Ellery Queen is a pseudonym for two cousins who write (actually &#8220;wrote&#8221;) the books and stories together. Years ago, I would get confused wondering if Ellery Queen was the author or the character of the particular series. And then there is the magazine by that same name! (Ellery Queen is\u00a0the name of the main character of the mystery series written by the cousins using the pseudonym Ellery Queen&#8230; which a lot of times appears in the Ellery Queen Mystery\u00a0Magazine!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thought that I would start the New Year by adding (to the Cozy Mystery Site) three mystery authors who have been recommended by site readers.\u00a0All three\u00a0wrote their mysteries many years ago.
