I was prompted to start a new theme for the Cozy Mystery site by a site reader. She thought that I should have an "authors similar to…" section. What a great idea! I will be doing some research, as well as using my own ideas for coming up with the authors who are similar to the given authors. I would also love to have input from you all!
