Cozy Site Reader's Question

I just got a note from Jane asking for help identifying possible authors who she could try reading, based on the mystery authors who she lists as her favorites:

"… I really enjoy Hannah Swenson (Joanne Fluke), Lucy Stone (Leslie Meier) and Chocoholic mysteries (JoAnna Carl).  Can you recommend a similar author as I have just about finished those series??"

I have received requests for the Tales from Grace Chapel Inn Series list of books from quite a few people. These books are not mysteries, but (apparently) this Guideposts' Tales from Grace Chapel Inn Series is very akin to some of the mystery series which I have posted in previous entries:

This is a continuation of my entry from yesterday:

Don't get me wrong! It's not like I intentionally don't answer a site readers request for help. If someone writes and asks me about… let's say… Camille Minichino's Gloria Lamerino, Susan Wittig Albert's China Bayles, or Katherine Hall Page's Faith Fairchild, I will definitely write back (almost!) immediately.

In some cases, I would spend quite a bit of time trying to identify the author, and if I absolutely could not… then I would post an entry asking for your help.

I got a comment from Dawsalee asking for help. I feel like I should know this author, but I just can't remember who he/she is. Do any of you have any ideas?

Ann wrote this comment, and I hope that some of you have suggestions for her:

"I've always enjoyed mysteries in which someone travels to England (or New England!), possibly to start life anew for whatever reason. (S)he settles in a cottage in a cozy village and somehow ends up solving a murder mystery. I'm not sure if that qualifies as a "theme" but I keep trying to find this type of mystery. Any recommendations? Thanks."

Here is the latest question I have been asked, but I'm not sure of the answer. At first I thought that perhaps Sara was describing Judith Van Gieson's Claire Reynier Mystery Series (which is on my list of pages to make…)
