I just found your Cozy Mysteries site and enjoyed it very much. It was interesting to see all the names of mystery writers, some of which I was familiar with and others I didn't know. I would like to recommend an author that I could not find on your site: Iris Johansen. She started out writing historical romances and then switched to mysteries. Some are stand alone stories, but many are tied together. Eve Duncan is a recurring character along with her family members. I'm not sure if her novels are considered "Cozy" or not, but I have really enjoyed her work.
Thank you, Buffy, for recommending Iris Johansen. I just added her name to the list of authors who I want to (eventually!) add to the site.
I'm glad you are enjoying the site, and thanks for letting me know.
Thanks for the shout-out for "Spackled and Spooked"; I really appreciate it!
Thanks for the list of authors writing about Ohio. I've lived in Ohio for 68 years with no regrets. A little snow in winter, but no hurricanes, or forest fires or avalanches of snow or mud. All in all, not a bad place to live. I got a Kindle 2 a little over 6 months ago; and have been finding all kinds of new books, and series, and authors. I also downloaded and read all of Anne George's books. I read all the Insp Lynley books, and have just about finished all the Mrs Jeffrey books. Enjoy your site and info a lot. Thanks.
That's a lot of reading!
AND
Thanks for the kind words about the site.
PS>>> My husband grew up in Northfield, Ohio. I always enjoyed going back to visit…
