Several of you have asked me to add two mystery book authors to the site who don't write Cozy Mysteries. (Actually, I get quite a few requests for me to add non-Cozy mystery authors to the site!) I have had both of these mystery book authors on my list of "authors to do" for a while now, and thought that this would be a great time to add them. They are both hugely popular authors:
Dick Francis Francis was a champion jockey in Great Britain. His career even included riding for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. After suffering an injury, he retired from being a jockey and he now has a very successful career writing mysteries which take place in the world of horse racing. (Not Cozy)
Andrew M. Greeley Greeley, an alumni of University of Chicago (both M. A. and Ph.D.) is a Chicago priest who has two best selling mystery book series. One mystery series features Blackie Ryan, a Chicago priest/sleuth. His other best selling mystery book series features an immigrant/psychic/sleuth. (Not Cozy)

Hi, I stumbled across this blog from somewhere. Resident of Kerrville, TX I'm happy to find a place to learn about new mystery authors. Do not have much time to read so want books that are GOOD not just so-so. Fav authors, are Tess Gerritsen, Sidney Sheldon, Patricia Cornwell, Iris Johansen, Kathy Reichs, Greg Iles, and a few others. Hoping to find similar type writers. Thanks for this site. Peggy
Hi Peggy,
I hope that you're able to find a few new authors. Hopefully you'll be able to sift through some of the authors to find a new ones who you will enjoy reading.
