Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match” where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It’s our great pleasure to present Winnie Archer (aka Melissa Bourbon)! Writes: Winnie/Melissa is a national bestselling author of many, many mysteries. Whether you like capers, cozies, traditional, magic, or suspense, she has something for you! Her newest release, BREAD OVER TROUBLED WATER, is book 8 in the Bread Shop Cozy Mystery series. She writes the Book Magic mystery series, the Magical Dressmaking mysteries, the Trouble in Tumbleweed, and the Foxy Ladies mysteries, all as Melissa Bourbon. Winnie Archer plays solo with the Bread Shop mysteries. You’ll enjoy them all! About: If you’re a fur-loving friend, we have a future ahead of us. Agatha and Sailor are pups and some of my favorite characters in my two current series (the Bread Shop mysteries and the Book Magic mysteries). Plus, there’s Thelma Louise, the cantankerous goat in my Magical Dressmaking series, and Miss Havisham, the bookshop cat in Devil’s Cove. Basically, I’m an animal lover in real life and at least some of my characters are also animal lovers….
Whoever said these were our golden years, was either living on martinis on the beach or hadn’t reached the gilded age when every bone and joint in their body screamed for attention. I’ve ignored the screaming for a few years, but the noise is now coming from a woman in a white lab coat with the initials DR imprinted in front of her name. The fun of my youth (and beyond) has a price to pay, and it’s time to pay. So I’ll be taking a few months sabbatical from blogging, podcasting and writing and working on physical fitness. Unfortunately, surfing is on doc’s ‘no-no’ list for the next year—grrr. The best part of that news, however, is that I have lined up some amazing guest bloggers from July to October! As soon as I put the news out, authors came through for me in overwhelming numbers. That’s how awesome the community is;) Here is your line-up for the Cozy Corner for the rest of the summer—until we meet again in October, get cozy and read on!

The new year is always filled with fresh prospects, new beginnings and hope for a better tomorrow. Yet sometimes, you just want to hang onto what made you comfortable last year. The time-tested and proven. As a mystery reader, its no different. Your favorite sleuths hold a special place in your heart you aren’t about to give up. And why should you? Yet you still can’t resist the shiny and new cozy that holds so much intrigue—so don’t! This week I have some great return heroines, one that’s new to me, but she’s been around for three previous books (which gave me a backlist to check out) and a bonus mystery of a brand new series that will have you looking ahead for more! If you know these authors, check out their latest mystery and return to what you love. If they’re new to you, celebrate the beginning of a new relationship with a tried and true series.
