Featured Author Master List — UPDATED!

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Hello and welcome to the Cozy Mysteries group!

Unlike many groups here at Goodreads, this group has a Featured Author each month, rather than a monthly group read. This allows participants to choose whichever book(s) they’d like, be it the first book in a new-to-you series, or the most recent release by a favorite author. This is a master list of all the authors featured in this group since May 2010. Links below are to the author’s info page here at GR, not to any of our discussions, and you will note some more popular/prolific authors have been featured more than once. If you read a past featured author, feel free to comment in the Featured Author discussion threads — these discussions are perpetual, not finite.
