Blog Tour Calendar: Cozy Craft Mysteries by Millie Ravensworth

I’m reviewing each of the books:

It’s a busy couple of weeks. There will be a giveaway below each review, for a chance to win a copy of The Wonderland Murders and other bits.

And in surprise news about the author!

“It’s been a poorly guarded secret for quite a while but Millie
Ravensworth isn’t just one writer but two! The Millie Ravensworth
books are the product of long-term collaborators Heide Goody and Iain
Grant. Heide and Iain have been writing together for more than a
decade. Together they have written various comedy novels and, in
recent years, have written the Sam Applewhite series of comedy crime
novels.

“There are a number of reasons why we did this but part of the reason
is because of the silly algorithms Amazon uses to identify what books
readers might like. Not everyone who reads one series by us will
necessarily like books we’ve written in another series. Therefore, to
avoid confusing the AI algorithms and to avoid disappointing some
readers, we’ve written the latest batch of books under the pseudonym
of Millie Ravensworth,” said Iain.

“We write other books under our own names but they’re nothing like the
Millie Ravensworth books,” said Heide. “The fifth book in the Cozy
Craft series is coming out in the middle of May and we hope to have
book six written soon too. I hope people will continue to enjoy
reading them as much as we enjoy writing them.”

Cheers
Heide and Iain”

I’ve reviewed Heide and Iain’s books before; in July 2021 I reviewed their Sam Applewhite series of mysteries set in and around Skegness. In 2019 I shared an extract from their novel ‘Candy Canes and Buckets of Blood’ and reviewed ‘Jaffle Inc’. They’ve always been good about sending me copies of their books, and I do rather enjoy the writing style.
