Humorous Mysteries - Link
Just got my SYKM email and it provides a wonderful list of humorous mysteries. Have read several of these authors, but not all.

http://www.stopyourekillingme.com/GenreCats/Humorous.html

One author not on the list that I think should be is James D. Doss. In each of his books there's a lot of humor and at least one incident that makes me laugh so hard I can't breathe...

2. What is smoogatz "real name"..
MATING GAME is the title of several books by different authors. I think I had a problem with his books because I did not know his name.

I looked in "search" to try and find it under postings about him, but nobody mentioned his name...

6. That's me!
One book out in paperback (HIGH SEASON) and a new one coming out at the end of April in hard cover called MATING SEASON. They're mysteries set in Provincetown. People tell me they're pretty funny.

10. I lived there off and on for eight years
I was connected to FAWC one way or another for most of that time. I try to get back at least once a year for a week or two. One of the most beautiful spots in the U.S., I think--especially off-season!

8. I read your "High Season" and am waiting for "Mating Season"
At my suggestion, your name as of today is at Stop You're Killing Me,

http://www.stopyourekillingme.com/L_Authors/Loomis_Jon.html

Your name will appear in their email letter that shows all new mystery books and authors. I love this site.

I liked "High." Characters are likeable.

9. She has a page on the SYKM site,
http://www.stopyourekillingme.com/D_Authors/Douglas_Carole-Nelson.html


You have to email Stan to add her to the humorous list. I think.

13. I am glad that Charlotte MacLeod is there
I have enjoyed the skewed outlook that "Professor Shandy" offered on the world and on "cow colleges."
