Mysteries by Mollie Cox Bryan:
All of my Cumberland Creek books focus on your favorite characters from the first book. Annie, Vera, Paige, Sheila, and DeeAnn are still managing to get together weekly to scrapbook and eat. (And of course, Beatrice!) Check out all of the wonderful things bloggers, reviewers and readers are saying here.
The Cora Crafts Mystery series is set at a craft retreat in the a quaint fictional town of Indigo Gap. The main characters in the book are Cora and Jane, best friends from childhood, launching a new craft retreat business together. Each book has different crafts and crafters–and different murders, of course. Also, Cora and Jane are younger than my Cumberland Creek characters, so a wee bit of romance is involved.
The Buttermilk Creek series, which is set on micro dairy farm in the Shenandoah Vally of Va., which is where I live. My main character, Brynn, is a cheesemaker.

Ms. Bryan,
I just finished reading Scrapbook of Secrets and I loved it!
Evie
Thanks so much, Evie!
I have read both Cumberland Creek books and love the characters! Will there be a third in the series and if so, how soon? 😉
Lisa
Thanks so much, Lisa! Yes, there will be more books. Book 3 is scheduled to be published Feb. 2014. Right now, the title is “Death of an Irish Diva.” There will also be two more books and two e-novellas. So, stay tuned!
I enjoyed “Scrapbook of Secrets” Quite a cast of characters! At the conclusion of the book, there was an excerpt from “Scrapbook of Shadows” Was this ever published?
Thanks so much, Joanna! Yes, Scrapbook of Shadows is out, but the publisher changed the name to Scrapped. Thanks so much for asking. Cheers!
I have not read any of your books yet. Just find you. Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you! And thanks for commenting–glad you found me. 😉
I loved all three books. I just finished Death of an Irish Diva. How many more books will be in the series and when will they be published? The characters are great!!
Thanks so much! Right now, there are two more books planned. CRAFTY CHRISTMAS comes out in October. The fifth book comes out next year. There is an e-novella available now–SCRAPPY SUMMER. And, there will be an e-novella published between CRAFTY CHRISTMAS and the fifth book. Once again, thanks so much!
Thanks for clearing up the mystery of SCRAPBOOK OF SHADOWS name change.
I have been going crazy trying to find it. Love the characters and don’t like to read a series out of sequence. Keep them coming please.
Why did you, and other authors, release ebooks? I do not have a Kindle, or an ereader, and don’t intend to, for several reasons. How much are we missing by not being able to get the ebooks – such as Scrappy Summer, and the one you say is coming out between Crafty Christmas and the book to be released in 2015? Thanks for your response.
Thanks so much for your note. I can’t speak for other authors, but the e-books of mine are just little e-novellas, that fill in some gaps in time between the long stretches of publishing the books. So, you are missing a little in the timeline of Cumberland Creek, but the books catch you up on the important things. You know you don’t need a kindle or e-reader to buy and read those e-books. If you get the free kindle app off of amazon you can get the e-novellas and read it on your computer. It’s really not up to me whether or not the publisher decides to offer those short e-novella as books in the future, but you never know. Once again, thanks so much for your note.
I discovered your books a month ago, and just finished the newest- “A Crafty Christmas”. I can’t wait to see what’s in store next for the scrappers, especially after that jaw-dropping ending that you left us with. Thank you for bringing these ladies to my life-I love each and every one of them!
Thanks so much Lisa for dropping me a note! I’m so glad you like the books. Cheers!
I discovered your series when you did a reading at the Suffolk Mystery Writer’s Festival in November. I finished Crafty Christmas, and now I’m going back and discovering Bea, Vera, Sheila, Annie, and the rest of the crew from the beginning. You have an awesome knack for opening your stories with page turning attention grabbers (Sheila tripping over a dead body; Beatrice returning from the grocery store with a knife in her neck). Found your series on Kindle Unlimited as well. Your books are a great introduction to this genre of mystery writing.
Thanks so much! What a lovely compliment! I loved Suffolk and the festival was fantastic, wasn’t it? Happy Holidays!
I had never heard of wildcrafting, but your pictures on Pinterest are wonderful. Excited to go check out the new series.
It’s sort of a new term for what some folks used to call nature crafts. Thanks so much for checking out out my page and for commenting here!
Mollie, I came across your book: Death Among The Doilies. first time for to read your books and it was Fantastic and well done, can’t wait to get the second one you have out for this month. hope you keep this new series going! Thanks so much. Lisa
Are there going to be any more Cumberland Creek books? I just finished Scrapbook of the a dead tonight. Since it was written 2 years ago and your on to another series I thought it might be over .
Hi Karen,
The good news is the series has not been cancelled. But I’m still not sure if there will be more books, at this point. But my new series has visits from my cumberland Creek characters. 😉
Thanks so much for asking,
Mollie
I just finished reading a library book, SCRAPPED. I really enjoyed it, and others in the series. Unfortunately, only the NOOK version seems to be available. Alas – I hope to find a copy in thrift shops!
Hi Iris, thanks so much! I had no idea about Scrapped! Thank you for letting me know! Cheers,
Mollie
Good morning, I have so enjoyed your Buttermilk Creek mysteries. Will there be more?
Hi Suzanne,
Thanks so much! I’m working on the next one.
Cheers,
Mollie
I so enjoyed your Buttermilk Creek series. Will there be more books coming?
There will be one! Thanks for asking.
How do I sign up for your blog?
Love the Little Bookshop of Murder series. Wish you could have a book come out twice a year on this series. Just finished book 2. Loved the prolog.
Thank you!
Thanks so much! I’m working on book 3 now!
Is Their Going To Be More Of The Buttermilk Creek Mystery Bokks
Hi LaVerne,
Unfortunately the publisher cancelled that series. But I’m working on a novella to publish on my won. Thanks so much for asking!
Best,
Mollie
I just read Christmas Cow Bells and loved it. You’ve been on my readers to try list and this book nailed it for me. I found the cheese making a novel new interest for a cozy mystery. The characters were delightful and people I would want to know for real. The book was well written with interesting twists. I can’t wait to read more.
Mollie,
Started reading you when I was still scrapbooking with the Cumberland Creek series and followed with the Cora Craft Mysteries. Now into sublimation and headed into the Buttermilk Creek series. Can’t wait to see what those cows are up to. LOL! Have thoroughly enjoyed your books and recommended them to many in my scrapbooking group. In fact I think you are on the group blog as good reads! Thanks so much!
