It’s June, which for many means Pride Month!

Whether your days are getting brighter and warmer or darker and colder, celebrate by cozying up with a good book on the beach or in front of the fireplace, depending on your hemisphere.

No matter the temperature, if you’re looking for something queer and cozy this Pride Month – or any time of the year, let’s be honest! – then the wonderful Marian at CozyMystery.com has us covered with two themed reading lists…

Queer Cozy Authors

Investigate the “Queer Cozy Authors” page currently featuring 50+ openly LGBTQ+ authors writing cozy mysteries – including G. B. Ralph (i.e. me!):

Be sure to check out this incredible list – you’re bound to spot some of your favourites and hopefully discover some new ones too!

Queer Cozy Characters

There’s also the “Queer Cozy Characters” page listing cozy mystery book series featuring queer main characters and/or sidekicks, which is another brilliant resource!

You’ll spot The Milverton Mysteries (featuring our gay amateur sleuth Addison Harper) amongst many other excellent LGBTQ+ cozy mystery book series.

Happy Pride and happy reading!

If you discover a new fave, I’d love to hear about it! Drop me a message:

If you’re keen to keep in touch, I’d love to have you on my mailing list – it’s the best way to keep up with me and my books:

And if you want to get stuck into a cozy mystery series featuring a gay main character (i.e. Addison Harper) that is written by a gay author (i.e. me!), then check out The Milverton Mysteries:

P.S. You might have noticed I’ve used ‘cozy’ throughout this post when I’d typically use ‘cosy’, which is the NZ English spelling and aligns with British English on this. However, as this post is about the lists curated on CozyMystery.com which uses the American English spelling of ‘cozy’, I have followed suit by using ‘cozy’ for consistency.
