Last week, a bunch of us enjoyed meeting with readers (and other writers) at Books in Boothbay, an annual event held at Boothbay Railway Village.

Though this event is behind us, we thought you’d like to see photos of some of the crime writers who attended.

The Maine Mulch Murder by A. Carman Clark
This month, one commenter on the blog will will a copy of Kate Flora and John Clark’s mother’s book, The Maine Mulch Murder. As some of you may know, A. Carman Clark was a journalist and edited the home and garden pages for the Camden Herald. She also loved mysteries. After listening to her complaints about mysteries with too much violence, or characters who lived improbably lives a country woman couldn’t related to, her librarian friends told her to go home and write her own book. So she did.
If you can’t wait to see if you win, here’s the e-book cover and a link to the e-book version: http://amzn.to/2tRckZr

I love the blog. I read it daily and am a fan of many of the contributors.
As a lover of Maine, mysteries and gardening, I love the background story of The Maine Mulch Mystery!
I’d love to win Kate Flora’s mother’s book. Kate is one of my favorite writers, so I’m sure her mother was good too.
I’ve always wanted Kate’s and John’s mother’s book and never found it. Would love to own this book, I for some reason never realized it was in Ebook form. I’m a big fan of both Kate Flora and John Clark and I love how they have shared their mother with us.
