Lea Wait:  Excited that my Uncertain Glory, to be published April 4, got a wonderful Kirkus review …”Wait … captures the infrequently depicted Northern homefront effects of the Civil War … Joe’s homespun voice captures the full flavor of a smart and determined kid with his eyes firmly on the future, richly evoking time and place.” Hurrah!  Taking a few deep breaths after completed Twisted Threads, my first needlepoint mystery, and editing Pizza To Die For … a middle grade contemporary mystery. Definitely not bored!

Kaitlyn Dunnett: Just got my first look at the cover for my October book, Ho-Ho-Homicide. It will probably be tweaked a little before publication. They usually insert quotes and such, but this will give you the idea. My editor sent it with the comment “feel free to share” so I figure that means I can post it here. Enjoy!

An invitation to readers of this blog: Do you have news relating to Maine, Crime, or Writing? We’d love to hear from you. Just comment below to share.

And a reminder: If your library, school, or organization is looking for a speaker, we are often available to talk about the writing process, research, where we get our ideas, and other mysteries of the business. Contact Kate Flora: kateflora@gmail.com
