Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Kate Flora (Monday), Al Lamanda (Tuesday), Kaitlyn Dunnett (Wednesday), Vicki Doudera (Thursday), and Sarah Graves (Friday).

In the news department, here’s what’s happening with some of us who blog regularly at Maine Crime Writers:

If any of you happen to see a copy of the summer edition of Mystery Scene Magazine, take a look at the crossword puzzle on page 68. Books by both Lea Wait and Kaitlyn Dunnett show up as clues.

Lea and Kaitlyn (also appearing as Kate Emerson and Kathy Lynn Emerson), together with Kate Flora and Dorothy Cannell and many other Maine writers, will be participating in the Beyond the Sea Book Festival in Lincolnville Beach, which runs for three days, July 25-27. The full schedule is at http://www.beyondtheseamaine.com/events.html

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
