Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Vaughan Hardacker (Monday), Kathy Lynn Emerson/Kaitlyn Dunnett (Tuesday), and Vicki Doudera (Friday). On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day we’ll post an e-book round up—news about our titles in electronic format just in time to read them on all those new e-readers and tablets folks will be receiving as gifts.

This close to Christmas there isn’t much news from Maine Crime Writers. Just like our readers, we’re busy with all the usual holiday chores, as well as with getting our works in progress to the point where we can take a few guilt-free days off to be with family and friends.

As usual, we’d love to hear your comments on Maine, Crime, or Writing. Just use the link below to share. All comments are automatically entered for a chance to win our wonderful basket of books and the very special moose and lobster cookie cutters.

If your library, school, or organization is looking for a speaker in 2015, we hope you’ll keep us in mind. Contact Kate Flora at mailto: kateflora@gmail.com to ask if contributors to Maine Crime Writers are available to talk about the writing process, research, where we get our ideas, and other mysteries of the business.
