Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Maureen Milliken (Monday), Kate Flora (Tuesday), John Clark (Thursday) and Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson (Friday), with a guest blog on Wednesday.

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

Today (July 25) several of us are at the Beyond the Sea Book Festival in Lincolnville Beach, Maine. Come join us if you can. Late morning and early afternoon is the best time to find us there, as we’re signing in overlapping shifts. Attendees include Barbara Ross, Dorothy Cannell, Lea Wait, Kate Flora, Susan Vaughan, and Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson. The complete schedule is here: http://www.beyondtheseamaine.com/book-festival-2015.html

Barb: On Thursday evening, July 30, at 6:30 I’ll be at the G.A.R. Memorial Library in West Newbury, MA, discussing “Not Your Ordinary Cozy Mystery” with fellow Wicked Cozy Authors, Jessie Crockett, Liz Mugavero and Edith Maxwell.

Lea: And, for next weekend, Sunday, August 2, Vaughn Hardacker, Maureen Milliken and I will be at the Belgrade Lakes Artisans Show, with our books, of course, from 9 am until 3 pm.  A chance to talk with us … and take home a signed book (or three!)

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: mailto: kateflora@gmail.com
