Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Chris Holm (Monday), Lea Wait (Tuesday), Barb Ross (Wednesday), Susan Vaughan (Thursday) and John Clark (Friday).

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

Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson is at Bouchercon this weekend, but when she returns she’ll be drawing names to give away ARCs of The Scottie Barked at Midnight. See her post from October 8 for more details.

Kate Flora: A bunch of us are in Raleigh, North Carolina this weekend for Bouchercon 2015, which is a huge national mystery convention. I keep trying to get pictures of Chris Holm (he moves too fast), Dorothy Cannell (she is always surrounded by a crowd) and Kathy. We shall see if I succeed. Until then, here are some other pictures. Maybe I can also get a good picture of Dreyfus the Cadaver Dog. I know you’d like to see that.
