Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Jessie Crockett (Monday), Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson (Tuesday), John Clark (Wednesday), Kate Flora (Thursday), and a mystery post on Friday, the first day of 2016. Happy New Year, everyone!
In the news department, here’s what’s happening with some of us who blog regularly at Maine Crime Writers:
from Kaitlyn Dunnett: I know, I know, you wish someone else would have news, but getting writers to add to the update is like trying to herd cats! Plus, everyone’s busy at this time of year. So here, just to have something in the news, is the cover of the German edition of Ho-Ho-Homicide.
Hans Copek kindly translated the title for me. It is a take-off on a popular German Christmas song (“Oh, Come All You Little Children”) and ends up meaning “Oh, Come All You Little Murderers.” Hmm. Only one murderer in the novel, but it makes as much sense as a title as the U. S. one.
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

This is just a quick note of gratitude to those who have shared their stories and wisdom through this blog in the last year. The Maine Crime Writers blog is often the first thing I read in the morning and frequently a source of inspiration and entertainment. Good luck to all in 2016 and beyond.
Thank you, from all of us, for taking the time to post this. May you have a happy and successful 2016.
