Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Dorothy Cannell (Monday), Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson (Tuesday), Kate Flora (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:

from Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson: Good news from both of me this week. As Kaitlyn, I’ve just sold the audiobook rights to the next Liss MacCrimmon mystery (Kilt at the Highland Games, out in hardcover in July) to Dreamscape. They’ll bring the book out on CD, which is a first for me. No word yet on who will be narrating or when it will be available to buy. Meanwhile, as Kathy, I’ve sold another Lady Appleton short story, “Lady Appleton and the Creature of the Night” to Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine. This one is as close to writing a paranormal story as I get (that’s to say, not very) and features the sleuth from my Face Down series set in sixteenth-century England. It will be published some time in 2017.

From Barb Ross: Speaking of audiobooks, the downloadable version of the audibook for Fogged Inn, the fourth Maine Clambake Mystery was released yesterday. You can access it here. The MP3 version is coming in June.
