Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Barb Ross (Monday), Dick Cass (Tuesday), Lea Wait (Wednesday), Susan Vaughan (Thursday), and Brendan Rielly (Friday).

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

Kate Flora and Roger Guay will be at the library in Ellsworth this coming Thursday, September 8th at 6:00 p.m. to talk about the challenges of a writing collaboration and their book, A Good Man with a Dog. We’re giving away this lovely pillow to someone who buys the book from us this month, or lets us know they’ve bought it by posting a review.

Kate also reminds our readers that this weekend (through Tuesday) is your last chance to leave a comment and be eligible for our end of summer bag of books and Maine goodies. You know you want it, and we love to hear from you–about what you’re reading, what you’d like to see on the blog, or just as part of our on-going conversation with readers.

Lea Wait is excited to announce that Friday, September 9, is publication day for her SHADOWS ON A MORNING IN MAINE. It’s the eighth in her Shadows Antique Print mystery series, and Maggie is making major changes in her life. She’s moved to Maine, started a business with Will and, yes, she has a referral for the daughter she’s been dreaming of adopting. But making all her dreams come true is going to be more complicated, and more deadly, than she hoped. Available in trade paperback and e-book formats.

Late addition to the weekend update from Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson: As a follow-up to the Tonight Show mention of one of my books, I was interviewed by our local online newspaper, The Daily Bulldog. You can read the article here:
