Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Kate Flora (Monday), John Clark (Tuesday), Brenda Buchanan (Wednesday), Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson (Thursday), and Chris Holm (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: Next Saturday, September 17, Jen Blood, Kate Cone, Lea Wait and I will be in the gazebo just outside the New Gloucester Public Library in New Gloucester, Maine at 1 PM to celebrate the $1000 grant given to the library by Sisters in Crime. We’ll be talking about and selling our books and there will be food. Everyone welcome.

Our friends at the Curtis Memorial Library in Brunswick, who run a fabulous mystery author series every fall, have asked us to share the schedule, which includes two of our MCW writers:

Tuesday September 13: Ron Chase author of The Great Mars Hill Bank Robbery
Tuesday September 20: Maureen Milliken author of Cold Hard News and No News is Bad News
Tuesday October 4 : Amy Ray author of Dangerous Denials
Tuesday October 18: Chris Holm author of The Killing Kind and Red Right Hand

All programs are at 7pm in the library’s Morrell Meeting Room.

Susan Vaughan is excited to announce the publication of the first two books in her new four-book series, The DARK Files. In DARK MEMORIES, after witnessing a murder, Laura Rossiter hides under an alias at a Maine lake resort where she feels safe. Until old flame Cole Stratton walks back into her life. Now a Fed with DARK, he has come to protect her and flush out a killer. As dark memories assail them and a killer closes in, they must learn to trust each other—before their future is extinguished forever. In DARK COVER, Nick Markos inherited the shame of his brother’s terrorist dealings. Hoping to uncover the terrorists’ plot, DARK installs Vanessa Wade as Nick’s fiancée. Amid galas and intrigue, they cannot deny attraction, but is their relationship only a charade? One that can explode—along with a terrorist bomb? The DARK Files ebooks are available on Amazon.
