Next week at Maine Crime Writers, there will be posts by Dorothy Cannell (Monday) Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson (Tuesday), Kate Flora (Wednesday), Bruce Coffin (Thursday) and Brenda Buchanan (Friday).
In the news department, here’s what’s happening with some of us who blog regularly at Maine Crime Writers:
Big News From Malice Domestic: Three Maine Crime Writers are among the finalists for the Agatha Award. Nominees are:
Fogged Inn by Barbara Ross for Best Contemporary Novel
Whispers Beyond the Veil by Jessica Estevao (aka Jessie Crockett) for Best Historical Novel
A Good Man with a Dog: A Game Warden’s 25 Years in the Maine Woods by Roger Guay with Kate Clark Flora for Best Nonfiction
Obviously there’s some great writing coming out of the state of Maine. Malice Domestic is a convention in Bethesda, MD for folks who love reading (and writing) traditional mysteries. This year it takes place from April 28-30. For more details go to Malice Domestic
