Next week at Maine Crime Writers, there will be posts by special guest Jim Hayman (Monday), Kate Flora (Tuesday), Barb Ross (Wednesday), Brendan Rielly (Thursday), and Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson (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: I’ll be the guest speaker at the Author Luncheon held at the South Freeport Congregational Church on Friday, May 12 from 11:30-1:30. If you are interested in attending, you can still make a reservation by calling 207-865-4012.

Meanwhile, online, my publisher is doing two Goodreads giveaways of hardcover mysteries in the Liss MacCrimmon series. You can check them out at the following links:
