Next week at Maine Crime Writers, there will be posts by Barb Ross (Monday), John Clark (Tuesday), Maureen Milliken (Wednesday), and Susan Vaughan (Thursday), and on Friday we’ll have a special group post on Good Maine Cooking.

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

On Saturday, August 26, Jen Blood, Lea Wait and Maureen Milliken will be chatting and selling (and signing!) their books at the Designing Women Fine Art and Craft Show at Longfellow’s Green house on Puddleduck Road in Manchester, Maine from 9:30 am until 4 pm. All the vendors at the show are women, and the show is a benefit for the Sexual Assault Crisis and Support Center in Winthrop.
