Next week at Maine Crime Writers, there will be posts by John Clark (Monday), Dorothy Cannell (Tuesday) , group post (Wednesday), Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson (Thursday), and Bruce Coffin (Friday).

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

Maureen Milliken will creep into the Land of Gerry Boyle when she speaks at the Albert Church Brown Memorial Library, 37 Main St., China Village, Maine, at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 18. (Snow date is Feb. 25, but when do we ever get snow in February in Maine?).

Maureen, with the indulgence of the wonderful librarians who allow her to speak, accompanies her talk with a slide show that is sometimes well-received. She will also sign books and have books available to buy.

Kate Flora apologizes for being absent lately, but she’s been on a big orange bus, riding around in Northern India. Here’s proof (although she supposes it could just be photoshopped)

Stay tuned in to our weekend updates, because next week there will be a give-away announced, and you won’t want to miss that, will you?

An invitation to readers of this blog: Do you have news relating to Maine, Crime, or Writing? We’d love to hear from you. Just comment below to share.

And a reminder: If your library, school, or organization is looking for a speaker, we are often available to talk about the writing process, research, where we get our ideas, and other mysteries of the business. Contact Kate Flora
