Next week at Maine Crime Writers, there will posts by Maureen Milliken (Monday) Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson (Tuesday), Joe Souza (Wednesday), Vaughn Hardacker (Thursday), and Kate Flora (Friday).

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

 Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson has expanded her list of reference books available for free to those interested in sixteenth-century England. She used these to do research for Elizabethan mysteries written as Kathy Lynn Emerson and Tudor novels written as Kate Emerson. If you’re interested, the complete list is at: http://www.kathylynnemerson.com/ResearchBooksGiveaway.htm

It is with great sorrow that Maine Crime Writers has to report that Lea Wait‘s husband, Bob Thomas, passed away this past week. His obituary appeared in the Portland Press Herald. https://www.pressherald.com/2018/04/11/feature-obituary-robert-thomas-edgecomb-artist-inspired-by-maine-landscapes-time-spent-in-beirut/
