Next week at Maine Crime Writers, there will posts by Lea Wait (Monday), Dorothy Cannell (Tuesday), Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson (Thursday), and Sandra Neily (Friday). On Wednesday, for Halloween, we’ll present our “Frightening Thoughts from the Group”

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

 from Kathy Lynn Emerson: my short story, “Lady Appleton and the Creature of the Night,” previously published in Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine, is included in the new digital anthology, Terror at the Crossroads. It’s available now on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Terror-Crossroads-Tales-Horror-Delusion-ebook/dp/B07JK8RSX6

and soon, if not already, at Barnes & Noble, Magzter, Kobo, GooglePlay, and the iTunes store. Truthfully, I don’t know if I’d classify my story as “horror” but in it my sixteenth-century sleuth does solve a mystery involving a shapeshifter.

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
