Next week at Maine Crime Writers, there will be posts by Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson (Monday) Sandra Neily (Tuesday), Kate Flora (Wednesday) Dick Cass (Thursday), and Lea Wait (Friday).

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

Lea Wait: Saturday, December 1, I’ll be in Brunswick, Maine at the Unitarian Universalist Church’s Holiday Fair at 1 Middle Street — right opposite the library — from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. I’ll have copies of all my books, including the latest ones, and some audio books — and there will be crafters, food, wreaths, live music — a lovely and fun way to spend some shopping time on the first Saturday in December!

 Lea Wait and Barbara Ross get a shout out, along with the whole Maine cozy mystery genre, in the Match Book column recommending Maine women authors in the New York Times Book Review. The column will appear in the print edition of the magazine on Sunday, December 9.

Bruce Robert Coffin: Saturday, December 1, join me at Fine Print Booksellers, 28 Dock Square in Kennebunkport. I’ll be helping kick off Christmas Prelude by signing copies of the Detective Byron mysteries from noon to 2 p.m.
