Next week at Maine Crime Writers, there will be posts by Lea Wait (Monday), John Clark (Tuesday) special guest Paula Kenney, co-owner of Mainely Murders Bookstore in Kennebunk (Wednesday) a group blog (Thursday), and Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson (Friday).

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

from Kaitlyn Dunnett: from January 27 until March 3, the ebook of my Kilt at the Highland Games and other cozies by Kensington authors will be on sale for ninety-nine cents as part of Kensington’s “Escape the Cold with a Summer Read” promotion. This is the tenth book in the Liss MacCrimmon series set in Moosetookalook, Maine and is set (big surprise!) at a Scottish festival.

Lea Wait: Just a note to say I’ll be Skyping with a book club in New York States on January 30. This time of year, especially, it’s lovely to be able to visit with readers without worrying about travel, weather .. or even much time away from writing. So just a reminder that a Maine author could visit your book club or library or school via electronic means  — to talk possibilities, contact Kate Flora, as listed below.   

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
