Next week at Maine Crime Writers, there will be posts by Maureen Milliken (Monday), Charlene D’Avanzo (Tuesday), Dorothy Cannell (Wednesday), and Lea Wait (Thursday) with a group post on Friday.

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

Maine crime writers will be all over Maine this summer, talking books and writing and offering our entertaining new program, Making a Mystery, that involves readers in creating a mystery on the fly so they can see how crime writers work. Is your library hosting a Maine crime writer this summer? What about your book club or community group? We’re here, ready and willing to visit. Just let us know what you’d like. Ask your library to invite us!
