Next week at Maine Crime Writers, there will be posts by William Andrews (Monday), Bruce Coffin (Tuesday), John Clark (Thursday) and Joe Souza (Friday) with a group post on “What We’re Reading” on Wednesday.

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

Lea Wait: Lea will be speaking about both her mysteries and her historical novels from 6-7:30 p.m. the evening of Thursday, July 11, at the Mustard Seed Bookstore, 74 Front Street, Bath, Maine.

 Brenda Buchanan and Dick Cass:  Brenda and Dick will be at Walker Memorial Library on Thursday, July 11, discussing how and why reading crime fiction is good for one’s mental health.

The discussion will be held in the historic (though air-conditioned!) Gathering Room from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m.  Walker Memorial Library is located at 800 Main Street in Westbrook. There’s ample parking in an adjacent lot. FMI: https://walkerlibrary.org/event/summer-reading-speaker-series-the-health-benefits-of-murder-mysteries/
