Next week at Maine Crime Writers, there will be posts by John Clark (Monday), Susan Vaughan (Tuesday), Joe Souza (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:

 Kate Flora: On Sunday, August 11th, Kate Flora and Bruce Coffin, joined by Joseph K. Loughlin, will be at the Vinegar Hill Music Theater in Arundel. Starting at 6:30, we will be discussing writing about the police in fiction and nonfiction. Going to be a fascinating evening.

Kate Flora: On Wednesday, August 14th, Bruce Coffin, Dick Cass and Kate Flora will be doing a “Making a Mystery” program at the Freeport Library.

We are very sad to share the news that our dear friend, the amazing Lea Wait, died at home on Friday morning in the company of her daughters. We will post information about services when they become available.

 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
