Next week at Maine Crime Writers, there will be posts by Joe Souza (Monday), Jen Blood (Tuesday), Sandra Neily (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:

The “Where Would You Put the Body?” contest has winners! We have prizes for First, Second, and Third place—books of course and other Maine goodies. It was great fun to see where entrants wanted to park Evil Aunt Alice (or whomever.) Here are the three winning entries along with the folks who submitted them. We’ll contact each to arrange prize delivery.

1st place Katherine Page. Gut the engine, keep the flowers going and in most rural areas you’d never have anyone give it a second thought until you died and some poor relative had to deal with the junker.

2nd place Janet Murch. Think about it. If you hid a body in one of these tanks right after everything has been spread and add quick lime, by the time it gets used again, there won’t be much left to discover.

3rd Place Bruce Harris Room 9, York Harbor Inn, York, ME Gotta love hiding a corpse in a room that everyone forgot.
