Next week at Maine Crime Writers, there will be posts by Charlene D’Avanzo (Monday) and Darcy Scott (Tuesday). Wednesday and Thursday we’ll be doing group blogs on our picks for scariest movies and scariest books.

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

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.
