Next week at Maine Crime Writers, there will be posts by Vaughn Hardacker (Monday), Brenda Buchanan (Tuesday), a group post (Wednesday) John Clark (Thursday) and Joe Souza (Friday).

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

Sandra Neily is working up a newsletter to go out next week offering up free Kindle copies of her first novel, Deadly Trespass. Readers who sign up for the newsletter at her site this week will all get a free copy. www.authorsandraneily.com After losing her publisher (who simply disappeared) and regrouping, she will release the second novel of the Mystery in Maine series, in January. Meanwhile, she’s making cookies and training the dog to do her part.

For a limited time, Lea Wait‘s publisher has reduced prices on the ebook editions of some of her backlist at Amazon and Kobo.

And in related news, THREAD AND BURIED debuted at # 21 on this week’s Barnes & Noble mass-market bestseller list.

Last Christmas, Kate Flora wrote a Christmas story for her friends (you) to enjoy. While she works on this year’s story, you can read last year’s by clicking here https://wordpress.com/view/kateclarkflora.com and then on A Christmas Story.
