Books in Boothbay 2020

July 11, 2020, 9 AM – 1:00 PM, Boothbay Railway Village

We hope to be spending the summer in Maine libraries, doing our fun programs like Making a Mystery. This summer, if we can resurrect ourselves from isolation, we’ll be introducing a new program: Casting Call: How We Shape The Characters Who Carry The Story. We hope we’ll be seeing many of you at these events.

Here are some questions for those of you who follow Maine Crime Writers:

What Would You Like From Us? Are there questions we should be answering? Insights we should be providing? Do you want to know more about the writer’s life? Or maybe less? Are we keeping you up-to-date on our new releases?

Hope to hear from you. We’re a community, even if we’re currently isolated from one another.
