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

from Sandra Neily:  In addition to watching the cove freeze (a ZEN pandemic thing) I’ve been sending out some special things to readers. (I really miss library talks where the conversation is always unpredictable and valuable: full of sharing. )

In celebration of the birds and bats I got to know while researching my latest book, I am giving away a half-day, winter birding trip (for 2) at Downeast Nature Tours. Wanna join in? Just sign up on the newsletter pop-up on my author website: Sandra Neily (authorsandraneily.com)

(Owner and guide Michael Good’s been climbing around Acadia National Park looking for snowy owls almost every day.) Down East Nature & Birding Tours (downeastnaturetours.com)

My granddaughter will draw the lucky sign-up email out of her favorite hat in about two weeks. (We can trust her.)

from Kaitlyn Dunnett: COVER REVEAL!

The fourth “Deadly Edits” mystery, set in the Catskill Mountains of New York State and featuring retired teacher turned book doctor Mikki Lincoln as the amateur sleuth, will be in stores in August 2021.

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. We also do programs on Zoom. Contact Kate Flora
