Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Sandra Neily (Monday), Dick Cass (Tuesday), Maureen Milliken (Thursday) and John Clark (Friday). Some Wednesdays from now on will be “Win a Book Wednesday” with giveaways, drawings, and announcements of winners. Be sure to stop by at mid-week to see what’s new.
In the news department, here’s what’s happening with some of us who blog regularly at Maine Crime Writers:
Coming on Wednesday:
For “Win a Book Wednesday” this week’s book will be copies of Steal Away, along with Kate Flora’s story of how she became Katharine Clark for this heart-stopping story of a child’s kidnapping. Drop in and leave a comment and a copy could be yours!
