Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Maureen Milliken (Tuesday), John Clark (Thursday) and a group post (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:

Sandra Neily here: Announcing that Grace is the winner of my first novel, Deadly Trespass. (From the June 30th Wind a Book Wednesday.) I emailed all entry hopefuls a free Kindle copy of the novel. (Apologies. Took me a while to realize I needed to email everyone in return.) Please stop by this Wednesday for our next Win-A-Book-Wednesday!

On August first I’ll be interviewed by V. Paul Reynolds on his “Maine Outdoors” radio program at 7 PM. It’s been a few decades since I sat in the studio with him. I think I had a loon calling contest with someone who called in. I think I won.

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
