 Matt Cost will be celebrating the launch of his twelfth book, Velma Gone Awry, at the Brunswick Golf Club from 3-5 p.m. on Saturday, May 6th. Come hoist a drink and consecrate the birth of this historical PI mystery with me. On May 12th, Cost will be at the Centerville Public Library doing a Mystery Making panel with fellow authors Connie Hambley, Kat Fast, and Arlene Kay from 1-2:30 pm.

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, along with the very popular “Making a Mystery” with audience participation, and “Casting Call: How We Staff Our Mysteries.” We also do programs on Zoom.
