Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson (Monday), Kate Flora (Thursday), and Brenda Buchanan (Friday). Happy Fourth of July everyone!

In the news department, here’s what’s happening with some of us who blog regularly at Maine Crime Writers:

from Kathy Lynn Emerson: Yesterday was the release date for the print-on-demand trade paperback edition of my Agatha-award-winning nonfiction, How to Write Killer Historical Mysteries (2022 edition). I recommend ordering copies from Barnes & Noble, as they have proven faster and more efficient at filling orders for POD books than Amazon, but any bookstore or library should be able to order a copy.

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.
