Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Kate Flora (Monday), Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson (Tuesday) Sandra Neily (Thursday), and Dick Cass (Friday).

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

from Kathy Lynn Emerson: release date for the print-on-demand trade paperback reissue of The Writer’s Guide to Everyday Life in Renaissance England is Wednesday, July 19. Origially published in 1996 by Writer’s Digest Books as part of their Everyday Life series, it tells you pretty much everything you want to know about life in England under the Tudors and the first two Stuart kings. Since it would be hard to claim a renaissance was still in progress once the Puritans took over the country and beheaded their king, the details of day-to-day living apply to the years 1485 to 1649.

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.
