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

This Saturday (Aug. 19th) Maureen Milliken, John Clark, Matt Cost and Kate Flora will be here:

In case you missed it, Kate Flora was thrilled to get this review of Teach Her a Lesson by Frank O. Smith in the Press Herald:https://www.pressherald.com/2023/08/20/a-high-school-teacher-is-falsely-accused-of-sexual-assault-by-her-student/

A reminder about our Body Contest. Please share with your friends:

Yes, friends, it’s back: Our “Where Would You Put the Body?” contest

It’s Maine Crime Writers “Where Would You Put the Body?” contest – late summer/early fall edition. How do you enter? Send a photograph of your chosen spot to: WritingAboutCrime@gmail.com with “Where Would You Put the Body?” in the subject line. There will be prizes for First, Second, and Third place–books of course and other Maine goodies. You may enter no more than three photographs, each one entered separately. They must be of Maine places and you must identify the place in your submission. Photos must be the submitter’s original work. Contest will run through the middle of October.

Also in case you missed it, Maureen Milliken’s blog post this week was full of advice about beating writer’s block. Check it out. Heck, check out all our posts.

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.
