Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Kate Flora (Monday), Maureen Milliken (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:

John Clark along with Matt Cost and Vaughn Hardacker, were at the biggest author event ever last weekend. We were part of 100 authors and poets filling the Bangor Public Library. Here are some photos of the event.

Christopher Packard, the man who made it happen.

Brook Merrow is on the left, her YA mystery, Trapped, is a top notch read.

Matt Cost setting up.

Some people were very civil

Tim Caverly, author of many Maine books for kids.

Colorful displays abounded.

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.
