Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Brenda Buchanan (Monday), John Clark (Tuesday), Joe Souza  (Thursday) and Jule Selbo (Friday).

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

Maine Crime Writers Dick Cass, Maureen Milliken and Jules Selbo will be at the South Portland Public Library, 2 p.m. Saturday (Feb. 3), for a Make Your Own Mystery event. If you’ve never attended one, check it out. The audience helps prompt characters, plot, setting and more, and the three mystery authors make a story out of it. It’s a lot of fun, often funny, and a great way to spend an hour on a winter afternoon. Barbara J. Kelly will also be selling our books. The library is at 482 Broadway in South Portland.

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.
