Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson (Monday), Kate Flora (Tuesday), Brenda Buchanan (Thursday) and John Clark (Friday).

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

Matt Cost would like to welcome PIRATE TRAP into the family. This fifth book in the Clay Wolfe/Port Essex Trap series was born on Wednesday, March 27th, at a height of 8.5 inches and a robust weight of 13.4 ounces. Wednesday, April 3rd, Cost will be at the Baxter Library in Gorham speaking about the evolution of Pirate Trap at 6:00 p.m. On Saturday, April 6th, Cost will be on a panel of authors at the Exeter LitFest in New Hampshire playing two truths and one lie at the Sea Dog Brewery at 10 a.m. Kate Flora will also be there.

Kate Flora is both thrilled and astonished to learn she’ll be receiving the Lea Wait Award at the Maine Crime Wave this year. If you haven’t been to the Wave, you’re missing out on a great weekend and a chance to meet authors and hear their tips. Crime writers are a community, and this our Maine gathering.
