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

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

Maureen Milliken has events across Maine in the coming week.

On Thursday, July 18, she’ll join Kate Flora and Jule Selbo for a Making a Mystery panel hosted by Friends of Vinalhaven Library, 7 p.m. at the library, on the island of Vinalhaven.

On Friday, July 19, she’ll share a table with Kate Flora at the Bath Art Hop, 3-6 p.m. in downtown Bath.

And on Saturday, July 20, she’s the guest author at the Phillips Public Library Annual Readers, Writers & Runners 5K, their major annual fundraiser. No, she won’t be running. But she will speak about her Bernadette “Bernie” O’Dea series, which is set in a fictional town very near Phillips. It’s at 11 a.m., and you don’t have to run in the race to listen to the author talk.

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.
