Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Kate Flora (Monday), the MCW group on “What We’re Reading” (Tuesday), Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson (Thursday) and Kate Flora (Friday).
In the news department, here’s what’s happening with some of us who blog regularly at Maine Crime Writers:
Kate Flora, Jule Selbo, and Maureen Milliken had a great time visiting the Vinalhaven Library last week. Ferry ride, fabulous accommodations, a cocktail party, and a standing room only audience for a making a mystery program.

Matt Cost will be having a book launch for City Gone Askew on pub day, July 31st, at the Brunswick Golf Club in Brunswick. On August 1st he will be doing a COST TALK at the Louis T. Graves Memorial Library in Kennebunk at 5:30 p.m. August COST TALKS are below.

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.

Hello Maine Crime Writers – Robert Conlin from Wiscasset. I’m a reader for the last few years, lurking in the shadows, which seems befitting for a crime space. But shameless self-promotion has drawn me out. My book, the Lewiston Shootings: An All-American Tragedy, is being released by WildBlue Press tomorrow, July 30th. It’s non-fiction true crime obviously. I thought this might be of interest to this audience. If anyone of you fellow writers has an interest in writing a review, I’d be very grateful!
That’s done. Back to the shade I go…
