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

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

Hey! Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut fans! We know you’re out there… Maureen Milliken will be at the Pages & Pints Small Press Expo at Mayflower Brewing in Plymouth, Mass., 12-4 p.m. Sunday.

The event celebrates local authors, small presses, and indie book shops. There are dozens of authors and other vendors represented (besides Maureen!), so come on over and check it out. It’s free, and it’s indoors. And, um, pints, people!

Maureen will also join fellow Maine Crime Writer Kate Flora at their monthly table at the Brunswick Art Walk from 4-7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 9. They’re easy to find — they’ll be right next to fellow Maine Crime Writer and Brunswick local guy Matt Cost’s table.  Come on down and say hi!

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.
