Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Charlene D’Avanzo (Monday), ??? (Tuesday), a Halloween Group Post (Thursday), and Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson (Friday).
In the news department, here’s what’s happening with some of us who blog regularly at Maine Crime Writers:
Matt Cost had the cover reveal for his November 13th release of Mainely Mayhem, Book 6 in the Goff Langdon Mainely Mystery series.
From the back cover:
Things are not right in Brunswick. Chabal is wracked by the nightmare that was the Wendigo. Langdon is hired to investigate the questionable moral integrity of one of Brunswick’s favorite sons and gets thunked in the head and left to die on a boat mooring in the Atlantic Ocean. And that is just the beginning of the bad.
Judge Cornelius Remington is being fast-tracked to be a Supreme Court Justice-why? After only a five-day investigation of Remington, Langdon is pulled from the case, suggesting that the judge had already been rubberstamped and that the White House staff and FBI were just going through the motions. But there are questions about the man’s past that Langdon can’t shake, a past that might still live in the present.
“Welcome to Maine: The Way Life Should Be.” Or so the billboard reads upon entering the state. But that was before MAYHEM, a corruption born in Brunswick that has seeped throughout the state and is threatening the entire nation.
It is up to Langdon to find and stop MAYHEM before it is too late. And the clock is ticking.
Jule Selbo will be leading a class at CRIME BAKE Nov 8 – we’ll have fun exploring how to “3D” the great characters you are writing (or planning to write) by use various story genres to go along with Crime and Mystery.
And talk about structure of your stories, how various genres such as horror, paranormal, fantasy, thriller and more can enhance and make the write “funner” (to use a word embraced my grand-niece).
CRIME BAKE takes place Nov 8-10 at Boston/Dedham Hilton and it’s full of “funner” and “inspirations” and networking and just great times with fellow writers and readers!
