Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Kait Carson (Monday), Dick Cass (Tuesday), and Charlene D’Avanzo (Friday), and on Wednesday we’ll be introducing you to new Maine Crime Writers’ regular, Gabi Stiteler.

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

Maureen Milliken will be at Letterpress Books & Gifts, 91 Auburn St., Portland from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. today (Saturday, Nov. 23), for a meet and greet. Stop in to say hi, pick up a signed copy of her latest Bernadette “Bernie” O’Dea mystery series, DYING FOR NEWS, and check out the book store!

On Tuesday, Nov. 26, Maureen will join mystery writers DonnaRae Menard and Elaine Isaak (EC Ambrose) for a panel on “Where Writers Get Their Inspiration,” at 6 p.m.  at Meredith Public Library, 91 Main St., Meredith, New Hampshire.

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.
