Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Jule Selbo (Monday), Joe Souza (Tuesday), Vaughn Hardacker (Thursday) and Gabi Stiteler (Friday).

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

Kathy Lynn Emerson: The revised edition of Face Down Beside St. Ann’s Well (trade paperback and included in the updated omnibus e-book, The Face Down Collection Three) is now available. It can be ordered through your local bookstore or library. This time it’s Lady Appleton’s twelve-year-old foster daughter, Rosamond, who leads her into danger. The story is set at the baths in Buxton, Derbyshire in 1575, and several real historical figures, including the infamous Bess of Hardwick, make appearances in the story. The Bangor Daily News called this one “one of her best” and I Love A Mystery said it is “an enjoyable, tightly plotted gem of a novel which will keep the reader guessing until the very last page.”

Maureen Milliken and Vaughn Hardacker both have tables at the Central Aroostook Chamber of Commerce Winter Holiday Fair this weekend, at the Sargent Community Center, 24 Chapman Road, Presque Isle. The show is 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Sunday. It’s a great show with tons of vendors! If you’re in the area, stop by 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.
