Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Kait Carson (Monday) and Dick Cass (Tuesday).

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

Kate Flora: A three-book set of my Thea Kozak mysteries is on sale right now:

Matt Cost will be doing a COST TALK at the Albert Church Brown Memorial Library in China Village, Maine, today, at 2 p.m. The focus of the talk will be on the recent release of The Not So Merry Adventures of Max Creed with a nod to the November publication of Mainely Mayhem. Idea, backstory, research, reading, writing–come hear about the books and the process.

On Thursday, May 29th, Matt Cost will be giving his COST TALK at the Isaac F. Umberhine Public Library in Richmond, Maine at 6:30 p.m. If you attended the talk in China Village, you can skip this one, because it will be very similar.

There will be no talking, but Matt Cost will be signing books along with Maureen Milliken and Dale Phillips, at the Barnes & Noble in South Portland, Maine, on Saturday, May 31, from 1-3 p.m. Come check out the fun without having to listen to Cost blab along about his books. The Not So Merry Adventures of Max Creed will be Matt’s featured book.

Kate Flora: Book Nine in the Joe Burgess series, Those Who Choose Evil, out in June, is available for preorder:

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.
