Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson (Monday), Kait Flora (Tuesday), Brenda Buchanan (Thursday), and John Clark (Friday), with a Writing Tip post on Wednesday.

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

JULE SELBO is in the cold/rainy/windy Wild Atlantic Way of Ireland and has gotten a few short stories written reflecting the inclement beauty and Irish personalities there.  Her short story “TRI-COUNTY PAGEANT” will be featured in THRILLER MAGAZINE, Winter 2025 issue.

Attending the awesome New England Crime Bake the weekend of Nov. 7-9? Be sure to check out Trivia Night on Friday! MAUREEN MILLIKEN will be the host,  and you don’t have to be an aspiring “Jeopardy!” contestant to take part. It’s all about having fun.

On Saturday, Nov. 15, Maureen will be participating in the Authors & Artisans Night Market, 3-7 p.m., Thompson Free Library, 186 East Main St., Dover-Foxcroft, Maine. There will be many authors and other vendors. It’s a fundraiser for the library and community youth programs, so all for a good cause!

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.
