Weekend Update: December 6-7, 2025

Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Jule Selbo (Monday), Joe Souza (Tuesday), Gabi Stiteler (Thursday) and Rob Kelley (Friday), with a Writing Tip from Rob on Wednesday.

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

From Kathy Lynn Emerson: All of my e-books are on sale this month at Smashwords. That includes all the titles in the Face Down and Mistress Jaffrey Mystery series, the Face Down Collections (the same titles in omnibus editions),  the omnibus edition of the four Diana Spaulding 1888 Mysteries, the romance collections, the children’s books, the non-fiction (including How to Write Killer Historical Mysteries), and my two most recent rewrites of historical novels originally published in the early 1990s, Death of an Intelligence Gatherer and Dangerous Visions. Everything is half price. Now is your chance to stock up on your winter’s reading! Titles written under my pseudonyms are not included, but everything else is.

Matt Cost will be at the Bangor Book Festival on December 13th with over ninety other authors. Come check it out at the Bangor Public Library from 10-3:30. Write on!

The winner of our November bag of books is Dana Green.

Every Christmas, Kate Flora writers a holiday story for everyone. There will be a new story posted soon. Those from past years are on her website www.kateclarkflora.com

And a reminder that once again, in December, one lucky reader who leaves a comment on the blog will win a bag of books.

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.

    Read every Kate Flora blog today. The story about her mother’s book was fascinating.
