Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Rob Kelley (Monday), John Clark (Tuesday), Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson (Thursday) and Maureen Milliken (Friday), with a writing tip from Allison Keeton on Wednesday.

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

Matt Cost will be at the Dance Hall in Kittery on Monday, March 16th, at 6:30 PM for a Noir at the Bar. Maine Crime Writers Gabi Stiteler, Allison Keeton,  and Brenda Buchanan will be joined by some of the finest and scariest writers in New England. Cost will be reading from the book that scarred his relationship with his wife, Mainely Wicked, when she asked what dark place he was in when he wrote it.
