Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson (Monday), Kate Flora (Tuesday), Jule Selbo (Thursday), and Joe Souza (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 actively involved in the Crime Wave Conference happening today, Saturday, May 30th. On Monday, June 1st, he will be giving a COST TALK at the Brewer Public Library at 6 PM. This will be followed on Thursday, June 4th, at 6 PM for another COST TALK at the Farmington Public Library. The focus of both of these talks will be on the Modern-Day Chronicles of Max Creed.

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.
