Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Kate Flora (Monday), Maureen Milliken (Tuesday), Dick Cass (Thursday), and Vaughn Hardacker (Friday).

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

Vaughn Hardacker recently completed The Woman in the Woods, the 3rd novel in his Maine Literary Award-nominated Michael Houston & Anne Bouchard series (Sniper and The Fisherman; both finalists in the Crime Fiction category). He is seeking Beta Readers. Anyone interested can contact him at vhardacker@gmail.com.

This coming Saturday the 21st, Maureen Milliken and Kate Flora will be in Freeport at the Designing Women’s Craft Fair. It will be at the Waldorf School from 9-4

Last weekend, the New England Crime Bake honored Kate Flora, a founder of the conference now celebrating its 25th year, with a gorgeous bouquet

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.
