Weekend Update: June 11-12, 2016

Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Guest Author Charlene D’Avanzo (Monday), Chris Holm (Tuesday), Jen Blood (Wednesday), Barb Ross (Thursday), and Maureen Milliken (Friday).

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

Yes — tomorrow, Saturday, June 11, you’ll find Maine Crime Writers Maureen Milliken, Kate Flora, Lea Wait, Richard Cass, and other wonderful Maine authors at the Guilford Memorial Library in Guilford, Maine. (That’s next to Hermon, near Bangor.)  We’re looking forward to seeing each other — and YOU!

Looking ahead to the week of the 20th (because it is important to make plans!), Brenda Buchanan will be Downeast talking about her Joe Gale mysteries, particularly Cover Story, which is set in Washington and Hancock counties. On Thursday, June 23 at 6:30 p.m. she will be at the Swan’s Island Library and on Friday, June 24 at 4:30 p.m. she will be reading at the Winter Harbor Public Library.

On Thursday, June 23rd, Kate Flora and warden Roger Guay will be at the Jesup Library in Bar Harbor, talking about A Good Man with a Dog. Here’s a photo of said “good man” with an adorable eight-week-old lab puppy named Lucy at the Bridgeton Library last Tuesday. Maybe Lucy will come to Bar Harbor with us as well?

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. And we encourage fun events like Death and Desserts, like the one last summer at the Liberty Library shown in the photos below.
