Next week at Maine Crime Writers there will be posts by Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson (Monday), John Clark (Tuesday), Susan Vaughan (Wednesday), Sarah Graves (Thursday), and Kate Flora (Friday).
In the news department, here’s what’s happening with some of us who blog regularly at Maine Crime Writers:
from Kaitlyn Dunnett: The first book in my Liss MacCrimmon Scottish-American Heritage Mystery series, Kilt Dead, is on sale through the 22nd of this month as a Kindle download. Bargain price is just $1.99. We’re gearing up for the release of the paperback edition of last year’s hardcover, Vampires, Bones, and Treacle Scones [#7] on September 2nd and the debut of the new hardcover, Ho-Ho-Homicide [#8] on October 28th. In Kilt Dead, Liss returns to her hometown of Moosetookalook, Maine after a knee injury ends her career as a professional Scottish dancer.

What she doesn’t bargain for is finding a body in the stock room and being suspected of putting it there.

Lunch will be available, I’ll be one of about 70 dealers, and if you come looking for me — my booth is inside the barn. Then Saturday, August 23, at 11 a.m. I’ll be speaking about Shadows of a Down East Summer at The Yarn Seller, 264 Route 1, in York Maine. I’ll be bringing some of my Winslow Homer engravings to share, and will have copies of my other books available for purchase and signing, too. And I do have a manuscript due September 1 …
