Sanford turned out to be quite a drive, but well worth it! We love seeing and learning about the different libraries right here in Maine.

Many thanks to Jackie McDougal

and all who took time out of their evening to spend it with us!

The Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance hosted the Maine Crime Wave at USM’s Glickman Family Library in Portland on Saturday.

Roger was invited to be on a panel discussing Law & Disorder, along with Bruce Coffin (fellow author/retired detective sergeant) and Lynne Raimando (fellow author/former lawyer). Kate Flora served as moderator for this panel.

These conferences are always great to attend as fellow writers and especially crime writers want to be the best they can be. These panel discussions make it possible to ask questions of those who have the answers. You may think it simple, like what the minute details of a crime scene might be….but authors want to get it right. Right down to the direction of travel determined by the mud puddle in the road…..

The keynote speaker was Maine Attorney General Janet Mills – who by the way, does not want to be addressed as General Mills…….she did an awesome job sharing her experiences and wealth of knowledge.
