Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the release of Crime Ink: Iconic, a groundbreaking new anthology of queer crime fiction. This intimate author panel brings together three Ohio-based contributors (Kristen Lepionka, Meredith Doench, and Jeffrey Marks) for a lively discussion of their stories, the evolution of queer crime writing, and the power of representation in the genre.
Enjoy readings from the anthology, a thoughtful panel discussion, audience Q&A, and the chance to meet the authors in person. Signed books will be available for purchase during the event.
This anthology showcases an incredible array of talent, including New York Times Best Crime Novels of 2024 honorees Margot Douaihy, Robyn Gigl, John Copenhaver, and Katrina Carrasco; Lambda Literary winners Ann Aptaker, Greg Herren, Ann McMan, and J.M. Redmann; and other celebrated writers like Cheryl Head, Penny Mickelbury, Christa Faust, Jeffrey Marks, and Kelly J. Ford.
