About
Join local authors Wren Handman, Lucas J.W. Johnson, and Ziggy Schütz for readings, a panel, and a Q&A and book launch.
Cross & Crow Books hosts this interactive event, which invites you to talk to local authors about the intersection of speculative fiction and queer culture. The event will open with readings from each of the three panellists, followed by a Q&A from Wren Handman about her new release, A Midnight So Deadly.
Following the Q&A, there will be an interactive panel discussion where the audience will be invited to ask the three authors questions about their work. Topics may include writing diverse queer characters, the appeal of speculative fiction, and the trials and tribulations of the current publishing industry.
