Mark your calendars! On Tuesday, Sept 17 at 7:00 PM, Harvard Book Store is hosting three fabulous writers—Kelly J. Ford, Margot Douaihy, and Stephanie Gayle—for a discussion of CRIME INK: ICONIC, the queer crime fiction anthology I co-edited with Salem West.

This book is close to my heart because it answers a real gap: in 2023, 517 stories appeared in crime anthologies, but fewer than 1% were by LGBTQ+ authors. CRIME INK: ICONIC brings together 20+ bold, surprising stories inspired by queer icons like James Baldwin, Oscar Wilde, Dolly Parton, Laverne Cox, and more.

If you’re in Boston, don’t miss this event—it’s going to be a great night of crime, community, and celebration.
