Author Kristen Lepionka to Speak at Rodman Library

The 2019 Fogle Author Series continues with author Kristen Lepionka, who will speak at Rodman Public Library on Saturday, Aug. 24, at 2 p.m., in the Main Auditorium. She is the author of the Roxane Weary mystery series and “The Stories You Tell,” her 2019 release. Lepionka’s debut, “The Last Place You Look,” won the Shamus Award for Best First P.I. novel and was also nominated for Anthony and Macavity Awards. The follow-up novel, “What You Want to See,” was selected by Book Riot as one of the best books of 2018. Lepionka grew up mostly in a public library and could often be found in the adult mystery section well before she was out of middle school. Her writing has been selected for Shotgun Honey, McSweeney's Internet Tendency, Grift and Black Elephant. She lives in Columbus, Ohio, with her partner and two cats. Future visiting authors of the Fogle Author Series to Rodman Library are Matthew Pearl, Saturday, Oct. 26, at 2 p.m., and Mindy McGinnis, Saturday, Nov. 9, at 2 p.m. Books will be available for purchase at the time of the authors’ visits which the authors will then sign after the program.
