Today’s drinking game: drink whenever we do!

Bios:
William R. Hincy: “Some people run from their demons; others sit down and have cocktails with theirs.” William R. Hincy is a man who does and writes about the latter. Having become a writer after deciding it was the only sensible thing for a problem drinker to do, Hincy aspires to use literature to connect society on an emotional level through characters who no longer create messes but have instead become the mess. Between rounds, Hincy has won 3 American Fiction Awards and an International Book Award, and his personal anthology of short fiction WITHOUT EXPIRATION was named one of the Best Books of 2020 by Kirkus Reviews. He now lives outside Los Angeles with his wife and kids, having found solace in the notion that the only things sacred are self and whiskey-winged interludes.
Sue Alcon O'Connor is a West Denver native who now lives in Littleton Colorado with her husband and her two rather sketchy chihuahuas Kevin and Karen. Sue enjoys reading, cooking, inappropriate jokes, long walks on the beach, and murder. “Killing someone in a novel is so fun and satisfying - and you don’t end up in prison.” The Bone Shelter is her first novel. Her second novel, A Justified Murder of Crows will be available mid 2024. If you thought The Bone Shelter was a rollercoaster ride of genre-jumping weirdness, you haven’t seen anything yet!
