Lunch & Learn with Aura Marquez
Join us for a special presentation with Aura Marquez, a queer, Chicana, and autistic indie author from Southern California. Aura will share her journey of living at the intersections of identity and culture, and how those experiences shaped her path as a writer.  She’ll also discuss her process of creating inclusive supernatural stories that center queer, neurodivergent, and BIPOC characters. Her debut novel, V, introduces readers to a world where vampires live in the shadows of LA. Blending the thrills of supernatural fiction with themes of identity, belonging, and survival, V brings forward diverse voices and perspectives rarely seen in the genre.
• Free copies of V will be available (while supplies last).
• Book signing with the author.
• Free lunch provided!
