Three indie authors (Renee Dugan, Katherine Marie, & Brianne Wik) will join us for a virtual panel discussion exploring their work and the process of self publishing.  Lexington teen Lucy Gould will moderate the discussion.   Registration is required to participate.  This program is open to tweens, teens and adults.

Renee Dugan is an Indiana-based YA/NA author who grew up reading fantasy books, chasing stray cats, and writing stories full of dashing heroes and evil masterminds. Now with over a decade of professional editing, administrative work, and writing every spare second under her belt, she has authored THE CHAOS CIRCUS, a portal fantasy novel, and THE STARCHASER SAGA, an epic high fantasy series. Living with her husband, son, and not-so-stray cats in the magical Midwest, she continues to explore new worlds and spends her time in this one encouraging and helping other writers on their journey to fulfilling their dreams.

Kathryn Marie was born and raised in the small town of Oxford, MA. She began writing at the young age of thirteen, when she was stuck in bed recovering from spinal surgery. Ever since then, she's loved creating and developing stories and characters for others to enjoy. She received her degree in Baking & Pastry Arts and Hospitality Management and worked in the hospitality industry for almost ten years. But her day job doesn't keep her from her true passion of writing and developing her many stories and planned books. When she is not at work or busy writing in her home office, Kathryn can be found spending time with her wonderful husband or friends, experimenting with new makeup techniques, or watching reruns of her many beloved TV shows.

Brianna Wik lives in North Carolina and is the author of  The Iridescent  Series. When not writing, Brianne can be found curled up on the couch reading all things fantasy and/or romance, watching Disney+ or Hallmark Movies, or snuggling her cat and husband.
