Please join us as a group of progressive crime writers discuss the importance of incorporating economic, environmental and other crimes in their novels and stories, in a popular genre with a long history of social commentary, and the challenges of being a creative artist in a commercial medium that doesn't want to hear alternative views that run counter to the dominant center-right "mainstream" narrative.

Kenneth Wishnia- Titles include: 23 SHADES OF BLACK, SOFT MONEY, THE GLASS FACTORY, RED HOUSE, BLOOD LAKE
