"Behind the Ink," has featured amazing bestselling authors such as ZANE, Curtis Bunn, Kimberla Lawson Roby, and Detective Chris Anderson!


The featured author this year is New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kennedy Ryan. Kennedy writes for women from all walks of life, empowering them and placing them firmly at the center of each story and in charge of their own destinies. Kennedy and her writings have been featured in NPR, Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, Glamour, Cosmo, Ebony, TIME, and many others. The audio edition of her novel Reel received the prestigious Audie® Award, and her Skyland series is currently in development for television at Peacock. The co-founder of LIFT 4 Autism, an annual charitable book auction, Kennedy has a passion for raising Autism awareness. Dubbed “Queen of Hugs” by her readers, she is a wife to her “lifetime lover,” and mother to an extraordinary son.
