About this Event

Join us for a discussion and signing with fantasy author Valtinen Erik Karille.

"Little is known about this writer. The city hall has received numerous complaints of public indecency regarding a nude humanoid figure wandering the grounds of his 1871 fortress residence. These have largely been ignored due to the typical inclusion of horns in witness descriptions. Additional municipal violations include sky burials for roadkill, midnight outbursts of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" from his balcony, and the unlawful presence of a bison on residential property within city limits. Internet statements positively attributed to this writer claim a birth year of 1638, intensive training in Liberace Fashion Principles, and the discovery of a sixth-dimensional cube in his cereal in 2002. Sightings have spiked since mid-2024 with independent investigators suggesting that he has come out of seclusion to vindicate and canonize an ancestral Russian prince."

Valtinen Erik Karille is the Ohio-based author of Thief of Roses, a Beauty and the Beast retelling featuring a full cast of PoC and LGBT+ characters. It avoids the traditional post-Disney tropes of violence against women, emotional and verbal abuse, and a beast in need of anger management courses while taking a more grounded (and less gentrified) approach to what magic and its consequences look like when racism is rampant and survival is the goal.

He has done signing events, author + book fests, and readings in ten states over the past year. Most recently, he was a Featured Author at the Big Ohio Book Con where he participated in the panel "Monstrously Yours: The Allure of Monster Romance" alongside authors Kris Renee, Cari Dubiel, and best-seller C.M. Nascosta.
