Noir at the Bar – A Great Night in Baltimore!

Last night’s Noir at the Bar in Baltimore, part of the CHILLED TO THE MARROW N@B series, was fantastic.

Host Nik Korpon put together a great lineup of authors to to help raise funds to cover medical expenses for Evie Swierczynski, who was recently diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Evie is awesome, and she’s the daughter of Duane Swierczynski, author of a lot of amazing novels and comic books.

For more information about supporting #TeamEvie, visit this GoFundMe page.

The lineup of authors included:

• Kim Alexander
• S.A. Cosby
• Jessica McHugh
• Andrew Novak
• Damien Angelica Walters

The show was held at Zella’s Pizzeria, and I can personally (and heartily) recommend the calzone.
