Kristen Lepionka is an American crime fiction writer known for her Roxane Weary private investigator series.
She began a draft of The Last Place You Look in November 2014 and completed it in about six months.[1] She entered the manuscript in Pitch Wars, which gave her the opportunity to work with a mentor and eventually resulted in the book's publication.[2] The Last Place You Look was the first book starring private investigator Roxane Weary. The Roxane Weary books have been praised for their representation of bisexuality.[3][4][5]
Since 2015, Lepionka has been the editor of Betty Fedora, feminist crime fiction journal.[6][2] She co-hosts a podcast called "Unlikeable Female Characters".[7]
Personal life
Lepionka lives in Columbus, Ohio with her partner Joanna. Like her character, Roxane Weary, Lepionka is bisexual.[7][8]
