Are you marked for disappearance?

What happens when rhetoric about immigrants escalates to an institutionalized population control system? The near-future, dark speculative novel INK opens as a biometric tattoo is approved for use to mark temporary workers, permanent residents and citizens with recent immigration history - collectively known as inks.

Set in a fictional city and small, rural town in the U.S. during a 10-year span, the novel is told in four voices: a journalist; an ink who works in a local population control office; an artist strongly tied to a specific piece of land; and a teenager whose mother runs an inkatorium (a sanitarium-internment center opened in response to public health concerns about inks).

The main characters grapple with ever-changing definitions of power, home and community; relationships that expand and complicate their lives; personal magicks they donâ€™t fully understand; and perceptions of â€œothernessâ€ based on ethnicity, language, class and inclusion. In this world, the protagonistsâ€™ magicks serve and fail, as do all other systems - government, gang, religious organization - until only two things alone stand: love and memory.
