HENDERSON, Nev. – Henderson Libraries will host the second Local Author’s Showcase from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 28, at the Paseo Verde Library, 280 S. Green Valley Parkway, near the 215 Beltway. Along with a writers’ panel and a workshop, more than 70 authors will be selling, signing and discussing their books at booths located around the library.
The event will begin with the morning showcase from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., followed by an author panel starring former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman, author of “Being Oscar: From Mob Lawyer to Mayor of Las Vegas,” and Geoff Schumacher, author of “Sun, Sin and Suburbia” and “Howard Hughes: Power, Paranoid and Palace Intrigue.” The panel will be moderated by Brian Rouff, author of “Dice Angel” and “Money Shot” and partner with Imagine Communications. The afternoon showcase will run from 1 to 3 p.m., followed by “How to Market Your Book,” a workshop with author Morgan St. James.
