Join author Wayne Turmel as he explains how authors turn historical facts into compelling fiction in this writers workshop.
Historical fiction novelist Wayne Turmel has written thrilling tales based on actual historical events and facts which help make his stories believable, relatable, and intriguing for readers. In this detailed writers workshop, Wayne will reveal his techniques in weaving true events, small observations and trends of an era into a novel to build believable characters, plots and subplots, allowing the reader to get into the character's mind, absorb emotions through the description of accurate geography and history, and follow the storyline to the end. He will use references from his newest book, "The Deserter," a rugged adventure set in the French Foreign Legion, to demonstrate how writers can insert history into their story to put more "story" into history. Wayne's books will be available for purchase and signing after the presentation.
Free and open to the public. Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, please call 702.507.3458.

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
