The Las Vegas Writer’s Group holds monthly meetings for authors in every stage of their writing career. The programs they provide and support for fellow writers are invaluable. The February meeting will feature Stephens Press author Sarah Lee Marks (who writes as Lander Marks) presenting a unique perspective on the collecting of stolen World War II art and artifacts as told through her novel Artist’s Proof. Sarah has spent the past decade developing her sharp, sassy, and quick-witted characters with an earnest desire to deliver unbiased information from which the reader will take away new insights about this period in history. Using her book as the backdrop, Marks will dispense tips for developing solid research habits, and how to creatively incorporate this information into your manuscript. Marks will display a painting by Bela Kadar, recently discovered to be from the Nazi-era of ‘degenerate’ contemporary art.
February 19th ~ 7 PM ~ The Tap House. There’s a modest $5 fee and you do need to RSVP at Las Vegas Writer’s Group.
This is going to be a great talk and meeting. Looking forward to hearing research tips, and, as always, networking with the other members. LVWG has developed in to a great resource for both established and aspiring writers.
Please feel free to submit specific questions regarding research issues to landermarks@readartistsproof.com so I may bring more relevancy to the presentation. I am looking forward to meeting other members of the LVWG. Visit my blog: http://www.books4oprah2read.wordpress.com for some fun commentary.–sarahlee
