Author will discuss new historical fiction

AUTHORSPEAK AT THE LIBRARY

The Leisure World Library will hold its next AuthorSpeak event on Friday, Aug. 11, at 11 a.m. next to the Library at Veterans Plaza.

Nicola Harrison is the author of three historical fiction novels, “Montauk,” “The Show Girl,” and her latest, “Hotel Laguna.”

“Hotel Laguna” follows trailblazer Hazel Francis from the female-staffed factories of World War II to the sun-splashed beaches of Southern California, on a daring journey to demand more for herself. Publisher’s Weekly calls this beach read, “One to savor.”

The presentation begins promptly at 11 a.m. Attendees may arrive as early as 10:30 to enjoy refreshments provided by the library.
