AUTHORSPEAK SERIES
The LW Library is excited to announce its upcoming slate of authors who will be visiting Leisure World to speak with interested readers. From May to October, the library will host five different authors. The first event featuring Christopher Reich will be held Friday, May 9, in Clubhouse 4 at 11 a.m.
Reich, a New York Times bestselling author, has penned more than a dozen globetrotting, adventurous and thrilling novels. His latest book, “Matterhorn,” is the start of a new series featuring retired CIA agent Mac Dekker. These days Mac goes by Robbie Steinhardt, who now lives in a small alpine village tending to cattle.
News of his son’s death and the arrival of his old nemesis bring Mac out of retirement and into a high stakes, action packed, story of double agents and terrorist plots.
The presentation begins promptly at 11 a.m. Arrive as early as 10:30 to enjoy refreshments provided by the library and to find preferred seating. Books will be available for purchase.

Excluding Sheila Yasmin Marikar’s presentation, which will be held at Veterans Plaza, all other talks will be held at Clubhouse 4. All programs begin at 11 a.m.
