Local Author Showcase
Presented by the South Texas Book Festival
I’m excited to share that I’ve been invited to participate in “STBF Presents: Local Author Showcase”, a special event celebrating the incredible literary talent in our community. Held as part of the South Texas Book Festival, this showcase offers a unique opportunity for readers to connect directly with local authors.
Come by to meet me and other storytellers, hear about our creative journeys, and explore our latest books. In addition to author meet-and-greets and book signings, the event will feature two engaging panel discussions, where authors will share insights into their writing process, read excerpts, and reflect on the power of storytelling.
It’s a wonderful way to support local literature and be part of a vibrant cultural experience. I hope to see you there! Thank you, Victor Vasquez.
