Nevada Author of the 2016 NV Reads Book Grind

Washoe County Libraries host local author Mark Maynard.

Meet Mark Maynard, Nevada author of the 2016 NV Reads book Grind.

Convicts round up wild mustangs, a schizophrenic homeless man wins the jackpot and disappears, a truck driver with a child's mind spends his last hours in the embrace of a prostitute's photos-disparate and vivid, Mark Maynard's characters intersect in the new wild west of Reno, Nevada.
