The Nevada Public Library is pleased to announce its 2024 Midwest Author Series. The library will be hosting a variety of authors from various genres at the library from February to October. Iowa author Rachelle Chase will join us to discuss her new middle grade historical fiction novel being released later this year, The Time I Was Susan Clark. Chase is also the author of two nonfiction books about the town of Buxton, Iowa, the Black utopia founded in 1900. This author talk will be great for young and old alike interested in learning about some Iowa history that isn't discussed much!
Rachelle Chase, author of Creating the Black Utopia of Buxton, Iowa and Lost Buxton, along with six fiction book and novellas, has given more than 120 presentations about the amazing town of Buxton and has appeared more than 60 times in news publications and on the radio, podcasts, and tv, both locally and nationally. She's also a published romance author who, while writing romance, created and co-hosted an online writing contest for aspiring romance writers (which resulted in numerous writers landing agents and book deals) and hosted two popular podcasts featuring bestselling authors that amassed more than 19,000 profile views and 40,000 listens. Rachelle's a former columnist for the Des Moines Register. In 2021, Rachelle launched a nonprofit, Uniting Through History and invites all to join their monthly History Book Club for adults.
