Rachel has shared her wisdom over the last 20 years as a passionate speaker, best-selling author, grief consultant and facilitator for corporations, organizations and individuals throughout the US.

Description: Join award-winning author and Western historian Mark Warren for a presentation on the life of Wyatt Earp. After 63 years of research, Mr. Warren brings to us his new trilogy “Wyatt Earp, An American Odyssey.” No man is just one thing. No man has a spotless record. For a writer, balancing all the elements of truth is an artful endeavor. With Earp this process has been made all the more problematic by the bias of historians, themselves. Sanitized versions of Wyatt Earp’s life fill library book shelves. Right next to them are the condemning anti-Earp publications. Author Mark Warren discusses his Earp experiences that span six decades of research from Georgia to California. His Earp trilogy is a story of balance, incorporating all the known facts about the famous peace officer’s life and his perspective on the principles by which Earp lived his life—and why he sometimes veered from that credo. Join us for a study of all things Earp and the photographs that chronicle his life. The Venue: Topeka Shawnee County Public Library, 1515 SW 10th Ave. Topeka 66604 (785) 580-4400 Mr. Warren’s books can be found out Page 1 Books in Albuquerque.
