meet the author at Cross Plains library - april 26, 2026

Meet the Author: Mark A. Daniel

The Cross Plains Public Library invites the community to a relaxed evening with local author Mark A. Daniel on Wednesday, April 23 at 6:30 PM.

Mark lives just north of Cross Plains and writes suspense novels about ordinary people facing extraordinary challenges. His stories often explore themes of courage and good versus evil, set against familiar West Texas landscapes. With ten published novels and his newest book, Convergence, set to release soon, Mark continues to connect with readers who enjoy thoughtful, page-turning fiction.

During the evening, Mark will share a little about how he got started writing, what inspires his stories, and what goes into creating his books. He will also read a short passage from his work. The event will be informal and welcoming, with refreshments, conversation, and an opportunity to visit with the author.

Everyone is welcome, whether they are regular readers or simply curious about the writing process. It should be a wonderful community evening and a great chance to say hello to one of the area’s local authors.
