True crime, paranormal writer Janice Oberding featured speaker at Nevada State Library and Archives luncheon
Local author, Janice Oberding, will be the featured speaker for the March Nevada in Small Bites brown bag lunch. Aside from those who were incarcerated there, she is one of only a few people who have spent an entire night at Alcatraz.
While the likes of Al Capone and Machine Gun Kelly may have disagreed, Janice feels fortunate to have done this not once, but three times. In fact, one of the more intriguing TV shows she has worked with remains the Ghost Hunters (Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson) Alcatraz episode in which she was invited to accompany the team to the island. Although her part was cut from the episode, she was credited and thanked as a consultant and historian.
She has also worked with the Syfy channel, the History channel, Living TV and the Travel Channel. She appeared in episodes of the Dead Famous TV series, Travel Channel’s Haunted Hotels and Ghost Adventures and Fox’s Scariest Places on Earth.
Oberding enjoys traveling and research, history, true crime and the paranormal. She has published eight books and has two in process.
This talk will be held in the Nevada State Library and Archives Building, Suite 110, from noon to 1 p.m. on March 10, 2020. Attendees are encouraged to bring a lunch, and light refreshments will be served. The “Nevada in Small Bites” book talk series is held on the second Tuesday of each month. Join us for lunchtime conversations, guest authors, and historians and learn a bit more about of Nevada's history, literature, and community. Open to everyone.
