Joe Schoenmann

Raised in a geologically idyllic rural community along the Wisconsin River, Joe Schoenmann moved to Las Vegas in 1997 to get a taste of city reporting after covering the mostly incorruptible government and low crime of his home state. A multiple award winner for newspaper and magazine stories, "Vegas Rag Doll" is his first book. He lives in one of Las Vegas’ original neighborhoods in the downtown area.
