Book signing with award-winning author Jeanne Blanchet

El Dorado resident award-winning author Jeanne Blanchet will hold a book signing here at El Dorado on Monday, August 26 for her latest book, Tales From the Far Side, a delightful collection of imaginative short stories, some featuring humorous, chatty animals—not to mention mouthy inanimate objects. Many of the stories take place during cataclysmic historical events, such as the 2012 onslaught of Hurricane Sandy, and relate to timely issues like racism, alcoholism, and attitudes toward people with disabilities. Featuring Navajo code talkers, Tuskegee Airmen, hibakusha (disfigured atom bomb victims), and AI, Jeanne’s thought-provoking book is sure to captivate anyone who relishes a good, albeit far out, story. This special edition is illustrated with the author’s own artwork.
