Meet Author Curt Ayers on August 23!

     Author Curt Ayers will host a book signing on Thursday, August 23 from 12:00-1:30 PM in the library auditorium.  The event will be a Brown Bag Lunch, where attendees are encouraged to bring their lunch and drinks and dessert will be provided by the library.  Curt Ayers, writing at C. P. Tertius, will be discussing his book, Every Man Truly Lives Alone:  A Novel of Love, Loss and Recovery. 

     Ayer’s book is centered around the story of U.S. Army Captain Keith Miller, who survived the conflict and danger of the Vietnam War, various clandestine operations, a plane crash and being lost in the jungle.  None of these incidences could prepare him for what was in store for him after meeting the winsome, enigmatic Jey—a courageous, indentured Thai-Karen woman—and journeying with her across the exotic landscape and high seas of Southeast Asia.
     C. P. Tertius is a pseudonym for Curt Ayers, a former military office, corporate executive and university professor who is a semi-professional musician, blue-water sailor and adventure traveler.  Mr. Ayers has attained both civilian and military graduate and post-graduate diplomas and has been published   technically under an alias.  His travels have taken him around the globe several times with major stints in Latin America, Europe and Asia.  He has resided in South-East Asia for several years where he has witnessed the plight of the stateless refugees of whom he writes.  Ayers’ story is as much his story as it is the people he has met during his life’s journeys.
