THE NEW TOWN AT ST. CHARLES HOSTS A LOCAL AUTHOR BOOK SIGNING
Three well-known local authors will be at The New Town at St. Charles on Saturday, Oct. 22 from 1 – 3 p.m., signing books and answering questions on how to write your own book and the process it entails. The book signing will take place in front of Main Street News and The Coffee Cottage near the outdoor amphitheater.
One of the authors in attendance, Laura Bradford, recently published her debut novel, Jury of One, a murder mystery that takes place in a small beachside town of Ocean Point, New Jersey. While the book has received national acclaim and Bradford has traveled the country for book signings, she is from the St. Charles County area. To find out more, visit www.laurabradford.com.
Ann Hazelwood, author of 100 Things to Do in and Around Historic St. Charles, is a local in every sense of the word. A St. Charles native, Hazelwood explores historic Main Street, the Katy Trail, local bed-and-breakfast restaurants, festivals and more in her newly published book.
Joseph Cusumano will be another author on hand at the book signing. He has published two books, Transforming Scrooge and If You Build It. According to Cusumano, Transforming Scrooge is an analysis of the Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol, and If You Build It centers on the timeless messages in the film Field of Dreams. Joseph Cusumano will talk about self-publishing as an option for authors.
“Whether you simply enjoy reading or writing books, are an aspiring author or are seriously considering publishing a book, this book signing will be a great event for you,” says Greg Whittaker, president of Whittaker Homes, the developer of The New Town at St. Charles. “These events play a major role in making this development a true town. New Town is becoming another great destination place in St. Charles where people can hang out and stay awhile. These free events allow people to slow down and spend quality time with their family.”
Ultimately, this $1.5 billion project will be a thriving town with approximately 5,700 residences in ten phases, with a carefully planned mix of homes in addition to a large town center and four neighborhood centers.
