MONROE - Three local authors will host a book-signing from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 9, at the Monroe Arts Center, 1315 11th Street, Monroe. One of the authors, Kim Sigafus, will give a presentation on Native American traditions.
Peter Woodruff, Elizabeth, Ill., will be signing his book, "The Show Photographer." In the book Jill Hathaway, a professional horse-show photographer, is relentlessly pursued by a trio of murderous gangsters determined to destroy the only evidence of their crime.
Kim Sigafus, Warren, will be signing her book, "The Life and Times of the Ojibwa People." Prior to co-authoring the book with Lyle Ernst, Kim won several literary awards, including the Faith and Freedom Award for her poetry and photography and the Lena D. Myers Award for her historic writing. Written for a general audience, the book features many oral traditions including the legend of the dream catcher and the importance of the turtle to the Ojibwa.
John Buford, Orangeville, will be signing his book, "Voyage of Folly." In 2005, while his wife was commanding for the US Army in Texas, Buford bought a small sailboat, aptly named "Folly," to occupy his time. Knowing little about sailing, but being informed shortly after the purchase that his wife was being transferred to the Pentagon, he found a crew to help him sail the boat from Texas to Washington, DC. The planned five-week trip turned into an interesting five-year journey, ending in Chicago in 2009.
