Upcoming Book Signings

Shortly after his best-selling book Tarawa: The Story of a Battle was published in 1943, Robert L. Sherrod, a World War II correspondent for Time and Life magazine, observed, "I was naive enought to supporse that an author was finished with a book, once it was written."

As Sherrod learned, there is plenty to occupy an author's time once his or her book has been published. With that in mind, I will be available to sign copies of my new book about Sherrod's wartime experiences, Dispatches from the Pacific: The World War II Reporting of Robert L. Sherrod, at several locations over the next few months. The times and dates are as follows:

• 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, November 18, Three Sisters Books & Gifts, 7 Public Square, Shelbyville, Indiana.
• 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, November 25, General Lew Wallace Study and Museum Hoosier Author Fair, 200 Wallace Avenue, Crawfordsville, Indiana.
• Noon to 4 p.m., Saturday, December 2, Indiana Historical Society Holiday Author Fair, Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center, 450 West Ohio Street, Indianapolis, Indiana. Free admission.
