Author Talk at Huron Library

Doug Cooper Author Talk – Huron Library – Dec 10, 7p

Come hear Doug give a talk on “Living What You Write to Research Fiction” at the Huron Library on Tuesday, December 10 at 7 pm. Doug will provide insight on questions such as, “Where Do Authors Ideas Come From?” and “How Much of What Authors Write About Is True?” and many more relating to his three novels Focus Lost, The Investment Club, and Outside In.

Register on the Huron Library website or respond to Facebook Event to reserve your spot. After the talk, Doug will be signing and selling copies of all three of his books.

This event is free to the public and part of the Huron Library Speaker Series.

Focus Lost:

The line between passion and obsession runs through us all.

Levi Combs never planned to rocket to stardom.

Eva Florez knew he would the moment she saw him.

Gabe Adams didn’t want anything to do with celebrities.

But after Gabe’s sister sells his photos of Levi with a young starlet to a tabloid website, their lives become intertwined forever, bound by rage and retribution.

Blending the nuance and insight of literary fiction with the big-screen magic of a Hollywood thriller, Focus Lost whisks readers into a world of temptation, indulgence, and revenge, daring them to take a bite of the forbidden fruit.

Investment Club Signing at Loganberry Books

Doug will be signing copies of The Investment Club on Sunday, August 20 from 1-3 at Loganberry Books in Cleveland on hip Larchmere Boulevard, a mile-long mecca of independent shops and services, and great restaurants, just a block north of historic Shaker Square.
