SACO — On Thursday, Nov. 14 Dyer Library is proud to present a special book signing by local author and radio personality Jon Shannon as he presents his book, “The Longest Summer” from 6-8 p.m.
Shannon, who is a Saco resident and morning host on radio station 101.9 WPOR’s popular morning program, explained to Dyer Library Trustee and Saco Mayor Jodi MacPhail, “I was inspired to write “The Longest Summer” on a cold winter evening, ironically.” He continued, “My love for my wife and the city of Saco are plainly evident in the story. Anyone familiar with Saco will immediately recognize familiar settings described in the book including Camp Ellis, Rapid Ray’s, The Saco Scoop, The Way Way Store, and more.”
From a description on Amazon, “The Longest Summer” takes readers on an emotional and suspenseful journey alongside Max, a man who awakens to a chilling reality where everyone has mysteriously vanished overnight. In this haunting world, Max is determined to find his missing wife, Hannah, and unravel the enigma of humanity’s sudden disappearance.”
According to Shannon, “Biddeford and Old Orchard Beach locales are included, as well and I’ve been told the book almost acts as a travel guide to encourage tourism!”
The signing will be held in the Deering Room of the library and will also include readings from select parts of the book and a chance to have copies autographed by the author.
Seating is limited and the book signing is first come first serve. Handicapped accessibility is available and all are welcome. Dyer Library is located at 371 Main Street in Saco. This event is free and copies of the book will be made available for sale and can be purchased in advance on Amazon.
