Blacksburg Books presents Author night with William E. Johnson on Thursday, May 11, 2023.
Virginia author and attorney William E. Johnson will be here to discuss his novel, "A Silent Tide", winner of the 2014 National Indie Excellence Award for Best Legal Thriller.
Beginning with the brutal 1927 ambush of Chesapeake Bay rum runners at a fog-shrouded cove on Maryland's Eastern Shore and culminating with a final showdown eighty years later when truth meets justice at Harpers Creek Marina, "A Silent Tide" brings to life the 2007 story of a bayside community racially rocked by the murder of favorite son and all-state athlete Jimmy Jarvis, and the trial of Jamal Billups, the African American man charged with the crime.
William will also discuss the writing and storytelling process, so all aspiring authors are encouraged to attend!
Admission is free and no registration is required. Just show up.
Blacksburg Books is located at 401 South Main Street, Suite 106 in Blacksburg, VA.
