Author Visit

Meet local author, editor and teacher Celia Jeffries, and hear her read from her new book - Blue Desert. Blue Desert is the story of Alice George, a headstrong young British woman, and her life among the Tuareg, a tribe of nomadic warriors. Visit the author's website HERE.

'Crossing continents, cultures, and history, this story of one woman’s ordeal and renewal is filled with hope and generosity. Alice is a remarkable character whose bravery and determination are as much a part of her survival as her expansive heart, curiosity, and capacity for forgiveness. “The desert is a palace of winds. A palace of space,” Alice recalls about her years away from home. The same can be said of Blue Desert, an exquisite, expansive, and transporting novel'. -Hester Kaplan, author of The Tell
