Fairfield Author Paul Ferrante to Talk About New Young Adult Novel -- Last Ghost at Gettysburg

As the country honors the 150th anniversary of the Civil War Battle of Gettysburg this July, Fairfielder Paul Ferrante will visit the Library to talk about his new young adult novel, Last Ghost at Gettysburg, a T.J. Jackson Mystery.   Join us when he visits Tuesday, July 23 at 4:00 pm in the Memorial Room at the Main Library, 1080 Old Post Road.  Registration is required.

In Last Ghost at Gettysburg, high school freshman T. J. Jackson thinks his summer is going to be a drag when his dad drops him off with his uncle, aunt and geeky adopted cousin LouAnne.  But Gettysburg isn’t the boring Civil War town he expected.  A ghostly Confederate cavalier has been terrorizing nighttime visitors to the battlefield.  And LouAnne isn’t so geeky anymore, she’s a sassy beauty who leaves him breathless.  Things escalate when the cousins, aided by T. J.’s quirky friend Bortnicker, attempt to solve a murder mystery that has local police, park rangers and paranormal investigators in a panic.  Because how do you stop an undead killer from 1863 from wreaking havoc in the 21st Century?
 
Ferrante is an English teacher and former football coach who teaches at Coleytown Middle School in Westport.  He is also a sports lover, baseball memorabilia collector and a columnist for Sports Collector’s Digest.  He has been writing and telling stories since he can remember, including a novel he wrote in high school about his football team’s adventures.  Fans of Last Ghost at Gettysburg will be glad to know that this is the first book in the T. J. Jackson Mystery series.
