Author Book Event and Discussion

Feb 8, 2025, 11 AM to 12 PM

Local (Sunderland, VT) author Philip R. Jordan will read from and discuss his new, historical Vermont novel
Bootlegger, Bullets and Brothers in the Kingdom on February 8th at 11:00 a.m. at the Martha Canfield
Library in Arlington, Vermont. Copies of the book will be available. Jordan is the retired (2019) editor & publisher of Vermont Magazine and this novel is his fourth book.

"Bootleggers, Bullets & Brothers in the Kingdom takes us for a high-speed chase through the darkness of Vermont in a 1932 Packard, just ahead of the law...in a coming-of-age tale set in Lyndonville and St. Johnsbury in the Great Depression. Jordan artfully brings characters Joey Ross and his older brother to life: their vulnerability to criminals and how those waters are navigated makes for a compelling story." (Rick Norcross, former photographer/entertainment editor of the Miami Times, and bandleader of Rick and the All Star Ramblers Western Swing Band, focusing on songs about Vermont.)
