Author talk and book signing slated with Middleboro author J.W. Elliot.

Middleboro author, J.W. Elliot, will be in the Great Ponds Gallery at the Lakeville Public Library to talk about self-publishing and marketing of self-published books.

Elliot is a historian and a fiction author. He grew up in Idaho and learned to love the outdoors. He began shooting bows in grade school and eventually became an amateur bowyer, a press release from the library stated. He infuses his historical expertise and his experiences as a martial artist, knife maker, river guide, bowyer, canoer, and rock climber into his fiction.

His “Archer of the Heathland” series is a coming-of-age historical fantasy centered on a young archer propelled into military and political intrigues that endanger his family and threaten everything he loves.

This is a free program and is open to all ages. No registration is required. The schedule is 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday, April 8.

Copies of his books will be available for purchase and signing.
