Ayers to sign books next Tuesday at library

Curt Ayers, who writes under the pen name of C.P. Tertius, will be reading from and signing copies of his new historical fiction novel, “Every Man Truly Lives Alone,” on Tuesday, March 27, at 1 p.m., at the Marshall County Library, 109 East Gholson Avenue in Holly Springs.

Ayers, who lives in Edwards but spends a good deal of time in Thailand, is a former military officer, corporate executive and university professor who is a semi-professional musician, blue-water sailor and adventure traveler.

His travels have taken him around the globe several times with major stints in Latin America, Europe and Asia. He has resided in South-East Asia for several years where he has witnessed the plight of stateless refugees of whom he writes.

“Every Man Truly Lives Alone” tells the story of U.S. Army Captain Keith Miller, who journeys across the exotic landscape and on the high seas of Southeast Asia with his companion, Jey, a courageous but unfortunately indentured Thai-Karen woman.

Critics have called it “...powerful, stark” and a “...compelling love story with twists and turns on the streets of Thailand and Burma...”

The book is published by Hellgate Press.
