Jack Woodville London to speak at New Braunfels Book & Author Luncheon

The Book & Author Luncheon is the New Braunfels Public Library Foundation’s annual fundraiser. Four carefully selected authors (Jack Woodville London, Sherry Thomas, Vanessa Roeder, Bob and Rachel Pineda) will speak during the luncheon, and you will have the opportunity to buy their books as well as purchase raffle tickets and bid on silent auction prizes.

Set in the violent Republic of Texas of the early 1840’s, Dangerous Latitudes is the story of an unlikely spy, two bumbling horse thieves, and a bewildering Black woman, all trapped between Sam Houston and a Mexican army that freely invades across the Rio Grande. Based on rich historical research and laced with exuberant, Texas-sized historical figures such as Sam Houston, Mirabeau Lamar, and Jack Hays, Dangerous Latitudes is a quest across a war-torn frontier that becomes a race to save two hundred captured Texans who the Mexican army has marked for death.
