Local authors Norm Kelly and Bob Sulaski appear together at a joint book signing on Saturday, November 12 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at Peoria Public Library North Branch to talk about their books False Face and 59 Years of Drumsticks and Pigskins.

Kelly, author of False Face, is well known for his tales of Peoria crime, gangsters and prohibition. False Face is fiction but loosely based on Kelly’s experiences as a private investigator. Barn burnings and a serial killer challenge the local sheriff to track down a killer in this latest tale.

Sulaski was co-captain of the 1952 Woodruff High School football team that played in the last Woodruff-Spalding Turkey Day game. He wrote 59 Years of Drumsticks and Pigskins to memorialize the memory of this Peoria sports tradition that started with a “Peace Conference” game in 1915 and ended in 1973. Several generations of Peoria men and boys played in and watched this annual rite.

A portion of the proceeds of all book sales go to support the Friends of Peoria Public Library. Call 309-497-2120 for more information.
