Buxton Books is happy to be the bookseller for the Charleston Library’s virtual event with historical fiction writer, David O. Stewart.

In particular he will discuss the The Paris Deception which centers itself and its protagonists around the 1919 Paris Peace Conference and the 1919 Pandemic. Through this lecture we will learn about our nation’s and the world’s response to one of the last major pandemics. Topical and interesting, with a good measure of mystery, this event will certainly entertain all.
