Jeb Ladouceur at Huntington Book Revue - Book Revue sold their entire stock of copies at the conclusion of the highly successful event.A standing room crowd was on hand at Huntington’s famed Book Revue on Tuesday night, April 28th. The Occasion was local author Jeb Ladouceur’s tenth appearance. No other author has conducted as many events in Book Revue’s long history. Ladouceur signed copies and spoke about his latest thriller, “The Quantum Syndrome” and specifically, the way it was once thought to be lost, but was remarkably retrieved through computer technology.
Honored during the landmark book signing (L to R) are local authors in widely differing genres, Judith Carrick, Werner Reich, Marguerite Zangrillo, Russell Reball, Ladouceur, Rob Von Bernewitz, Charlene Knadle, Walt Fifer, and Dina Santorelli.Ladouceur took the occasion to recognize the literary and artistic achievements of a number of his friends and associates involved in writing as well as the performing arts. Each was given an inscribed award commemorating their contribution to the arts in general.
Book Revue Publicist Loren Aliperti introduced Mr. Ladouceur, noting that he is “nationally recognized for his career in Public Relations, Advertising, and Publishing.” Ms. Aliperti went on to point out that prolific writer Ladouceur is a former New York State Senate candidate and a charter member of Governor Mario Cuomo’s Arson Task Force. “He is the founder and Publisher Emeritus of the iconic and broadly circulated Fire News,” she noted, “and is the award-winning author of ten 
Recognized for their contributions to the performing arts, and specifically excellence in music, are (L to R) Judith Carrick, Ben Mastrocola, Virginia Cardiello, Diane Dunkhase, Ladouceur, Bill Morris, Nancy Darman, and Angie Morris.widely selling novels in his chosen thriller genre.” He is also recognized as a prominent Theater and Book Reviewer, whose critiques appear regularly in a number of leading Long Island newspapers and online publications.
Jeb Ladouceur is a resident of Smithtown, where he has lived with his wife Elizabeth for more than fifty years. His newest thriller is based loosely on the Atlanta Child Murders of the early 80s, but is set in the area the author knows best…eastern Long Island.
Ladouceur told the large audience that he has already begun work on his forthcoming book. It explores the relationship between Pulitzer Prize winning author Harper Lee (“To Kill A Mockingbird”) and her childhood friend, Truman Capote, noted for the novel “In Cold Blood” the masterpiece on which Lee collaborated. Ladouceur met Capote in Bridgehampton a few years before that famed author’s death in 1984, but has never talked with the reclusive Harper Lee…now 89 and living in Monroeville, Alabama. Ladouceur is writing the book in Truman Capote’s fiction-based-on-fact style, and it promises to be a bombshell he said. “Its premise makes all the sense in the world. I only wish Nelle Lee (Harper is actually her middle name) would talk with me about it, though I certainly respect her right to privacy.”

It was an honor to be part of this presentation.
Regretfully, I missed Jeb's presentation due to a sudden onset illness , but I am told it was unprecedented in excellence . I will however make sure I purchase a copy of the Quantum Syndrome as soon as possible. Can't wait for his next book which holds a special interest for me
