Jeb Ladouceur Introduces His Twelfth Novel To an Enthusiastic Smithtown Library Audience
This big crowd is typical of the heavy turnouts that Smithtown author Jeb Ladouceur has drawn at more than one hundred book signings for his dozen thrillers over the past ten years.
Dr. Louis Greenblatt, a longtime friend of Smithtown’s favorite writer of fiction, attends all of Ladouceur’s signings. THE SOUTHWICK INCIDENT is dedicated to the Nissequogue M.D.
One of author Ladouceur’s earliest supporters is Hofstra English professor Chuck Anderson. Like the Smithtown writer, Anderson is also a prolific novelist. He lives in Bellport.

Renowned writer, actor, and director of Theatre Three in Port Jefferson, Jeffrey Sanzel, shown here with his friend, noted actress Linda May, is a strong supporter of Ladouceur’s literary work.
Author Jeb Ladouceur’s zest for writing exciting fiction virtually leaps from the podium as he describes the creative process as he sees it. “I’m only half alive when I’m not writing,” he says.

A longtime friend of Jeb Ladouceur, and the author of four children’s books, Smithtown’s popular entrepreneur Marguerite Zangrillo is said to be branching out into adult fiction writing. ‘Muggs’ is a regular at Jeb’s several book events.
Jeb’s great-grandson, Jackson Kamp, seems inclined to follow in Papa Ladouceur’s footsteps. According to the four-year-old’s parents, the boy loves nothing more than to read and write. He’s shown here with his aunt Kim Ladouceur, who always assists at her grandfather’s book signings.
