Mythical travelers using portals to move through centuries of time. Political scandal and cold-blooded murder, written about from the confines of an insane asylum. Anthologies of horror, dark fantasy, and supernatural fiction. If you haven't read any works by Paul Thomas-Ferguson, you should! Rivermont Collegiate is excited to present Dr. Ferguson, a local author from Rock Island, for an Open House and Book Signing to be held Thursday, November 18th from 6:00-8:00 p.m. on the Rivermont campus in Bettendorf.
Dr. Ferguson holds a Ph.D. in U.S., Urban, and Middle Eastern History and an M.A. in Medieval History. He is a full-time government archivist and part-time history professor at St. Ambrose University. Dr. Ferguson's works include A Life in Chiaroscuro (2008), The Ports and Portals of the Zelaznids (2009), and Dark Highlands Anthology: Volume I (2010), all available on Amazon.com. He is Submissions Editor for Dark Highlands, a creative arts company that showcases regional writers, artists, and performers.
Dr. Ferguson attended Rivermont Collegiate (formerly St. Katharine's-St. Mark's) in 1984-85 for his freshman year of high school and cites this year as the most significant of his education. Rivermont is the Quad Cities' only private, independent, nonsectarian preschool through twelfth grade college preparatory school, with a 126 year tradition of excellence! We invite you to join us for an open house in conjunction with Dr. Ferguson's book signing and explore our campus and philosophy. Cindy Murray, Director of Admissions, will be on hand to answer questions and provide tours. At Rivermont, you'll find a family-like learning environment that nurtures intellect, stimulates personal growth and character, and encourages critical thinking and creativity. Come explore what we're all about!
Rivermont Collegiate is located at 1821 Sunset Drive, directly off 18th Street behind K&K Hardware in Bettendorf. This event is free and open to the community.
