Author Curt Ayers will host a book-signing from noon to 1:30 p.m. Thursday in the auditorium of the Warren County-Vicksburg Public Library, 700 Veto St.

Ayers, writing as C.P. Tertius, will discuss his book, “Every Man Truly Lives Alone: A Novel of Love, Loss and Recovery,” which is centered on the story of U.S. Army Capt. Keith Miller, who survived the Vietnam War, various clandestine operations, a plane crash and being lost in the jungle.

The event will be a brown bag lunch, and those attending are encouraged to bring lunches. Drinks and dessert will be provided by the library.

Ayers is a former military officer, corporate executive and university professor who is a semiprofessional musician, blue-water sailor and adventure traveler.
