Acclaimed author Anne Keene will be the featured speaker at Arkansas State University-Mountain Home’s Terre Ware Author Lecture Series on Oct. 14.
The free event begins at 7 in the Vada Sheid Community Development Center and is open to the public. Books will be available for purchase.
Keene is the author of The Cloudbuster Nine: The Untold Story of Ted Williams and the Baseball Team That Helped Win WWII, a best-selling account of a little-known Navy training program where her father served as batboy for a squad of major league players, including Williams, preparing to become fighter pilots.
Her work has appeared in The New York Times, HISTORY, and Navy Times, and she has been featured on C-SPAN, PBS, and at venues including the National Baseball Hall of Fame and the National World War II Museum. She also contributes to FOX Nation’s “Field of Valor” series, highlighting athletes who served in the military.
Keene, a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s School of Journalism, often speaks at universities and U.S. Naval Academy chapters on the service of athletes from the World War II era.
