New sci-fi book signing at the Columns

Posted

MILFORD, PA — The Columns Museum, located at 608 Broad St., will host a book signing and reception for local author Lillian Longendorfer on Saturday, September 19 at 4 p.m. There will be refreshments and a meet-and-greet with Longendorfer.

Her new book, “The Quad Consortium and the Sword of Bale,” published by Page Publishing, is an adventurous journey that follows a young man on his quest to discover his true path in life. Longendorfer said, “It is a story that takes place in an imaginary solar system at the outer edge of the Milky Way. It is about a man trying to forget his past, but who, when his world and friends are threatened by his nemesis, finds the courage to face his past and try to save the solar system and his friends.”

Milford has a unique link to science fiction. Renowned science fiction authors including James Blish and Damon Knight spent much time there, and with the help of Virginia Kidd, author and literary agent, conceived what is known as “The Milford Method” of critiquing manuscripts-still used today.
