Two noted Vietnam veteran authors will sign their books at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15, at Warrenville VFW Post 8081, 3S371 Mignin Drive, Warrenville.

Claire Starnes is on tour, traveling here from New Hampshire to promote her book "Women Vietnam Veterans: Our Untold Stories." Joining her from Arizona will be Harlen Campbell, a writer of science fiction, mystery, and suspense novels informed by his Army experiences. His published titles include "Monkey on a Chain," "Jennifer's Weave," "Sea of Deception" and "PLENUM."

Starnes and Campbell both served in the same unit in Vietnam with former Warrenville Mayor Richard Volkmer. All three worked together on editing and publishing the 12-page weekly MACV Observer tabloid newspaper, which had an in-country circulation of 110,00 and was printed by Stars and Stripes in Tokyo.

Attendees are invited to bring their own books for author signing. Extra copies will be for sale by the authors at the signing. For information, call (630) 393-1313 or (630) 989-7041.
