Book Discussion & Signing with Leah Cooper and Elaine A. Clark
Join The Conundrum Bookshop for an evening of conversation with authors Leah Ades Cooper and Elaine A. Clarkas they discuss their recently published nonfiction books. The discussion will be moderated by Mark Couhig and followed by a book signing.
Elaine A. Clark will share Speak to Achieve: How to Build Connection, Deepen Trust, Captivate Audiences, and Achieve Results, which draws from her decades of experience in voice, communication, acting, teaching, and coaching. The book explores how speakers can strengthen their communication skills, connect with audiences, develop their personal style, and communicate with greater confidence and impact.
Leah Ades Cooper will discuss Recollections of a Life Well-Lived, created with her father, LeRoy Perry Ades. Part biography and part autobiography, the book brings together his stories and memories of a life that included deep Louisiana connections. Cooper and Clark are sisters, adding a special family connection to the evening and to the stories behind both books.
Guests are invited to enjoy the discussion, meet the authors, and have books signed during this relaxed literary evening in downtown St. Francisville.
