Local business leader and author Ron Autrey will sign copies of his new book, “Farnsworth’s Secret War,” at a cocktail reception to be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, March 20, at Timuquana Country Club, 4028 Timuquana Road, Jacksonville.
Proceeds from the event will benefit Operation New Uniform, a Jacksonville-headquartered nonprofit that assists veterans and military spouses in making a successful transition to civilian life.
The retired president, CEO and Chairman of Miller Electric, Autrey recently embarked on a second career as an author with the publication of “Ron’s World: All the Times I Died,” a historical memoir that recounts key moments in his life within the context of the world events happening at the time.
“Farnsworth’s Secret War” — Autrey’s first novel — is a political spy thriller that follows 10 years in the life of a fictional West Point graduate and Army intelligence officer.
Tickets for the March 20 book launch reception and signing event are $125 per person and are available on Eventbrite.com. All proceeds from the event will benefit Operation New Uniform.
