Book Signing Set for Oakton Professor

Curtis Webley, a part-time faculty member at Oakton Community College, will sign copies of his first novel, Surviving in America, 2 - 3 p.m., April 17, at the Evanston Public Library, 1703 Orrington Ave., Evanston.

Surviving in America traces the lives of two Jamaican immigrants, Amin and Ragweed, whose paths differ greatly as they adjust to life in the United States. Sensible and dependable, Amin is the epitome of hard work; Ragweed, however, turns to a life of crime.

Webley, an adjunct professor of accounting, immigrated to America from Jamaica in 1975. He earned a BS in accounting from Roosevelt University in 1981, his CPA from the University of Illinois in 1992, and his MS in taxation from Washington School of Law in 1995.

Surviving in America is available through Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and www.llumina.com. For more information, contact Webley at cwebley@earthlink.net.
