TIFTON- Local author Jackie K. Cooper will speak at Abraham Baldwin College on Feb. 5 at 5 p.m. in the Cordell Conference Room of the Carlton Center. Before speaking, Cooper will do a reading and book signing from 4 – 5 p.m. This event is open to the public and funded by a grant from the Georgia Humanities Council.

Cooper’s works include Journey of a Gentle Southern Man, Chances and Choices, Halfway Home, and his most recent novel, The Book Binder, published in September, 2006.
