Author signing with Judy Jones set Sept. 25

Author Judy Jones will be at Browseabout Books in Rehoboth Beach to sign copies of her recently released memoir, “A lot of World to See,” from 10 a.m. to noon, Sunday, Sept. 25.

The coming-of-age story begins when 17-year-old Jones, after winning a local beauty contest in 1958, is awarded a contract to dance as a Texas Copa Girl at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas. She meets and works with numerous stars like Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Elvis and Judy Garland, and through chance meetings, ends up traveling around the world. Written in present tense, as if it were happening now, the memoir tells a fascinating story set against – and entangled with – historical moments and people.

Jones, a longtime resident of Rehoboth Beach and Manassas, Va., has studied with literary greats such as Joyce Maynard, Frank McCourt and Matt Klam, and is an active member of the Rehoboth Beach Writers’ Guild.
