An author with local ties to DeKalb County, Larry Self, was in town Friday for a book signing at Justin Potter Library. Self was on tour for his newest book, “Mary A Mermaid in Reverse Book 2”, but also had his first title “Mary: a Mermaid in Reverse” and a CD of children’s songs containing the classic Eddie Raven song “The God for Kids” available to purchase. “It’s been going extremely well,” Self said.
