The Flintridge Bookstore will host a book-signing event for author J. Schuyler Sprowles and his novel “The Young Samaritan” on Thursday, March 7, at 7 p.m.
Inspired by the Gospels, “The Young Samaritan” is his debut novel.
A Chicago native, Sprowles always dreamed of becoming a radio and TV talent as a teenager. His aspirations led him to Hollywood where he trained as a broadcaster.
He began his career as a country music DJ and news reporter in the Southwest.
Ultimately, he became a TV news anchor in Dallas.
Sprowles eventually moved back to Los Angeles where he worked as a television news correspondent.
This led to a decades-long career in crisis management, political consulting and speech writing.
Most recently, Sprowles turned to publishing, founding a family-oriented magazine in Southern California.
He currently lives in Pasadena with his wife, Maureen.
First published in the February 29 print issue of the Outlook Valley Sun.
