Whether the art is writing, drawing and painting, or defining environments for theatre productions as a technical and artistic director, Jason lives for the ability to create. In this quest to find his father, Cavan will break those silences and more.Īuthor/Illustrator Jason Robert LeClair spends most hours of each day making art. Cavan must now fight the world that wishes to keep his Father's journal silent. Anstruther’s lost journal made Darwin’s Origin of the Species seem like Genesis chapter one. This controversial scientific find contained in Dr. Anstruther, Cavan’s father and a preeminent doctor of fairy science, discovered a truth the world left buried. For Cavan Anstruther, learning why his father disappeared ten years ago in 1908 after inadvertently beginning the Great War was an opportunity he’d rather have missed. In LeClair's Broken Silences, it is a rare opportunity for a young man turning eighteen to learn first hand the reasons behind his father’s mistakes. The month-long art exhibit featured several pieces of artwork created by LeClair as well as several prominent New England artists within the steampunk genre. Following the reading, LeClair will be signing books for attendees on Friday July 27 from 6 to 9 pm at Stage Right Studio. Woonsocket, RI - ( SBWIRE) - As Thunder & Steam: A Steampunk Art Exhibit comes to a close, join Jason Robert LeClair as he reads from his latest project, Broken Silences.

Set in and around a real place called Knockemstiff – a case of nominative determinism if ever we heard it – in the deeply rural Appalachian setting of Ohio, this story of interlocking tragic tales spans the twin nightmares of WWII to Vietnam and begins with Bill Skarsgard’s man of few words, Willard Russell.
