Patrick Earl Dwyer To Sign “Ascendancy” and “Butterfield Road” at LA Times Festival of Books

The Reading Glass Books is thrilled to welcome Patrick Earl Dwyer, to Booth #960 in the Black Zone at USC for a book signing at the LA Times Festival of Books on Saturday, April 18, 2026 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Dwyer, a Texas physician and lifelong storyteller, shares the saga of the Magoffin and Dwyer families in “Ascendancy” and “Butterfield Road.” Combining historical research with vivid narrative, his works chronicle the Irish diaspora, the fight against tyranny, and the trials of westward expansion, exploring courage, faith, and the pursuit of liberty.

“Ascendancy” traces the families from turbulent Ireland to America, Australia, Jamaica, and Mexico, blending action, romance, and historical events. “Butterfield Road” follows their critical roles in the Texas fight for independence and the Mexican-American War, showing how ordinary people created new lives and contributed to the nation’s expansion to the Pacific. Both novels celebrate perseverance, heritage, and the human spirit.

Whether visiting for historical insight, rich storytelling, or to meet an author who honors legacy and courage, this signing promises a memorable experience. For more information, visit Booth #960 at the Festival or contact The Reading Glass Books.
