Addison Crissone – Book Signing – See Video Here

This event was unfortunately snowed out, however, we do have a video interview with Addison about her books here.

An amazing up-and-coming local author’s book signing at the House of Flags Museum. Crissone’s stories are set in WWII-occupied Belgium and are based on actual historical events with fictional characters. She is a wonderful storyteller, weaving facts and fiction seamlessly in her “The Yellow Badge” and “After the Badge” books.

The House of Flags Museum will be displaying WWII era flags from Belgium, USA, and the 3rd Reich.
