THE WOODLANDS, Texas - The John Cooper School is pleased to present the 11th Annual Signatures Author Series, featuring suspense novelist, Gillian Flynn, author of the runaway hit "Gone Girl," an international sensation that spent over 75 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and was made into a major motion picture.
