Maine Author Visit: David FlorigTuesday, October 1 at 6:00pm
DAVID S. FLORIG lives in Ocean Park, Maine. Florig is a member of the Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance, a member and past-president of the Pine Tree Curling Club in Portland, and a member of the Belfast Curling Club in Maine. His debut novel, The Stones of Ailsa Craig, is an homage to Belfast, Maine; the glorious Maine coast; and the ancient Scottish sport of curling.
Florig’s new novel, The Shattered Curling Stone, is a work of historical fiction, centered around young Ailsa Maclaren, who takes up curling at a time when women were neither encouraged, nor often permitted, to play the game. Set in late-1800s Scotland, it tells Ailsa’s story as she journeys from novice, to the Scottish Women’s Championship, and the World Championship. The Shattered Curling Stone is steeped in the history of women’s curling, both real and fictional. Along the way, Ailsa meets the very handsome and charming Lucas Plotcok, and therein lies the tale.
