The Camden Public Library welcomes author David Florig for a reading and discussion of his debut novel, The Stones of Ailsa Craig. This event took place at the library and on Zoom on Tuesday, December 12, 2023. The event includes readings from Florig's novel, a curling stone made from 60-million-year-old granite, and Q&A.
Have you ever wondered about the sport of curling? What is with the ice, the stone, and the broom that has captured the interest of millions of fans and found its place in the Olympics? Quiet City Books is delighted to introduce Florig’s historical fiction novel, set in present-day Belfast, Maine, and in 1880s Scotland. The novel is centered around the ancient Scottish sport of curling and features a foreword by Olympic curler Tara Peterson. Although curling provides the context, the book will appeal to fans of historical fiction and mysteries.
David Florig is a member of the Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance, as well as a member and past-president of the Pine Tree Curling Club in Portland. The Stones of Ailsa Craig is his debut novel and is an homage to Belfast, Maine; the glorious Maine coast; and the ancient Scottish sport of curling.
David lives in Ocean Park, Maine with his wife of thirty-five years, Nancy, and their ill-mannered rescue dog, Molly Malone.
