SUMMARY:Author Event: David Florig
DESCRIPTION:The Blue Hill Public Library and Blue Hill Books are 
 cosponsoring an author talk with local author David Florig for a talk on 
 his new book Negative Peace on Thursday\, March 5 at 7PM in the library's 
 Howard Room. \n\nNegative Peace follows the journey of Joshua Sheehan\, a 
 Bucksport\, Maine native who rises from Mayor of Bucksport to President of 
 the United States. He has a plan - he wants to create a lasting world 
 peace. It might only be Negative Peace\, but it would be a start. What 
 could be any easier? Negative Peace explores themes of trust\, conviction\, 
 and two different kinds of peace. The Olympic sport of curling also plays a 
 role in the story\, and David will discuss both his book and the sport\, as 
 well as take questions. \n\nDavid S. Florig lives in Ocean Park\, Maine. He 
 is a member of the Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance\, and of the 
 Belfast Curling Club in Belfast\, Maine. He is the author of two previous 
 novels\, The Stones of Ailsa Craig and The Shattered Curling Stone. The 
 Stones of Ailsa Craig was named Best Historical Fiction of 2023 by Indies 
 Today and was a 2023 Finalist for the American Writing Awards. In 2023\, 
 Florig organized and led a group of ninety Maine authors as Maine Authors 
 for Lewiston\, who raised money to support victims and families of the 
 tragic events in Lewiston. For years\, David practiced law\, and following 
 his legal career\, he served as Executive Director of the West Philadelphia 
 Alliance for Children. David Florig can be reached at david@davidflorig.com 
 or through his website at www.davidflorig.com.\n\nThis program is free and 
 open to all. For more information\, please contact the library at 374-5515
