Alan Derosby, a Maine native, will talk about his latest novel,  “Death and Mr. Fould,” at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 5 at Boothbay Harbor Memorial Library.

Alan spent several years focusing on his passion: writing. He has created original spooky short stories, having “The Ghost at Old Mill’s Pub” and “Windowsill” published online and five in-print anthologies: “Going Home,” “Full Moon,” “Kunk,” “Cries” and “Under the Bed.” Six more short stories are to be published by the end of the year.

He made it to the second round of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel awards with his young historical fiction novel “Lost Souls of Purgatory.” His debut novel, “Man of Clay” was released by Spellbound Books Publishing out of the UK in November of 2021.

When not writing, Alan teaches history at Messalonskee High School in Oakland, Maine, spends time with his family, or watches the New York Mets push for a World Series run.

The Boothbay Harbor Memorial Library is at 4 Oak St. in downtown Boothbay Harbor. For more information, call 633-3112.
