Author Frank Fiordalisi to Speak at Library

Frank Fiordalisi will read from and discuss his novel Ichabod Wolfe, a page-turner filled with surprise and a deep understanding of the human condition, on Sunday, November 18, 2018, at the Alachua County Library Headquarters.

Ichabod Wolfe, a thirteen year old boy, is orphaned when his parents and siblings are murdered in the months preceding the War Between the States. While trying to avenge the death of his family, Ichabod makes powerful enemies that vow to kill him. He journeys to a remote town on the Colorado frontier, where he is mentored by the town’s sheriff and becomes a deputy.

Matured and at the top of his craft, Ichabod becomes the Chief Deputy Sheriff of Iron Horse, a Wyoming cow town. Long a bachelor, he falls in love with a green-eyed beauty married to another man. His longing for the love of his life and his thirst for justice, mixed with romance, humor and murder, lead him into the modern era of law enforcement.

Fiordalisi was born in NYC and received a B.S. from St. John’s University. After teaching high school and a brief stint as a retail pharmacist, he moved to Miami, Florida, where he joined the Miami-Dade County Police Department. He participated in a number of assignments, retiring as a Detective Sergeant after twenty-nine years of service. He has a daughter Jacqueline, and a son, Francis. He currently lives with his wife, Christine, in Gainesville, Florida.
