LEWISTON — Suzanne R. Roy, local author of the Lewiston/Auburn-based historical novels “The Enclave” and “The Legacy,” is scheduled to present the next free USM LAC Senior College free Zoom presentation at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 7.
Roy will take the audience through an alphabetical list of some of the elements of Lewiston/Auburn’s past that were sources of inspiration to her in the writing of her books. In doing so, she hopes to pique the interest of people who are not familiar with the L/A area and stir memories in those who were born and raised here.
A retired independent compliance consultant, Roy taught English at the University of Maine at Orono from 1972 to 1974 and later taught writing as a member of the adjunct faculty of the University of Maine at Augusta.
She wrote the bilingual children’s television series “La Bonne Adventure,” in the mid-1970s did research for the former Franco-American Heritage Center, whose collection is now housed at USM’s L/A College.
Roy also taught a local history class at St. Dominic’s in 1980, and wrote several plays about Franco-Americans, two of which were produced and won awards in Australia.
Roy is a native and resident of Lewiston who is working on her third historical novel.
