"Growing Up in San Francisco's Western Neighborhoods" Event with Author Frank Dunnigan, Dec. 16th at Florey's!



!!! LAST MINUTE ADDITION !!!

Florey's Books welcomes author Frank Dunnigan, as he discusses his new book "Growing Up in San Francisco's Western Neighborhoods: Boomer Memories from Kezar Stadium to Zim's Hamburgers"

***Tuesday, December 16th, 5-7pm***

About the Book:

From football games at Kezar Stadium to a perfectly broiled Zim burger, San Franciscans have fond memories of the decades after World War II. Dressing up for a movie at the Fox Theatre on Market Street, catching the train at the old S.P. Station on Third and Townsend, taking the streetcar downtown to see magnificent displays in the Emporium's windows or spending a day at Golden Gate Park, the "outside lands" of San Francisco were teeming with youngsters and the young-at-heart alike. Western Neighborhoods Project columnist and San Francisco native Frank Dunnigan offers a charming collection of nostalgic vignettes about the thriving Western communities of unforgettable people and places that defined generations.

About the Author:

Frank Dunnigan was born in San Francisco during the baby boom years of the 1950s to a family that first settled there in 1860. His education began in Kindergarten at Parkside School before moving on to St. Cecilia's and then to St. Ignatius College Prep and the University of San Francisco. He worked as a bank auditor and as a retail training manager before joining the federal government in the 1990s. His monthly history column STREETWISE has been published by the Western Neighborhoods Project ( www.outsidelands.org ) since January 2009, and he has contributed both text and photo content to several local history books published by other authors.

"The Devil's Glove" Book Event with Author "Cousin Vinny" Agnello, Nov. 28th & 29th at Florey's!



Florey's Books welcomes Florida-based author Louis "Cousin Vinny" Agnello, as he discusses his new book "The Devil's Glove".

***Friday & Saturday, November 28th & 29th, 10am-6pm***

(This will be an informal all-day meet & greet)

About the Book:

Dispirited by years of disappointment, minor league baseball player Billy Green summons a mysterious stranger who promises to help him cheat his way on to the big stage of major league baseball if he lives up to the terms of a nefarious agreement. At first, Green complies but later reneges, creating the catalyst that propels the action forward in this modern-day morality tale that pits God versus Satan in a battle over the soul of an innocent boy who stumbles across Green's cursed baseball glove. A timeless tale that will renew your faith in God and human nature.

About the Author:

A 1992 graduate of Western Connecticut State University, Louis “Cousin Vinny” Agnello Jr. is the heir of his late father’s writing dream, though the path to achieving that goal was circuitous. He spent one year studying coaching at Southern Connecticut State University before becoming a pioneer of the lucrative male exotic dancing fad that swept the nation in the early 1980′s. Later he would become the outspoken and controversial “Stripper King of New York.”

Death of the Hired Man

Two Tramps in Mud Time

Some of the topics we’ll touch on are the use of dialogue in poetry, Frost’s supposed preference for everyday language, and blank verse (meter without rhyme).”

"Emporium Department Store" Book Event with Author Anne Evers Hitz, November 9th at Florey's!



Florey's Books welcomes local author Anne Evers Hitz as she discusses her new book "Emporium Department Store".

***Sunday, November 9th, 2-4pm***

About the Book:

The Emporium—“California’s Largest, America’s Grandest Store”—was a major shopping destination on San Francisco’s Market Street for a century, from 1896 to 1996. Shoppers flocked to the mid-price store with its beautiful dome and bandstand. Patrons could find anything at the Emporium, from jewelry to stoves, and it was a meeting place for friends to enjoy tea while listening to the Emporium Orchestra. Founded as the Emporium and Golden Rule Bazaar, the store flourished until the disastrous 1906 earthquake. Once it reopened in 1908, it dominated shopping downtown until mid-century. Many San Franciscans remember with great nostalgia the Christmas Carnival on the roof, complete with slides, a skating rink, and a train. Santa always arrived in grand style with a big parade down Market Street. After World War II, the Emporium, which had merged with H.C. Capwell & Co. in the late 1920s, began its push and opened branch stores throughout the San Francisco Bay area. However, as competition increased, the company’s financial situation worsened, and the Emporium name was no more in 1996.

About the Author:

Author and freelance writer Anne Evers Hitz, a descendant of one of the Emporium’s founders, has gathered together images from libraries and private collections to tell the Emporium story.

October 2014 Poetry at Florey's!



Florey's Books invites you to our ongoing poetry event.

***Saturday, October 25th, 7:30-9:30pm***

From Sherri:

The time has almost arrived for our last poetry reading for this season at Florey's (we resume in January 2015). I want to invite you to join us for what is usually an exceptionally lively and enjoyable evening. Our two featured poets, Terri Glass and Claire Blotter, will share their artistry with us; their styles nicely complement and enhance one another, and will take us to some interesting places. As always, we invite you to read your own poetry, or a favorite poet's, at open mic; you can also come to lend your ear to others. Poetry does not live and breathe without an audience. Bring a snack or beverage to share, if you can; there are rumors that the famous castle cake will be on the table!

There are two unusual elements for this evening. The first is what I detailed for you in the earlier announcement. We will have more than three dozen framed works of art displayed in the store for your perusal. They will be nominally priced, and if you choose to purchase one, your contribution will be added to others, and sent to Bill Burruss, former owner of Know Knew Books in Los Altos. Bill has long been a friend to literature, poetry and all the arts, as well as to Bob and me during the two years we hosted a poetry series at Know Knew. The loss of his store to an unscrupulous business partner meant the loss of his livelihood, and he and his wife have been forced to leave the area. If you don't want to buy a piece of art, you can make a contribution of any size, and will be part of the message that others care about what has happened to him.

One note about the art: these works are not in pristine condition, though some are quite fine. They are pre-loved; some of them, very well indeed! Bob and I have cleaned them up completely so they will put their best faces forward, and we hope you will come a little early to take a look. The collection is a very interesting one, and perhaps you will find something that resonates for you!

As well, I wanted to let you know that copies of my friend, Anne Benvenuti's book, Spirit Unleashed: Reimagining Human-Animal Relations (containing my poem "Wild Healing") will be available for purchase. The book has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, and is a timely and thought-provoking work. If you don't know about it, I invite you to take a look.

I appreciate your patience with all this, and hope to see you on Saturday!

"Cancer: My Teacher, My Healer" Book Event with Author Manuela Sherman, October 18th at Florey's!



Florey's Books welcomes Pacifica author Manuela Sherman as she discusses her new book "Cancer: My Teacher, My Healer".

***Saturday, October 18th, 2-4pm***

About the Book:

Manuela Sherman shifts a breast cancer d1agnosis into a healing journey. In "CANCER: My Teacher, My Healer", she sh0ws us how healing an illness is directly related to uncovering the cause of that illness. Using her own biography and Recall Healing, Manuela describes all the elements she used to heal her cancer. Through this process her cancer became the most profound teacher of her life as she transformed a life-threatening illness into a deeply spiritual experience. Manuela Sherman discovered how to heal herself--and these secrets she shares with you in "CANCER: My Teacher, My Healer".

About the Author:

Manuela Sherman was born in Madrid, Spain in 1949. She was born with a he@rt defect which impacted her health throughout her life thus she was no stranger to illness. But when she was diagnosed with cancer at age 61 in 2011, she began to discover a process of healing that was previously unimaginable. Not only did she learn how to heal herself, she learned the secret to the true nature of the healing process which she shares in this book. "CANCER: My Teacher, My Healer" is her first book.

"Rough Weather All Day" Book Event with Author David Hirzel, September 20th at Florey's!



Florey's Books welcomes Pacifica author David Hirzel as he discusses his new book "Rough Weather All Day: an Account of the Jeannette Search Expedition by Patrick Cahill".

***Saturday, September 20th, 3-5pm***

From David:

I'd like to announce the release of my new book, Rough Weather All Day: an Account of the Jeannette Search Expedition by Patrick Cahill. It's a true story, told in the words of one who survived shipwreck on the forbidding shores of Siberia in 1881, a previously unknown journal of daily events during the course of Arctic exploration. You'll find discovery of new land, shipwreck on the barren shores of Siberia, life with the native Tchoutkichi (Inuit) people who took in the shipwrecked and destitute sailors for the winter of 1881-1882. They all came very near to starvation. Cahill's account of the burning of the Rodgers is stirring indeed, his tales of life with the native people—a culture shock to both sides of the arrangement—is full of fascinating details of a way of life now long gone.

Edited, with introduction, maps, archival photographs, and supplementary material by David Hirzel.

"Alexander Archipelago" Book Event with Author Gustav Tjgaard, July 12th at Florey's!



Florey's Books welcomes Pacifica author Gustav Tjgaard as he discusses his new book "Alexander Archipelago: A Dozen Rain Forest Stories in Twelve Non-sequential Acts".

***Saturday, July 12th, 2-4pm***

About the Book:

This eclectic series of twelve stories based on some of the life experiences of Gustav Tjgaard runs the gamut. The nonfiction narrative presents dramatizations set in the lush ambiance and grandeur of earth's largest temperate rain forest. The book is a picture album of life in Alaska's Tongass National Forest. These adventures and perilous undertakings occur in a forest of big trees, big birds, big fish, and big bears, where immense peaks are wrapped in great glaciers that break off into bays and fjords where big whales spout. The peaks are capped by perennial snows that form the highest coastal mountain range in the world, rising abruptly from salty coves to blue ice and black crags. Surely this is landscape to swell the soul and humble the ego

About the Author:

Gustav Tjgaard spent 25 years in Alaska's Alexander Archipelago. Now in his eighties, he views the sailor as a legitimate folk hero. Originally from Decatur Island, Washington, he currently lives in Pacifica, California. This is his third published book.

"A Shout-Out for Dyslexics" Book Event with Author Gina Mazzetti, June 22nd at Florey's!



Florey's Books welcomes local author Gina Mazzetti as she discusses her new book: "A Shout-Out for Dyslexics: The Emotional Side".

***Sunday, June 22nd, 2-4pm***

About the Book:

Dyslexia has affected many generations of Gina's family. After analyzing the experiences and learning patterns of her grandmother and several other family members, Gina has discovered ways to survive this disability. This book looks at the symptoms, behaviors, and effects of dyslexia and is handy for those experiencing this disability. However, it is also most helpful for anyone who parents, teaches, or is in a relationship with a dyslexic. With this work, Gina hopes to motivate and enlighten readers about this disability. Gina's stories give the reader insight into how dyslexics feel as they face their many challenges and as they struggle to love and accept themselves. The book unpacks the emotional trauma faced by dyslexics and provides suggestions for ways they can achieve and excel in their lives. Gina urges dyslexics to release their negative energy, let go of the limits they once felt, and create a life of fulfillment and success.

About the Author:

Gina Mazzetti was born in San Francisco, California, where she attended Mercy High School San Francisco and graduated as one of the salutatorians of her class. She is now in the process of receiving her bachelor's degree in communication studies at San Francisco State University. Gina has channeled all of her worst dyslexic moments into great triumphs as she is now a motivational speaker and a certified professional life coach. She currently speaks to parents, teachers, and students about her experiences living with dyslexia. She is an advocate for all people who struggle with the disability. She challenges dyslexics as well as nondyslexics to acknowledge their worth, set free the person they have always wanted to become, discover their purpose, and follow through on it. She is passionate about helping others to break the limits that have been placed on them and to stop the cycles of insecurity, victimization, and self-deprecation. Gina is known for her motivational skills, wise soul, outgoing personality, and strong work ethic. She strives to inspire dyslexics to face, manage, and embrace their dyslexia. She aims to make people aware of how dyslexia affects a person's entire life, rather than just his or her academic career. She currently resides in Northern California and continues to speak on dyslexia.

"Chewed Confessions" Book Event with Author Cheryl Kirwan, June 7th, at Florey's!



Florey's Books welcomes author Cheryl Kirwan as she discusses her new story collection "Chewed Confessions".

***Saturday, June 7th, 2-4pm***

About the book:

Chewed Confessions, is a series of thought-provoking linked short stories, using this inventive supposition to share a variety of human experiences, as related by the animated stick of gum that traveled with each person on a given day. From this intimate vantage, these humorous, heartfelt stories together explore a broad spectrum of everyday life, from affairs of the heart to matters of conscience. With rich insight and reflection, this original work of literature reveals the daily struggles we all face with doing the right thing. In this series of nine diverse short stories, each unique gum narrates the thoughts and actions of the characters once it enters his or her mouth. Each gum has its own flavor, and its own insightful understanding of the journey they are taking.

About the author:

Kirwan is a business woman inspired to write Chewed Confessions by a storytelling game she created which follows the travels of discarded gum. Years later, while on a business trip in Manhattan, she noticed an amazing amount of discarded gum on the sidewalks and thought it would be interesting if each one of those pieces of gum could share the adventure they spent with their human host,and — Chewed Confessions was born.
