"Daly City: Then & Now" author event, August 6th at Florey's!

Florey's Book Co. welcomes local authors Bunny Gillespie and Dave Crimmen as they discuss their new book, "Daly City: Then & Now".

***Saturday, August 6th, 2-4pm***

About the book:

A haven for refugees after San Francisco’s devastating 1906 earthquake and fire, Daly City incorporated in 1911 with a population of 2,000. With more than 100,000 residents, it is now the largest city in San Mateo County. Adjacent to San Francisco, the Golden Gate, and San Francisco Bay, Daly City has been “The Gateway to the Peninsula” for over 150 years.

For this book, Daly City historians Bunny Gillespie and Dave Crimmen worked with the collections of the Daly City/Colma History Guild and private parties to present vintage and contemporary views of this diverse municipality.

"Pescadero Creek" author event July 16th at Florey's!

Florey's Book Co. welcomes author Victoria Williams-Fisher as she discusses her new novel, "Pescadero Creek".

***Saturday, July 16th 2-4pm***

About the book:

Pescadero Creek, near Pacifica, California is the location of a
watery grave for beautiful young women who have been raped and
strangled to death, and not necessarily in that order. When the
bodies of these young women begin surfacing in Pescadero
Creek, Special Agent Rob McAllister, the Melvin Purvis of his day,
and Dr. Morgan Warren, a young inexperienced Medical Examiner
are thrown together to bring the killer of the five–year murder spree
to justice. However, while working closely together, they fall deeply in
love and unbeknownst to them become targets of the killer
themselves.

In a town that is already laden with scandal, keeping their romance a
secret proves to be just as much of a challenge as cracking the
case. As Rob and Morgan strive to find the killer, she proves to be as
valuable to him as his lover as she is in solving the crime. Both are
faced with the inevitable, what happens to their relationship when
the case is solved?

About the author:

Victoria Williams-Fisher is a new novelist now living in Tennessee.
She was inspired to set her story in Pacifica after having lived here
for a time in the 1990s. "Pescadero Creek" is her first novel which
will soon be followed by "Undercover" and a third in the series, "Remembering".
