Sharon the Health Presents: 'A Physical Experience of Energy & Intention', Wed. June 26th at Florey's!

Florey's Book Co. welcomes Sharon Caren of Sharon the Health,
and guest speaker Brian Rainie, Healing Arts Instructor.

***Wednesday, June 26th, 6:45-8:30pm***

Individuals new to energy work (metaphysics) tend to struggle. It feels so vague, and the seminars, books, and videos just don't seem to help. Even those who have studied for years may have a strong appreciation for energy work, but can still it is fleeting or uncertain. The reason for this is simple. They have never been able to "anchor" it to the real world.

Following this philosophy, we offer you a physical experience of energy. You will practice several skills, in a safe environment, where the effects will be far from subtle. Your body will remember the power of each technique, and anchor it to the real world. You will walk away knowing once and for all that energy exists, it affects you, and you can direct it.

The event is free but please RSVP!

***Saturday, June 22nd, 1:00-2:30pm***

About the Book:

Cancer survivor Leticia Croft-Holguin introduces cancer to children in a palatable, accessible fashion so that they can grasp the concepts and prepare for changes that will occur as their parents undergo treatment.

At 28, Leticia Croft-Holguin was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer during her ninth month of pregnancy. She underwent eight rounds of chemo, thirty rounds of radiation, and seven surgeries. She became involved with Latinas Contra Cancer in 2010, where she established a program called Young Women and Breast Cancer.

Impossibly Glamorous follows his exploits with Goth raver lesbians, hot men, and not-so-hot men, culminating in a long-term love affair with Japan. His journey from ugly baby to Asian media personality touches on tough issues such as coming out gay in Kansas, domestic violence, substance abuse, and how to to bounce back from any kind of adversity with only a faux fur coat and a cavalier skip.

About the Author:

Charles Ayres is a translator, Japanese media personality, and writer published in Harper's Bazaar Japan, and Metropolis Tokyo. 'Impossibly Glamorous' is his first book.

"Coastside Detectives: Distant Islands" Book Event with Author Matthew F. O'Malley, Sunday, June 9th, 2-4pm!

Florey's Books welcomes local author Matthew O’Malley as he discusses his new book "Coastside Detectives:Distant Islands".

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

About the book:

In Coastside Detectives, Distant Islands, the world-weary detective Mike Mason becomes embroiled in the local politics of coastal preservation when he is called upon to explain his involvement with an environmental activist found murdered; the body of which was recovered from a local garbage dump. Joined by his partner, Joe Ballard, the two private investigators embark on a quest to find the activist’s murderer and in doing so realize things are not always what they seem; that someone who had once taken only a keen interest in Mike Mason’s life story is now becoming an active player. From prowling the waters just off the California coast, to running up against a vengeful developer, to following a fresh trail of body parts, Mike Mason uncovers answers, is left with questions, and learns that he has become a target. Full of fast-paced action and darkly comedic, Coastside Detectives: Distant Islands is sure to thrill fans of old-school detective novels in the vein of Hammett and Chandler.

About the author:

Matthew O’Malley was born and raised in San Francisco and is a current resident of the small town of Pacifica. A detective novel, film noir, and classic radio mystery buff, he is the author of several books and collections of short stories. This is the third novel in the Coastside Detectives series.

How can a dinosaur stay dirt-free in the city? Welcome to the Dino Wash Deluxe, where dinos go to get soaped, scrubbed, and spotlessly clean.
