"Ongoing Adventures of Mike Roman" Book Event with Author Michael Romano, August 1st at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes local author Michael Romano as he discusses his new children's book, "Ongoing Adventures of Mike Roman".

***Saturday, August 1st, 1-3pm***

About the Book:

When fairy tales...and legends started, perhaps there was a basis of truth...

This is the tale of a young man who thought to himself... "I have to find out whether things like 'Second Star to the Right' really had a beginning in somewhere other than a writer's mind....

If that all those tales we've been told
throughout the years are just that ... tales ...
or are they in fact, truth, only a bit mixed up from all retelling by perhaps hundreds of years to those mixed up stories today. But maybe ... just, maybe ...they are true."

Young Mike is about to find out.

Pacifica Culture Club! Discussion Topic: #realtalk - Effects of Electronic Communication, July 29th at Florey's!

Florey's welcomes you to our culture discussion club!

***Wednesday, July 29th 7:30pm-9pm***

Join Culture Club! A monthly social discussion of social issues at a local independent bookstore in Pacifica. Get to know neighbors, express your opinions and learn more about topics that matter. Every month I encourage those attending to do some self-guided "research" whether that be watching relevant movies, attending events, reading books, articles or watching informative videos. It's all fair game, whatever you see fit, and then bring what you found/learned to the group to discuss. Wine & light bites are always offered!

The topic of discussion this month is: #realtalk - the Effects of Electronic Communication. How are modern communication technologies impacting your life? Do you obsessively check your email or social media? Are you concerned about what information is gathered about you or your family, and by whom? Is the 'always-on' nature of electronic communication a positive or negative thing? Join us and discuss these and more related topics.

"Horace the Cow" Book Event with Author Julia Carmen, July 18th at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes local author Julia Carmen as she discusses her new children's book, "Horace the Cow: Have You Ever Seen a Cow Climb a Tree?".

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

About the Book:

Have you ever seen a cow climb a tree?

No cow would climb a tree unless it was the right tree. No cow would consider climbing just any tree?

Once upon a time, there was a black cow named Horace. She was named by a young boy who loved her and so she loved her name. But because her name was Horace, she feared that no bull would ever ask her out, though admittedly she had never let any bull get to know her.

The little boy, whose name was Nakoa, visited Horace every day on his way home from school. Often when Nakoa went to sleep - and when Horace went to sleep, the two met each other in the real time of dreams. This is the way it is with friends.....


About the Author:

"If You Ask Me" Book Event with Author Anna Boothe, July 12th at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes local author Anna Boothe as she discusses her new memoir, "If You Ask Me".

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

About the Book:

From Ms. Boothe: Someone gave me a book with blank pages and, being a writer, I must fill them up with a story, my story. And now, some five years later, it is time to begin...

I don't want to write your standard autobiography, beginning with my birth and going on year by year to the here and now. But I want to record the things, the people and the moments sometimes with pictures and my poems, that mean the most to me, that I want to save and share with anyone who wants to read this.

I am not -nor do I think I will be- a famous person, so there is no ready captive audience for this. but I would like to write this in a way that makes you want to "ask me" and read on...

About the Author:

Ms. Boothe was born in Chicago and spent her childhood in Kansas City, MO. She received a Bachelor's degree in journalism, a Master's in English, and a Master's in counselling. She has also lived and taught in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. She is the founder of the Preserve Our Pier Supporters, which has generated almost $2 million in grants to repair the Pacifica Pier. She lives in Pacifica with her husband Gary, and their dog Louie.
