"Not If I See You First" Book Event with Author Eric Lindstrom, January 23rd at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes Pacifica author Eric Lindstrom as he discusses his new book, "Not If I See You First".

***Saturday, January 23rd, 2pm-4pm***

About the Book:

The Rules:

Don't deceive me. Ever. Especially using my blindness. Especially in public.

Don't help me unless I ask. Otherwise you're just getting in my way or bothering me.

Don't be weird. Seriously, other than having my eyes closed all the time, I'm just like you only smarter.

Parker Grant doesn't need 20/20 vision to see right through you. That's why she created the Rules: Don't treat her any differently just because she's blind, and never take advantage. There will be no second chances. Just ask Scott Kilpatrick, the boy who broke her heart.

When Scott suddenly reappears in her life after being gone for years, Parker knows there's only one way to react-shun him so hard it hurts. She has enough on her mind already, like trying out for the track team (that's right, her eyes don't work but her legs still do), doling out tough-love advice to her painfully naive classmates, and giving herself gold stars for every day she hasn't cried since her dad's death three months ago. But avoiding her past quickly proves impossible, and the more Parker learns about what really happened--both with Scott, and her dad--the more she starts to question if things are always as they seem. Maybe, just maybe, some Rules are meant to be broken.

About the Author:

Eric Lindstrom is a BAFTA and WGA-nominated veteran of the interactive entertainment industry. 'Not If I See You First' is his debut novel. He has also raised children, which led to becoming first a school volunteer, then a substitute teacher, then a part time kindergarten teacher, then getting a credential to teach elementary school, and most importantly the discovery that Young Adult books are awesome. It’s pretty much all he ever reads, and now writes, in his house near the beach on the west coast, with his wife and, yes, cats.

Eric invites you to find him online at ericlindstrombooks.com and on Twitter @Eric_Lindstrom.

Two-Book Event with Author Michael Romano, January 16th at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes local author Michael Romano as he discusses his new books, "The Doorway and My Family Tree" & "Hocking the Sticks".

***Saturday, January 16th, 12:30-2pm***

About the Books:

First, a young-adult novel, "The Doorway and My Family Tree".

Two amazing tales that cross time and space, and prove that anything ... and anywhere ... are possible!

Next, a memoir, "Hocking the Sticks".

The unbelievably true story of one man's life in the "Iron Sale Business." Scam artists, collection agents, drug dealers and business practices so slippery, you had to hold on both hands! In other words ... the time of his life!
