"Killer Weed" Book Event with Author Michael Castleman, Oct. 19th at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes author Michael Castleman as he discusses his new mystery novel "Killer Weed"

***Saturday, Oct. 19th, 2-4pm***

About the Book:

While run­ning for mayor of San Fran­cisco, a for­mer pot dealer and author of best-selling guides to grow­ing weed is assassi­nated. For­mer news­pa­per­man, Ed Rosen­berg is hired to find out what hap­pened to a tech billionaire’s birth mother who was a small-time mar­i­juana dealer shot to death in Golden Gate Park in an unsolved 1968 mur­der. His research about the Haight-Ashbury’s tie-dyed past illu­mi­nates that sto­ried era, and intro­duces him to a rogue’s gallery of aging hip­pies, who, he real­izes, may have been involved in the candidate’s mur­der. Then some­one starts shoot­ing at him…..Killer Weed is a fast-paced, inge­niously plot­ted novel with char­ac­ters so real you’ll want to turn on, tune in, and drop everything to reach the sur­pris­ing, deeply sat­is­fy­ing con­clu­sion.

About the Author:

Michael Castleman grew up in Lynbrook, a Long Island suburb of New York City. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa for the University of Michigan with a degree in English, and earned a Masters in journalism from UC Berkeley. He has lived in San Francisco since 1975.

"Vision for Life" Book Event and Workshop with Author Meir Schneider, Oct.5th at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes author Meir Schneider as he discusses his book and vision improvement program "Vision for Life: Ten Steps to Natural Eyesight Improvement"

***Saturday, October 5th, 2-4pm***

About the Book:

In Vision for Life, natural health pioneer Meir Schneider shares ten essential principles of healthy vision discovered in his forty-year personal and professional journey. Born almost blind, Schneider taught himself to see and developed an innovative program of healing and recovery that has helped thousands of people regain and improve their health.

Vision for Life is packed with exercises for a natural eye health routine, which you can immediately incorporate into your life, and includes a set of eye chart posters to use together with the book. This program is not only strengthening but also restorative and deeply relaxing. You will learn how to reverse developing issues before they cause damage and how to remedy existing problems including near- and far-sightedness and lazy eye as well as cataracts, glaucoma, optic neuritis, detached retinas and tears, macular degeneration, and retinitis pigmentosa. Vision for Life is not only for people who see poorly and would like to improve their vision, but also for those with 20/20 vision who wish to maintain their perfect eyesight as they grow older.

About the Author:

Born blind to deaf parents, Schneider underwent a series of painful operations as a young child and was left with ninety-nine percent scar tissue on his eyes, resulting in his being declared incurably blind. At the age of seventeen, he discovered how to improve his vision from one percent to fifty-five percent of normal vision with the eye exercises presented in this book. Today Schneider drives a car, reads, and proves time and again that vision can and does improve with exercise. His contributions to the field of self-healing are recognized by alternative health practitioners and medical doctors alike. In 1980 Schneider founded the School for Self-Healing, a nonprofit center in San Francisco that offers educational programs through which people can improve their vision as well as other physical handicaps.

"That is the Question" Shakespeare Boardgame Event with Game Designer John Ahlbach, Tuesday Sept. 24th, 7pm!

Florey's Books welcomes local game creator John Ahlbach, and we invite you to join in and play his board game: "That is the Question: A Game of Shakespeare Knowledge".

***Tuesday, September 24th, 7pm***

About the game:

'That is the Question' is a fun journey through all things Shakespeare.

The game's 500 questions come with a multiple-choice option that players with less experience can use to level the playing field against those with more expertise. The questions cover the plots, language and characters of major and minor plays. They cover Shakespeare on stage and in film in our own time.

Knowledge and educated guessing do not always win in That is the Question. Luck must be with you, too, as you must land on the right spaces to win the two of each type of Character Card needed for victory.

So, when Juliet asks, "What satisfaction canst thou have tonight?", the answer is, play That is the Question with your friends or family!

About the author/creator:

John Ahlbach is a teacher at Archbishop Riordan High School in San Francisco. He wrote the 500 questions used in That is the Question: A Game of Shakespeare Knowledge. The game board and cards were designed by Mona Toft, a graphic artist in St. Paul , MN. Much of the profits from this game will go to Friends: The National Association of Young People Who Stutter, of which John is a co-founder.

About Ms. Nelson:

Kathleen Nelson is a California native. A classical pianist performing since age 6, she developed her introspective songwriting style in her thirties. After her European debut in Vienna, Austria in the 90s, she suffered a series of personal and financial losses and decided to quit performing music for good. She went to work as a legal assistant in Silicon Valley for a decade. Although she continued to teach music, it was years before she found the strength to perform again. Through small, practical steps, she found her way back to music and her joy in life is to encourage others to find their joy.

"Hold Fast: Tom Crean" Book Event with Author David Hirzel - Saturday, August 17th at Florey's!

Florey's Book Co. welcomes local author David Hirzel as he discusses his new book, "Hold Fast: Tom Crean with Shackleton's Endurance 1913-1916"

***Saturday, August 17th, 2-4pm***

From the author:

It gives me great pleasure to announce the official launch of my new book Hold Fast: Tom Crean with Shackleton's Endurance 1913-1916, at Florey's Books in Pacifica. Many of you will be familiar with my earlier book Sailor on Ice about this steadfast Irishman's adventures in the Antarctic with Robert Scott's assault on the South Pole in 1910.
In the days before radio communication, the explorers of the icy southern continent were on their own. When disaster strikes, you want a man like Crean in your team. When Shackleton set out to cross the Antarctic continent in 1914, he had with him this most durable and dependable men, a common man in uncommon circumstances, the one who pulled through no matter how daunting the odds.

My new book, Hold Fast continues Crean's story, into the far southern reaches of the sea, where the assault of the moving pack ice sank the ship and doomed the expedition. Unable to make shore, the men lived on the ice until it disintegrated. They made it to the shore of a deserted island, but someone would have to go for help. It meant an open-boat journey over 800 miles of the stormiest seas on earth, and a daring crossing through the high trackless wastes of a frozen island. The men to do it would have to face the deadliest dangers of their lives, and not flinch. Tom Crean was one of those men.
Hold Fast is a work of narrative nonfiction based on published and unpublished sources, and interviews with Crean's family, tells the story as seen through Crean's eyes and sharing his experiences as they unfold.

"That is the Question" Shakespeare Boardgame Event with Game Designer John Ahlbach, Tuesday August 13th, 7pm!

Florey's Books welcomes local game creator John Ahlbach, and we invite you to join in and play his board game: "That is the Question: A Game of Shakespeare Knowledge".

***Tuesday, August 13th, 7pm***

About the game:

'That is the Question' is a fun journey through all things Shakespeare.

The game's 500 questions come with a multiple-choice option that players with less experience can use to level the playing field against those with more expertise. The questions cover the plots, language and characters of major and minor plays. They cover Shakespeare on stage and in film in our own time.

Knowledge and educated guessing do not always win in That is the Question. Luck must be with you, too, as you must land on the right spaces to win the two of each type of Character Card needed for victory.

So, when Juliet asks, "What satisfaction canst thou have tonight?", the answer is, play That is the Question with your friends or family!

About the author/creator:

John Ahlbach is a teacher at Archbishop Riordan High School in San Francisco. He wrote the 500 questions used in That is the Question: A Game of Shakespeare Knowledge. The game board and cards were designed by Mona Toft, a graphic artist in St. Paul , MN. Much of the profits from this game will go to Friends: The National Association of Young People Who Stutter, of which John is a co-founder.

"The Captain and Mr. Shrode" Book Event with Author Tony Johnson, Saturday August 10th, 2-4pm!

Florey's Books welcomes author Tony Johnson as he discusses his book
"The Captain and Mr. Shrode".

***Saturday, August 10th, 2:00-4:00pm***

About the Book and Author:

During their two-and-a-half-year circumnavigation aboard the sloop Maverick, Tony Johnson and Terry Shrode survived a number of harrowing engagements with the forces of nature. In Tahiti, a midnight gale caused Maverick to fetch up on a dangerous coral reef. In Indonesia, faulty navigational charts, heavy winds and high seas led the crew to run the boat aground. And thirty miles from a safe landfall after a twenty-one day Atlantic crossing, water in the bilge triggered the discovery that the hull had begun to tear itself apart. Only a heroic effort by the skipper and first mate kept them from sinking within sight of land.

Along with tales of adventure, the Captain's chronicle contains accounts of natural wonders including orangutans in the wild, observed on a dreamlike jungle excursion up the Kumai River in Borneo, and the nighttime Arabian Sea glowing ghostly white from horizon to horizon, the result of a rare bloom of phosphorescent plankton.

Woven through the journal are revealing and sometimes surreal encounters with a host of fascinating characters including native guides, fellow cruisers, and would-be pirates. These cross-cultural experiences assume added poignancy in the period following the World Trade Center attack, when, despite the warnings of family and friends, Tony and Terry decide to carry on with their voyage through the heart of the Islamic world and fly the American flag.

Sections on Odysseus, Drake, Columbus, Plato, Socrates, bullfighting in Spain, Mediterranean geology, and Junior Walker and the All-Stars ensure that the book will satisfy the reader's wanderlust for cultural and intellectual, as well as nautical, adventure.

"Martyr of the Amazon" Book Event with Author Roseanne Murphy, Saturday July 27th, 2-4pm!

Florey's Book welcomes author Roseanne Murphy as she discusses her book "Martyr of the Amazon: The Life of Sister Dorothy Stang"
Sr. Murphy's colleagues Cheryl Joseph and Jim McGarry will also be guests.


***Saturday, July 27th 2:00-4:00pm***

About the Book:

The murder in 2005 of an American nun, Sister Dorothy Stang, focused the worlds attention on the plight of poor farmers in the Brazilian Amazon and their struggles against rapacious developers. Sister Dorothy had worked in Brazil for forty years. From a conventional nun in the pre-Vatican II era, she had developed a keen social conscience and, increasingly, a deep, mystical commitment to the integrity of Creation. These ideals combined in her advocacy for the rights of the poor and her defense of the imperiled rain forest. They also earned her the enmity of land-grabbing ranchers who repeatedly threatened her. ""All I ask,"" she wrote, ""is Gods grace to help me keep on this journey, fighting for the people to have a more egalitarian life and that we learn to respect Gods creation.""

About the Author:

Sister Roseanne Murphy attended Stanford University, Notre Dame University, and St. Joseph’s School of Nursing. She entered the convent, and went on to teach biology, general science, religion and English at her alma mater, Notre Dame High School, Belmont. Later she found her “true teaching home” at the College of Notre Dame (now Notre Dame de Namur University) where she remains to this day. Sr. Roseanne enjoyed teaching college students and serving as chair for the Behavioral Science Department for 37 years! She combined her classroom teaching with experiences in the community that included field trips to San Quentin and Agnews State Mental Hospital. Twice she won a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship and she was the first woman to teach at St. Patrick’s Seminary in Menlo Park.

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.

***Saturday, June 15th, 2-4pm***

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.

"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. The Dino Wash handles it all: scales, spikes, wings, even frills and horns. BUT WAIT! There's a new customer in town: a T. rex with sharp teeth, long claws, and a mighty mean personality. What will happen when T. rex shows up? Filled with dinosaur facts and fun, this hilarious picture book reminds children that tough guys might not be as scary as they seem.

"The Dragons of Graham" Book Signing with author Baird Nuckolls, May 11th at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes local author Baird Nuckolls as she discusses her new young-adult novel "The Dragons of Graham".

***Saturday, May 11th, 2-4pm***

About the book:

Who knew dragons were so demanding? All the dragons at Graham want something. The band dragon is hoarding silver. The dragon in the girls' locker room wants more water, and the library dragon wants his own library card. One even wants her sister, Rosie, as a snack. Blech!

Katie has to learn how to navigate the halls of her new middle school, deal with the populars, and try not to lose her best friend, Maia, all while figuring out how to satisfy the members of a mythical race she didn't even know existed.

Both of Baird Nuckolls' daughters attended Graham Middle School and the story of the dragons of Graham developed during their time there. She is happy to have brought them to the attention of more kids, who may have a chance to find them.

About the author:

Baird is an author and literary editor. Her first middle grade novel, "The Dragons of Graham" was released in March,. Her short stories have been published on-line and in print. She has been an assistant editor at Narrative Magazine for over three years and also provides contract editing for individual clients across the country.​​​​​​​​​​ She lives in the Bay Area.
