'Walking the World 2' Book Event with Author Terrence Kero, Oct.22nd at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes Pacifica author Terrence Kero as he discusses his novel, "Walking the World 2"

***Saturday, October 22nd, 2-4pm***

About the book:

Walking the World 2, Book Two of Terrence Kero’s ground-breaking trilogy about human migration, tells the story of how five ethnic/linguistic hunter-gatherer clans left Africa some eighty thousand years ago and migrated to the western border of Thailand over the course of many millennia. The novel opens in 2011 at the University of California Berkeley, where Hanna Koskinen is an anthropology graduate student planning to write her PhD thesis on early human migration. When she becomes friends with Leewan Somwan, her next-door neighbor from Thailand, she begins to consider making Thailand the focus of her research, and when she falls in love with Leewan’s brother, Chaat, her decision is sealed. Chaat is a brilliant linguist who has developed a theory about the earliest prototypes of the five major Southeast Asian language families, and Hanna thinks she can use his theory, along with human population genetics and age-dated archaeological discoveries, to support the bold argument she wants to make in her thesis: that Thailand was the initial gateway for the first migration of homo sapiens to Southeast Asia. Stories imagining the tragedies and joys of these prehistoric people on their arduous journeys are interspersed with the present-day narrative of the tragedies and joys of the Koskinen and Somwan families, a narrative culminating in dramatic revelations about the early ancestry of the Somwans and the unexpected links that bond humankind.

About the Author:

Terrence Kero is an electronic engineer turned author. Over his career, he has traveled to eighty-eight countries worldwide, and has served as general chairman of four international telecommunications conferences involving participants from more than forty countries in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Since he first went to Thailand more than two decades ago, he has visited fifty of its seventy-seven provinces. He has been a guest lecturer at several universities in Asia, including Beijing University (Speech Recognition Technology) and Thailand’s Thammasat University (Anthropology Department) and Mahidol University (Research Institute for Languages and Cultures of Asia). On the basis of his experiences with people all over Thailand, he has concluded that it is truly the Land of Smiles. He currently lives in Pacifica, a suburb of San Francisco, with his wife, Takoma.

'A Decade in the Life of Dr. Zorro' book event with author PJ Killeen, Oct. 1st at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes author PJ Killeen as he discusses his memoir, "A Decade in the Life of Dr.Zorro: A Seventies Saga"

***Saturday, October 1st, 7:30pm***

About the book:

For over 30 years, my patient wife has been a captive audience as I relentlessly brought up my past adventures and misdeeds under the pretense and alias of “Dr. Zorro.” For all those years, she pleaded with me to chronicle my stories—if not for posterity, then at least to leave a dubious legacy for our grandchildren and anyone else who may take a passing interest.

About the Author:

As my dear wife pointed out, this endeavor would be an excellent exercise to stimulate my memory. Several years ago, I was blindsided by an ocular stroke, which not only affected my vision but meddled with my memory as well. I saw the wisdom in my wife’s advice. In these pages, I have written down the events that comprised the decade of decadence and spiritual awakening (1970 to 1980). Keep in mind that this is not a fictional account. The truth is my anchor in my sea of stories. I have altered names to protect the innocent (and not so innocent), but the facts remain intact.

Find out how this Ancient, Natural Health application has prospered through the Ages. Back in Egypt and in Biblical times, there were no pharmacies.

'Method to the Madness' book event with authors B.H. & Elizabeth James, Sept. 3rd at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes authors B.H. James and Elizabeth James as they discusses their new book, "Method to the Madness: A Common Core Guide to Creating Critical Thinkers Through the Study of Literature".

***Saturday, September 3rd, 2:00-4:00pm***

About the Book:

This book is ideal for the thousands of teachers who entered the profession in the last ten years and taught prescribed curriculum geared toward end of year bubble testing. Its intent is to empower districts and their teachers to create their own (free!) curriculum that will exceed the expectations of Common Core assessments, as well as create life-long learners that are college and career ready. By employing inquiry based units of study that insist on the use of iconic literature at the center, students will be more prepared for what awaits them with Common Core exams.

About the Authors:

B.H. James is the author of Parnucklian for Chocolate, a finalist for the 2014 PEN Center USA Literary Award in Fiction. He has spent the last ten years teaching English to sixth through twelfth graders in one of the largest school districts in the state of California.

Elizabeth James has spent the last eight years teaching English to all ability levels. She served the last four years as coordinator for the prestigious International Baccalaureate program in one of the largest school districts in the state of California. She and B.H. have two amazing sons.


We hope to see you!

Pacifica Book Club: 'Pillars of the Earth', Sept. 1st at Florey's!

Florey's welcomes you to our book club!

***Thursday, September 1st, 7:30pm-9:00pm***

Come by for a chat about our September book, 'Pillars of the Earth' by Ken Follett.

A departure for the bestselling thriller writer, the historical epic stunned readers and critics alike with its ambitious scope and gripping humanity. Today, it stands as a testament to Follett s unassailable command of the written word and to his universal appeal.

The Pillars of the Earth tells the story of Philip, prior of Kingsbridge, a devout and resourceful monk driven to build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has known of Tom, the mason who becomes his architect a man divided in his soul of the beautiful, elusive Lady Aliena, haunted by a secret shame and of a struggle between good and evil that will turn church against state, and brother against brother.

A spellbinding epic tale of ambition, anarchy, and absolute power set against the sprawling medieval canvas of twelfth-century England, this is Ken Follett's historical masterpiece.

'The Happy Blue Couch' book event with author Jodyne Ferreira August 20th at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes local author Jodyne Ferreira as she discusses her new children's picture book, "The Happy Blue Couch".

***Saturday, August 20th, 2:00-4:00pm***

About the Book:

A little blue couch has many special purposes at the busy preschool it calls home. It provides a comfortable place for sick children to rest, a spot for little ones to sit after they dress up, and a place for all the children to line up their toys. But the couch is not just practical, it is magical too!

With help from their imaginations, the children transform the couch into a pretend bed, a big blue boat, a flying carpet, a car, and many other fun things. But when the couch begins to show its age and the teacher must make a difficult decision, it is not long before someone proves that love lasts forever.

In this charming children's tale, a magical and beloved blue couch fuels the imaginations of the children at a preschool.

About the Author:

Jodyne Ferreira taught preschool for over thirty years. Now retired, Jodyne is a grandmother of five and great-grandmother of one. She has lived in Half Moon Bay for her entire life and continues to be an active community member.

Pacifica Book Club: 'Never Let Me Go', July 26th at Florey's!

Florey's welcomes you to our book club!

***Tuesday, July 26th, 7:30pm-9:00pm***

Come by for a chat about our July book, 'Never Let Me Go' by Kazuo Ishiguro.

From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and When We Were Orphans, comes an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat mystery that is at once heartbreakingly tender and morally courageous about what it means to be human.
Hailsham seems like a pleasant English boarding school, far from the influences of the city. Its students are well tended and supported, trained in art and literature, and become just the sort of people the world wants them to be. But, curiously, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it.
Within the grounds of Hailsham, Kathy grows from schoolgirl to young woman, but it's only when she and her friends Ruth and Tommy leave the safe grounds of the school (as they always knew they would) that they realize the full truth of what Hailsham is.
Never Let Me Go breaks through the boundaries of the literary novel. It is a gripping mystery, a beautiful love story, and also a scathing critique of human arrogance and a moral examination of how we treat the vulnerable and different in our society. In exploring the themes of memory and the impact of the past, Ishiguro takes on the idea of a possible future to create his most moving and powerful book to date.

"Coffeehouse" book event with author Anna Boothe, July 16th at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes local author Anna Boothe as she discusses her new novel, "Coffeehouse".

***Saturday, July 16th, 2:00-4:00pm***

About the Book:

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to visit a coffeehouse in the San Francisco Haight/Ashbury during the Hippie Era? COFFEEHOUSE will take you there. Written by the manager of a coffeehouse on Haight Street during this golden era, COFFEEHOUSE is the "real dope" on the Hippies of Haight Street. The story features Susan, an artist who struggles to keep her marriage to Sam, a shoe salesman who beats her up in a fight she initiated, Ishmael and Sarah the black and white hippie couple who manage the coffeehouse and poetry readings; Bob their gentleman bouncer and James, their soul brother dealer and Buck the black cloud who makes his last stand on a drunken New Years' Eve. This is the "Gone With the Wind" of the Hippie Era, the last stand of grass and poetry before the inevitable rush of the rich to this famous street, gradually nudging the Coffeehouse, book store, bars and smoke shop off the street, making this the last testament of one of the most important eras in recent history, when during a few years we have the rebirth of poetry readings, grass but not acid or hard drugs, psychedelic art and a return of the mural, communal living shelters and soup kitchens. and the Peace Movement Anna Boothe, manager of the coffeehouse, won a PEN Working Writers Grant for this book and now it is ready for your vicarious visit to the Coffeehouse during its Holiday poetry reading, visits by the Park Police and the death of James, symbolic of the death of the Coffeehouse which follows.

About the Author:

Anna Boothe managed the "Coffeehouse" on San Francisco's Haight Street during the last days of the Hippie era and tells all in this novel. She has a bachelor's degree in Journalism from the University of Missouri (where we dreamed of visiting the "hippie Haight. She taught writing at the University of Missouri and the University of Colorado before coming to the "University of the Street" and taking notes for this novel. Most of the characters (besides Ishmael and Sarah who are fictional) and incidents in the novel are real and will bring back memories to those in the area during this period. For those not here, it will give them a chance to sit and have a cup at the COFFEEHOUSE.

Free Lecture and Book Signing - Vision for Life

Loosen up your neck - the gateway to your eyes!

Join Meir Schneider, PhD, LMT, author of Vision for Life: 10 Steps to Natural Eyesight Improvement, to find out how easy-to-perform movement and vision exercises can work together to heal your body and eyes. Dr. Schneider will share new information about how the body and eyes are interrelated and how working with each one affects the healing of the other, such as how you can improve circulation to your eyes by loosening tension in your neck and back.

With the amount of time that people - especially children and teens whose vision is still developing - spend looking at computers, phones, and other screens, protecting and improving our vision is a more significant health issue than ever.

Meir Schneider healed himself of congenital blindness and developed an original holistic approach to health. The Meir Schneider Self-Healing Method is a unique combination of therapeutic massage, movement, and natural vision improvement exercises for prevention and rehabilitation of degenerative conditions. Meir is determined to revolutionize eye care and teach the world that vision doesn’t have to deteriorate - it can be improved!

Pacifica Book Club: 'Y: The Last Man', June 28th at Florey's!

Florey's welcomes you to our book club!

***Tuesday, June 28th, 7:30pm-9:00pm***

Come by for a chat about our June book, 'Y: The Last Man' by Brian K. Vaughn & Pia Guerra.

Y: THE LAST MAN, winner of three Eisner Awards and one of the most critically acclaimed, best-selling comic books series of the last decade, is that rare example of a page-turner that is at once humorous, socially relevant and endlessly surprising. Written by Brian K. Vaughan (Lost, PRIDE OF BAGHDAD, EX MACHINA) and with art by Pia Guerra, this is the saga of Yorick Brown—the only human survivor of a planet-wide plague that instantly kills every mammal possessing a Y chromosome. Accompanied by a mysterious government agent, a brilliant young geneticist and his pet monkey, Ampersand, Yorick travels the world in search of his lost love and the answer to why he's the last man on earth.

June 2016 Poetry at Florey's!

Florey's Books invites you to our ongoing poetry event.

***Saturday, June 25th, 7:30-9:30pm***

The featured poets this month are: Richard Loranger and Ken Saffran. The featured poets will be followed by an open mic period. Open mic sign-up is first come, first served. This event is open to the public and free of charge. You are welcome to bring a snack or beverage to share.


From Sherri, the host:

" I invite you to join me, Aaron and our two fine featured poets, Richard Loranger and Ken Saffran, as they regale us with their poetic vision. Please bring a snack or drink to share, if you're able to, and some work of your own or a favorite poet's to add in your voice at open mic. It promises to be a fine and festive evening.

It is also Bob's birthday (he would have been 70), and I'm planning to read some of the poems he wrote in his early life. If you'd care to read something for him at open mic, it would be very welcome. Since he was my co-creator for this poetry series, and did so much to make our evenings welcoming, warm and smooth-running, it feels appropriate to salute him at this reading."

About the featured readers:

Richard Loranger is a writer, performer, visual artist, and all around squeaky wheel, currently residing in Oakland , CA . His new book of flash prose, Sudden Windows (Zeitgeist Press, 2016), has been enthusiastically received. He is also the author of the Poems for Teeth, The Orange Book, and nine chapbooks. Other recent work can be found in Oakland Review #2, Overthrowing Capitalism vol. 2 (Revolutionary Poets Brigade), and the new anthology The Careless Embrace of the Boneshaker (great weather for MEDIA). You can find more about his work and scandals at www.richardloranger.com.

Ken Saffran has poems published in Ambush, Amsterdam Quarterly, Before Passing (Great Weather for Media) and SF Peace And Hope. He lives in San Francisco because he can't afford it.

"Crossing the Lines" Book Event with Author Tony Press, June 25th at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes local author Tony Press as he discusses his new collection of short stories, "Crossing the Lines".

***Saturday, June 25th, 1:00-3:00pm***

About the Book:

"Gentle Reader, welcome to the tender-hearted stories of Tony Press. In Crossing the Lines, hippies, poets, wanderers and thieves steal our hearts, not to break them, but to expand their beating chambers. Tony Press writes with care and precision about the quiet moments that swiftly and un-expectantly recalibrate our wavering lives. The strengths of these stories rest in their good humor and close attention to how we fall in love and how that love transports us into the dark and thorny depths of our own wilderness. Tony Press is the perfect guide for these unforgettable adventures." - Amber Dermont, The Starboard Sea and Damage Control

About the Author:

Tony Acarasiddhi Press lives near San Francisco and tries to pay attention. Sometimes he does. During a period of meditation on a retreat in 2003 he could barely sit still because a story was spilling into his consciousness. At the final bell he raced outside and wrote it down as fast as he could. He’s been writing ever since, primarily short stories, but also poems and essays. Since 2004 his efforts have appeared online and in print close to 100 times, including journals from at least five different countries. In 2014, Boston Literary Magazine nominated one of his stories for the Pushcart Prize. A few years earlier, JMWW had nominated another story for the Million Writers Award. He continues to follow a Buddhist path (hence the name Acarasiddhi), and struggles to sit still even without the intrusion of a story. His personal mantra is “keep walking” and he will do that as long as he can.

We hope to see you!

Pacifica Book Club: 'The Autobiography of Malcolm X', May 31st at Florey's!

Florey's welcomes you to our book club!

***Tuesday, May 31st, 7:30pm-9:00pm***

Come by for a chat about our May book, 'The Autobiography of Malcolm X' by Malcolm X as told to Alex Haley.

With its first great victory in the landmark Supreme Court decision "Brown v. Board of Education "in 1954, the civil rights movement gained the powerful momentum it needed to sweep forward into its crucial decade, the 1960s. As voices of protest and change rose above the din of history and false promises, one voice sounded more urgently, more passionately, than the rest. Malcolm X once called the most dangerous man in America challenged the world to listen and learn the truth as he experienced it. And his enduring message is as relevant today as when he first delivered it.
In the searing pages of this classic autobiography, originally published in 1964, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and anti-integrationist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Black Muslim movement to veteran writer and journalist Alex Haley . In a unique collaboration, Haley worked with Malcolm X for nearly two years, interviewing, listening to, and understanding the most controversial leader of his time.

Florey's Books welcomes local author Michelle Longega Wilson, as she discusses her new book "Lost in Venice".

***Saturday, May 28th, 2-4pm***

About the book:

Lost in Venice is the second of the series “The Adventures of Giulia” and it talks about Giulia, who goes to Venice for Carnival to visit her cousin Isabella. Isabella is a new character and she will be with Giulia during all of her adventures in Venice. Giulia and Isabella are complete opposites, as you know Giulia is never afraid and she loves adventures, while Isabella is always a little insecure. Luckily Giulia’s magical unicorn Sparkle will always be there to help her when Giulia’s sense of adventures goes overboard. In Venice, Giulia will visit many great places like Rialto, Murano, the famous Peggy Guggenheim Collection and more. She will discover amazing things hidden in plain sight and get lost in the beautiful city. As always the book will give you a chance to learn things about culture and history and trust me, in Venice you can learn a lot! The book has been written by me, a 10 year old girl!

Local Forum: 'The Presidential Candidates', May 25th at Florey's!

Florey's welcomes you to our discussion group!

***Wednesday, May 25th, 7:30pm-9pm***

From the host, Amanda:

There's a ton going on these days worth talking about and It'd be great to dive back in. I know it's shorter notice than usual, and we didn't get to collectively decide on a topic but I think this is one we can all easily jump into. I'd like to discuss what's going on with the primaries. Let's talk about the issues surrounding it. What has it taken for the most controversial primary candidate ever to rise to popularity? Another interesting thing I heard was in West Virginia, swing voters show that if Bernie does not win the primaries, they would vote for Trump. I have my theories on this, but let's talk about that.
What would happen if Trump becomes president? What would happen if Hilary or Bernie became president?

There's a lot to go off of on here. Share anything interesting about this topic with the group before the meeting and I'll see you there!

"That is the Question" Shakespeare Boardgame Event with Game Designer John Ahlbach, May 7th at Florey's!

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" in celebration of the birthday of William Shakespeare.

***Saturday, May 7th, 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.
