"Gossip Queen" Book Event with Rinnah Y .Hope, Sat. Nov. 3rd at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes author Rinnah Y. Hope as she reads and discusses her new picture book: "Gossip Queen".

***Saturday, November 3rd, 2-4pm***

About the book:

Gossip Queen takes us on a journey through the schoolyards and the hearts of our children. Little Elena struggled with isolation after losing her hearing and speech. She learned how damaging words could be when an angel freed her tongue and unclogged her ears. This delightful and uplifting story conveys an important message: words are powerful and the tongue is like a spark that can set a forest on fire.

About the Author:

She also taught Mathematics and Biology in high schools and Mass Communications and Public Speaking at a college. Besides a B.S., she holds an M.A. degree in Communications and Theater Arts from the University of Iowa.

"Wait a Lonely Lifetime" Book Event with Leigh Verrill-Rhys, Sat. Oct. 20th at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes author Leigh Verrill-Rhys as she discusses her new novel "Wait a Lonely Lifetime".

***Saturday, October, 2oth, 2-4pm***

About the book:

Sylviana Langdon’s marriage went bad from the start. She married the wrong guy, and there was no chance of ever making him right—not for her. Divorced and dating again, she can’t stop thinking about a smart guy she met a few weeks before Steve came into her life. Eric Wasserman walked away from her with no explanation back then. What would he want with an airhead artist’s model now, fifteen years and two little girls later?

Captain Wasserman’s best buddy, Steve Langdon, saved his life and stole his girl. The career Army officer’s second-in-command drops a pretty blue envelope on his desk. The handwriting isn’t familiar, but the name pulls the pin on the grenade that has been in Eric’s mind since he walked away from the green-eyed girl his buddy wanted.

When he doesn’t reply to either of the two letters and a third arrives, his ungentlemanly behavior threatens the morale of his combat support unit. For the sake of his unit, Eric takes the hit from his best buddy’s wife, wondering why Steve has put her up to writing to a man she doesn’t know.

About the author:

A native of Paris Hill, Maine, Leigh Verrill-Rhys spent most of her childhood and early adult years in San Francisco before emigrating to Wales to marry and raise three sons. She has been a writer, editor and lecturer for most of her life, intermingled with career portfolios in marketing, finance, and community arts projects.

An Award-winning editor, she has published three volumes of women's autobiographical writing about their lives in Wales during World War II. She is a member of Romance Writers of America, the Welsh Academy and several RWA chapters. 'Wait a Lonely Lifetime' is her first published novel.

Sharon the Health Presents: Fit and Flexible at Any Age, Wed. Oct. 17 at Florey's!

Florey's Book Co. welcomes Sharon Caren of Sharon the Health and guest speaker Aaron Parnell, Posturist. He will lead a free, interactive workshop on the topic: "Fit, Flexible and Fabulous at Any Age!"

***Wednesday, Oct.17th 6:45-8:30pm***

First time speaker in Pacifica, Aaron Parnell, Posturist and the developer of Reposturing Bodywork, was a member of the first Olympic Sportsmassage Team in the Los Angeles Games. Working with these world class athlete's was how Reposturing was born. It worked for the best of the best and now it works even better for us!

Aaron started out his career as a massage therapist and personal trainer. He worked in a Chiropractic office and then enrolled into Chiropractic College. In his studies, he realized no one was really doing the important muscle work that was needed to balance the body according to gravity. It was the MISSING LINK!

He wants to share his secrets for your health and vitality no matter what age you are. Posture is the most under rated component for a healthy body. Aaron brings the time-honored traditions of Hatha Yoga, with leading edge research and developments in sports performance, exercise science, and kinesiology together to make a simple but effective way to get rid of pain in our everyday lives. This happens through a hands-on technique and a self care plan as well. Amazing? No, it’s scientifically based and cutting edge discoveries he'll share with you. Don't miss it.

"What Happened to Pluto?" Astronomy talk with Jack Preston, Sat. Oct. 13th, 2pm!

Florey's Books invites you to an astronomy talk with Jack Preston.

***Saturday, October 13th, 2-4pm***

About the talk:

What Happened to Pluto and Why Isn’t it a Planet Anymore?

Most of us know that Pluto has been downgraded from its original classification as a normal planet. We will be talking about why this happened, does it make any sense and how Pluto is now classified. We will also look at the history of what the word planet has meant in the past and how it has changed.


About the speaker:

Jack Preston, now retired, was a professor of Astronomy at Cañada College in Redwood City, California from 1984 until 2008. He received his Bachelor’s Degree from Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1966, and that year moved to California where he has lived ever since. He received his Master’s Degree from San Francisco State University in 1974. Jack grew up in New England which is where he learned to love the night sky. He joined his first group of amateur astronomers while in the fifth grade in 1955 and has never lost his love for the stars. He spent four years in the U.S. Air Force in the late 60’s and has taught Astronomy, Physics, and Math ever since. He is currently volunteering at the CuriOdyssey Museum at Coyote Point.
