Let me entice you with an excerpt from my newest release, Love those Hula Hips:
Hoku entered the Pacific with an
audible sigh. She swam just beyond the
wave break and turned to lie on her back.
The familiar up and down cradling motion of salt water eased the tension
at the base of her neck. She closed her
eyes. As the waves rocked her back and
forth, her arms and legs relaxed and her spine melded with the ocean. Her lips formed a crescent of contentment as
images of growing up at the Breezeway emerged like a slide show—her grandmother
stringing plumeria leis for the guests, catching ʹaʹama crab on the beach with her brother, and her mom weaving
lauhala leaves into baskets. Hoku’s
throat caught as she imagined her beloved dad playing “Opihi Man” on the
ukulele while she danced a lively hula.
