Profile Information

Tell Us a Little About Yourself: Author

Brief Biography (Authors Required - Others, optional): I am an adventure travel writer disguised as a Realtor. I’ve been living a double life for that last decade. When I published my historical novel Wai-nani, High Chiefess of Hawaii, it became imperative that I come out of the drawer and into the streets to spread the “good news.” Writing is more fun and satisfying than profitable, and real estate is more profitable than fun. I love both worlds. I very proud of my travel collection, Lost Angel Walkabout-One Traveler's Tales loosed upon the world in 2010!
