We met at Marine Stadium (introduced by Jeanne)a month or so ago. Since that time many friends have been introduced to your novels. We all enjoy them immensely. You weave mystery and romance, at the same time teaching about different occupations and regions. I had one comment from my husband, who was born and raised in Hawaii. He was surprised that the word for "crazy" was now "lolo". When he was living there "papule" was "crazy". "Lolo" was just the tail end of "pakilolo". It is interesting how the language is constantly evolving. We finally made a list of all your books. We have purchased so many we were getting confused about which we had read. You certainly are a prolific writer. We are all amazed about your ideas, your creativity, the wonderful way you describe your surroundings and activities. Thank you for introducing our "elder group" to the joys of your writings. Elaine
