8-13-26. Hope your summer's swimming along! On Kaua'i, El Nino is bringing us warmer-than-usual waters. Yum.
But this week we're awaiting Tropical Storm, Lala….
A hurricane's bark (approach) is usually worse than its bite (strike), but they're unpredictable. And Lala's arriving in sync with the Beach House Craft Fair, my new book-signing venue (in Poipu, 3rd Sunday of every month, 9 am - 1 pm).
≤=======
This fun market—smack on the beach at a hot surf spot—has been cancelled this month, due to the storm, but will be back Sept. 20th.
2nd Sundays (4-8 pm), I'm always at the Princeville Night Market (North Shore). =====>
Another awesome market, includingfood and music.
And I also do monthly signings at Hawaiian Artisans Gallery at the Coconut Marketplace in Kapa'a (East Side)—usually on a Tuesday, dates TBD.

MAY 17, 2026. My yoga partner. Or one of them..... If it looks like a wild boar, that's bc it IS a wild boar. They join me every night I do yoga in my yard. (And that's a LITTLE one.) They're quite bold, not sure why, and somewhat intimidating, but not known to attack people.
NEW BOOK IS OUT !!
Only 3 reviews so far — add yours to my Amazon page !

Hiya ~ Happy Valentine's Day! Love is good.
I'm back from Down Under. Weird but good trip. (Got deathly ill, but survived by coming home early!) I also stopped in Fiji on the way back, but that, too, was watered down by my infirmity.
Still GLAD I went! But may need to go back to that part of the world and dive deeper when I'm up to snuff.
As for the new book, “Landlady in Paradise—How Not To!” is almost ready. just need to submit it to the printer and get a sample copy.
And this should happen by the beginning of March.
I'll alert my email list as to the exact date. Also, the book will LAUNCH AT THE DISCOUNT PRICE OF $16.99, its regular price of $19.99.
With love and aloha to all!

Just wanted to say hi. Especially to all my recent visitors from SINGAPORE !! (Why are so many Singapore people suddenly discovering my books?)
Meanwhile, my new book is almost ready! But I'll be traveling throughout January, so ‘Landlady in Paradise—How Not To!’ will be released in February of March. I'll keep you posted!
There WILL BE an early-bird discount the first weeks of the launch.
