Hi Bryan. Mahalo for the question.

I used Hawaiian Pidgin English in a short story set on Kaua'i. It centered around a multigenerational Hapa-Hawaiian family, so use of language was indicative to character, age, ethnic mix, education, and attitude. The choices I made were guided by personality and used with a light touch.

I'm still waiting to hear if the story will be included in an upcoming anthology, but if you follow me on social media or sign up for my muse-letter, you're sure to hear the news.(less)

With the Lily Wong mystery thrillers, I've also been able to dive more deeply into the Chinese portion of my mother's Chinese-Hawaiian heritage and my own father's North Dakota Norwegian roots. Although Lily is definitely not me and her parents are nothing like mine, a few cultural similarities do seep in from time to time. *wink*

I've also had a blast sharing my ninja martial arts training and portraying a modern-day ninja as authentically as I can.

But the unexpected joy about being a writer has been engaging with readers! I may write alone, by I always feel connected.(less)

“I love writing, but hate starting. The page is awfully white and it says, 'You may have fooled some of the people some of the time but those days are over, Giftless. I'm not your agent and I'm not your mommy: I'm a white piece of paper. You wanna dance with me?' and I really, really don't. I'll go peaceable-like.”
