Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Aloha, I live on the island of Kauai and my passion is swimming in my creativity and imagination to write children’s books with a valuable message. Literally being in the ocean brings forth expanded joyful creativity as I create characters and their adventures. The Big Bear Series of 3 is my first children’s picture books and am excited to release the next series.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Beddy Bye Big Bear was inspired by the cultural iconic stories about finding home and sleeping in your own bed. It’s a modern-day Princess and the Pea meets the Wizard of Oz. Ironically, it’s dedicated to my dear friend, the Wizard 😉
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Like I mentioned, I get my inspiration and do my best writing either in or near the ocean. My creativity is most heightened in nature.
