A new novel! THE GUNS OF LANA'I...

This novel tells of the conflict between the Hawaiian descendants of the former rulers of Lana’i and a ruthless haole (i.e. white mainlander) businessman Tom Morgan. After the 1893 overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy by white Americans, Morgan has taken this island for his own.  Violent conflict is the result.

It’s a story of a disenfranchised people attempting to regain their birthright…with the help of another haole…Kimo Severance, an ex-con… and his Argentine gaucho partner, El Pituco, sometimes with disastrous results. An important contributing factor to the conflict among the Hawaiians themselves is the love between Kimo and Elizabeth Kailani Alaka’i, the remarkable sister of the island’s Hawaiian leader, Junior Alaka’i.

The manuscript is ready. And, like every novel, it needs a professional edit, book design, cover design, and marketing. With a donation of whatever amount you feel is appropriate, you’ll be a much-valued participant in this process.
