Aloha from NYC.
hey mobilereaders, i am a hot-off-the-press new indie author. I've just published my first memoir, I Think I'll Make It on Amazon. It's a true story of lost and found; a rags to riches of the soul.
After a year spent perpetually lost in Southeast Asia where I wrote my book, I have landed in NYC where even after a solid year of exploration in a city that speaks my native tongue, no less, I still feel like a tourist. I love all things sports, outdoors, travel and nature. I love to surf and miss Hawaii dearly (the backdrop of I Think I'll Make It). I enjoy snowboarding, but have come to know that the older I get the less my bones tolerate the cold. Despite the flak from family and friends, I have become a foodie and a terrible invite to holiday parties. My fiancee is a health supportive chef, so I blame her, but I'm not complaining. I love the fall and how it evokes red wine and hoppy beer. I don't own a TV, I am movie buff-less, a terrible speller, and my knowledge of fine fiction is embarrassing. My library consists almost entirely of non-fiction, memoir, biography, spirituality, and personal development. I can talk any of those topics and many more, so feel free to say hello. I'd love to hear from you. |

Hi Kat and welcome to MobileRead
Used to live in Pearl City and on Kapiolani in Honolulu. And as a kid, I thought the world stopped at the Hudson River. My father is from Brooklyn and mother is from Manhattan; so I tell people I'm the product of a mixed marriage. |
