My Middle Grade (ages 8-12) series is entitled The Hawaiian Island Detective Club. Book one is Pineapples in Peril. Books two and
three are Menehunes Missing and Ukuleles Undercover.
These books Have Been Contracted!!! I will let you know when they will be published and available to you, but in the meantime, it might be fun during this
month to talk about my characters.
I want to share a little about my character’s names. You may wonder
what they mean and how they’re pronounced, so I plan to address these
questions.
Today I’m introducing my main character, Leilani Akamai. Leilani is thirteen years old and loves mysteries.
She’s pretended to solve mysteries for a number of years, but now she and her
friends are ready to solve something real, like the vandalism occurring in the
pineapple fields near her home.
Leilani is
pronounced: lay-LAH-nee
Meaning: Heavenly
Blossoms
Gender: Female
Akamai is
pronounced: ah-kah-MY
Meaning: Smart,
Intelligent, Wisdom
Gender: Female
Isn’t this fun?? Join me on Monday for another character!
Mahalo for visiting!
