K is for Kimo


Vlado/FreeDigitalPhotos.net


Ahhh . . . yes—Kimo! He’s Leilani’s ten-year-old brother who really, really wants to be part of the detective club. Kimo drives Leilani bonkers while trying to prove he’s a great investigator. Mostly he just manages to annoy his teenage sister and her friends.

What do you think might happen? Will Kimo succeed? Or will he just get himself into even more trouble? Will he spoil things for Leilani?

And then there’s Kainoa, Leilani’s surfing buddy and instructor since she was eight. He’s the 16-year-old older brother of Leilani’s best friend, Maile. And—you guessed it—Leilani has a crush on him. But then something happens and Leilani fears she may have lost “the love of her life” and her surfing buddy forever.

Ahhh . . . the angst of being a young teen. Remember those days? I sure do.

Join me on Mondays and Thursdays as I go through the alphabet, giving you little snippets of words from Pineapples in Peril (Book 1 of The Hawaiian Island Detective Club.) It’s the ABCs OF THE HIDC!—until the release date for Pineapples on October 2, 2012.




Aloha, and Mahalo for visiting!

      Who wouldn't LOVE both those guys? Kimo for his craziness and Kainoa for the buff surfer-dude and all-around good guy he is! Thanks for your support, Jessica!

    I'm excited about your debut! I didn't know the name Kimo was Hawaiian :-)

      Thanks, Brandi! Yes, Kimo is Hawaiian. And recently I met a Leilani who had a cousin named Kimo--how cool is that?? I so appreciate your comments.

    As a girl, The Three Investigators, Hardy Boys, and Nancy Drew were on my top five favorite series list. Loved them! This reminds me of my old faves. :)

      Cool, Rhonda! My faves too. I guess that's why this type and age group just comes naturally to me--much more than writing for adults! Thanks so much for visiting and commenting.
