As an adventure travel writer I love to travel and spend
time writing about my explorations. I also
love sharing Wai-nani, A Voice from OldHawai’i with book clubs so I have created
brief video clips answering the most common questions I receive from readers
about my book.
In the story I weave myth, legend, and actual historical
incidents that raises the question in the minds of readers “What is True?” In
this clip I address this very important question.
Is the story
historically accurate? http://youtu.be/wI4BONZhbjY
Each of the thirteen clips I created answer specific
questions about the Hawaiian culture. For instance, the death of Captain James
Cook at the hands of the Islanders has long been a controversial topic in Hawaiian
history, so I presented my position on the matter.
Did the Hawaiians
stab Captain Cook in the back? http://youtu.be/_S0kD-RtcK8
Here is my response to the question “Did Hawaiians have
“Love Games?”

It is my hope that
sharing in this way readers will not only come away with a better understanding
of the ancient Hawaiian culture, but that they it will give readers a more
personal connection with me. People love
videos because reading huge amounts of written content becomes over-whelming. I
hope people will find my videos about Wai-nani,
entertaining and informative and will share them with friends!
