Jill P. Anderson

Home is the great Pacific Northwest. Because I love all things water, (nice because we do get rain!) it's a perfect place for creating, whether writing or doing digital art in Photoshop. My other interests include psychology, philosophy and natural approaches to healing. My favorite authors at the moment: Jojo Moyes, Barbara O'Neal, Kristin Hannah. Life paths not taken:
Landscape design, Architect, Naturopathic Medicine, Professional Ice Skater, Movie Director, Favorite sport: Pickleball. Favorite foods: Artichokes, ice cream, and remember that String Bean Casserole...?

Linda Ballou

A love triangle of extremes has proven to be a solid base for my writing. From my roots in Alaska I receive strength, solitude, centeredness and respect for the awful power of nature. In Hawaii I found nurturing, a spiritual awakening, sensuality, peace and my heroine for my historical fiction, Wai-nani-A Voice from Old Hawaii. In proud California I obtained a degree in English Literature and a doctorate in urban savvy. I continue to enjoy opportunities here for intellectual stimulation, exciting contacts and friends. It makes a great base for exploits that I share in my travel collection Lost Angel Walkabout-One Traveler's Tales.

Wright's work is primarily concerned with the complexities of multicultural Hawaii, Killahaole Day, prejudices against (and within) island high schools, and the tricky matter of interracial dating. He incorporates the local creole language into his novels and was the first author to do
