Aloha! My name is James and I wrote these kids books.
Think of the Percy Jackson series but set in Hawaii, with native vs invasive species, hilarious Menehune, and really fun retelling of Hawaiian mythology!
They’re available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Paperback.

One of my favorite part about having written a series is being able to give the first book away for free.
It had been a year, so I did another giveaway this past weekend and had a stellar response.

I am highly biased and much prefer the worst candid kid’s review than the best adults have to offer. Children are my demographic.
I’m going to where they are with these stories, not vice versa. Their opinions transcribed authentically is just the best.
Mahalo to this ten year-old for his review!

true story: my sister invited a friend to our family’s thanksgiving. her friend was an npr reporter (lefty). my family is conservative.
we all got along super well. we talked politics, energy, ecology and by the time our family event was over she fit in with everyone easily.

I spent dozens of hours learning After Effects to make this book trailer.
I really hope you like it.
(Bluesky only allows 1 min videos so the book at the end barely stays, but I’ll post the cover below again)

The market is getting crunchier in ways that make it more difficult for middle grade authors.
Thankfully, most kids aren’t aware of this.
I’ll keep writing until kids stop reading. It’s not their fault new books are harder to find. It means I need more creative ways to reach them. #authors
