Book Description
The year is 1984. Things are looking up for 30 year old David Boyer, an aspiring world class athlete. He is on the cusp of achieving his lifelong dream of becoming one of the best tennis players in the world, when his life is turned upside down by a serious accident. With his body damaged and his spirit crushed, he is forced to accept menial work with a large energy corporation where his father already works. Bucky Boyer is a brilliant scientist who has invented a revolutionary electrical device, years ahead of its time, that threatens to bankrupt the very company that now employs them. Meanwhile, dozens of retired employees have been dying in tragic accidents. Joe Miller, David's friend, coworker, and frustrated amateur detective, senses the suspicious nature of it all. David is reluctantly dragged into the conspiracy. With the help of another old friend from childhood and his amazing pet, the mystery is finally unraveled. David confronts his ultimate fear and, in so doing, gains a powerful life lesson and a deeper appreciation for this new life that has replaced the one he lost. This novel has everything: danger, suspense, tragedy, fishing, intrigue, funny stories, sad stories, science, complicated characters, romance, courageous animals, timeless words of wisdom, and humor. Two thumbs up(the author's).

Book Description
Six months ago, if anyone would have told Em Johnson she'd end up divorced, broke, and running the dilapidated Tiki Goddess Bar on the magical North Shore of Kauai she would have told them to shove a swizzle stick up their okole. As if all that isn't bad enough, when an obnoxious neighbor with a grudge is found dead in the Goddess luau pit, suspicion falls on Em and the rest of the Goddess staff. With the help of a quirky dance troupe of over-the-hill Hula Maidens, Em and the cast of characters must ban together to find the killer and solve the mystery before the next pupu party. JILL MARIE LANDIS has written over twenty-five novels, which have earned awards and slots on such national bestseller lists as the USA TODAY Top 50 and the New York Times Best Sellers Plus. She is a seven-time finalist for Romance Writers of America's RITA Award in both Single Title and Contemporary Romance as well as a Golden Heart and RITA Award winner. She's written historical and contemporary romance as well as inspirational historical romance, and she is now penning The Tiki Goddess Mystery Series, which begins with MAI TAI ONE ON.

Book Description
Forget the grass skirts. Some of the Island's top hula dancers are pushing up daisies. Everyone at Em Johnson's famous North Shore Kauai hang-out, The Tiki Goddess Bar, knows that the bar's irrepressible Hula Maidens take their hula dancing seriously. So when famed hula instructors from a rival dance troop start dropping like over-ripe passion fruit, Em and the Hula Maidens go undercover at the Kukui Nut Festival Hula Competition to uncover the killer. Em is once again up to her okole in danger and mystery, not to mention the seductive challenge of working with hunky detective Roland Sharpe, who moonlights as one of the island's sexiest fire dancers. The hula is lively, the luau is smoking, the mai tais are delicious, and a killer is looking to get away with murder in paradise.
