Celebrating What Whispers Back: Spinning Hawaiʻi’s Spooky Tales

So happy to receive my contributor’s copy of What Whispers Back: Spinning Hawaiʻi’s Spooky Tales from Bess Press in the mail last night. It’s so pretty!

What lingers after a story is told? What whispers back?

13 firsthand accounts of the unexplained from the Spooky Tales archives, in conversation with 13 new works of uncanny fiction they inspired.

I was asked to participate in this wonderful anthology earlier this year and I was paired with a spooky tale about the Keahole Airport on the Kona side of the Big Island (Now called Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport).

I will be honest this is one of the only pieces I have written this year and I was grateful for the inspiration.

I hope you consider preordering a copy of this anthology filled with amazing writers from Hawai’i:

Donald Carreira Ching, thomas iannucci, Megan Kamalei Kakimoto, Shay Kauwe, Kalehua Kim, Bryan Kamaoli Kuwada, R. Zamora Linmark, D. Kealiʻi MacKenzie, Brandy Nālani McDougall, Kapiliʻula Naehu-Ramos, Lehua Parker, and Misty-Lynn Sanico.

As always, stay safe. Sending love, light and creativity.
