Story Behind The Book
The biggest inspiration that went into writing The Summer Solstice Series was my move to Florida back in 2008, and experiencing the newness of my surroundings. Being a Hawaiian-born girl, I've always had a thing for beaches and the sun and thought it would be fun to write a book about a girl who is new to an area where its strangeness is its beauty. The mythology and magic of the series came after I found the location of the town I wanted to set it in. Apollo Beach was an intriguing name and inspired some research. From there, the Greek Mythology elements began to take on a life of their own.
