About


 I paint pictures with orange skies and purple trees and write stories that explore the recesses of their character's minds-in a casual way. I also own a little bar called Kahale Beach Club in Kihei on the southern coast of Maui where I can take refreshment and watch the whales play. 

Maui has been home since I came to Hawaii by chance in the summer of nineteen seventy eight. One perk I have as an artist and writer is I can survive in one place about as well as any other, so why not wake up to a pleasant day?

Occasionally my friends lounge in the shade of five palms that line the grassy knoll at the beach of Keawakapu - the Hawaiian word for forbidden harbor according to my bartender, Kimo Kuaana. They sip mai-tais and gin as they prattle on about this and that.

Sometimes I join them, but you may be more likely to find me in my studio a block away readying paintings for show or writing whatever comes to mind, and that's okay with me.

Reviews

&quot;I have a theory. I believe the author's long sojourn on Maui has enabled him to escape the realities of life that most of us face each day and thus write a startling and compelling novel where reality is at best, ethereal. <em>Einstein's Road Trip</em> is astonishingly vibrant.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;addictive. A surreal journey by a likeable eccentric that gets more colorful with every chapter. It has everything, zero fields, aliens, mystery, witchery----. Magic must be in the air at the Maui shore, where the author weaves the fates of these enigmatic characters.&quot;  <strong>Ashen Venema</strong> - Author <em>Course of Mirrors</em><br /><br />&quot;a treasure. Is this guy nuts or is something really going on here? Each character has a story worth telling. Yet it is the wacky stream-of-consciousness ramblings of the narration that puts Einstein's Road Trip over the top.&quot; <strong>PD Allen</strong> - Author <em>Murderer's Sky</em><br /><br />&quot;beautifully humorous. Inevitably, parallels will be drawn with this and <em>The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy</em>, but <em>Einstein's Road Trip</em> is much more than that.&quot; <strong>Nicholas Boving</strong> - Author <em>The Warlock</em>
