about this book: Do you want to experience an adventure while staying safe at home? Then plan to join Pepper and her family in another Pepper Bibeau mystery as they take a private cruise around the main Hawaiian Islands. There'll be little time for relaxation, though.

I created the first draft of this story during NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writer's Month) in 2015. All authors know the first draft is written strictly for the writer's eyes only. And editing comes later. A few surgeries and other nuisances slowed progress of my extensive research (another Mai Tai, please) and editing. Then my family booked a Hawaiian cruise for October, 2020. I live in Hawaii and was really looking forward to spending time with visiting family members. (You know how those cruise plans fizzled out!) But the excitement generated by mounting anticipation gave me the incentive to complete my novel for publication in November, 2020.

If you enjoy a cozy mystery with interesting characters and a few red herrings (no, not sashimi or poké) and want to virtually immerse yourself in some fun Hawaiian activities such as hiking mountain trails, biking down Haleʻakala, and snorkeling off-shore reefs, then Island Cruise Homicide is the novel for you. A dead body, an end to a career, stolen surfboards, and the mysterious disappearance of a wizened old surfer all add to the intrigue. And I've included a glossary of Hawaiian words at the back of the book for those who what a bit more description of certain phrases and the smidgen of Pidgin English used in the story.
