Wayne Moniz, the "Dean of Maui Playwrights," offers seven tales of his island home, each in a different genre-love, detective, adventure, war, science fiction, and ghost stories, and a Western-"to preserve the memory of a time that is slipping away and to encourage action to protect Hawaii’s unique land and culture." In 2005, Moniz received the Cades Award for Literature, Hawaii's most prestigious writing prize.

"With firm knowledge and a gift of telling stories, Wayne Moniz takes us from pre-contact Hawai‘i to the 1960s on an island of gods and royalty, cowboys and schoolboys." -Deborah Iida, award-winning author of Middle Son
