| Aloha! | Tuesday brings our next Words & Wine event; read-on for our featured local authors. Let your published friends know about this fun monthly event; we'd love to host them sometime soon. Our featured product this month is Root Candles, see below for info and a coupon.

| Words & Wine: Tuesday, March 1 @ 6pm |
One reviewer says Captain Cooked reads "like Janet Evanovich morphing into Rachel Ray while filming a remake of the Perils of Pauline." The book's subtitle speaks of 'Hawaiian Mystery of Romance, Revenge...and Recipes'. A unique aspect of the novel is that there is a real treasure hunt embedded within the pages. A Hawaiian war club is somewhere hidden on the Big Island and if found, using GPS, the finder receives $5,000 cash. Meet the author S. P. Grogan Tuesday.
 Our second author Cynthia Wicks has written a book of poetry called Kindergarden for Grownups. Cynthia is a broad exaggeration of herself. Her writing exemplifies this. Kindergarten is Cynthia's first published collection of poems and short comedic prose. It is the culmination of 43 years of life and gratitude for her rich experience.
Tuesday, March 1 @ 6pm
