Aloha to St. Martin's Press!

Aloha to St. Martin's Press!



E i ka halau ho’okahi.
All knowledge is not taught in one school.





Pu’olo waimaka a ke aloha.
Love brings tears to the eyes.





As summer winds down, what's ahead for you in the fall?  One randomly selected commenter from this week's blogs wins a book choice from my convention stash.   This giveaway is open to all readers.  Comments are open through Saturday, August 18, 10 pm in Hawaii.  I'll post the winner on Sunday, August 19.

Mahalo,

Kim in Hawaii

  1. Little sad that summer is coming to an end. And it means that my birthday is literally around the corner (September). Because Fall means winter is aruond the bend. Meh...

  2. Nothing majestic will happen to me in the coming month. Still going to be busy with school, lots of activities, projects and our dreaded Midterm exam. So wish me luck! ;>

  4. I am retired, and watch my granddaughter for her single mother. Summertime means that I have her all day long. When she was younger we used to do so many fun things together. But she is now a preteen who is firmly attached to her laptop, cell phone, and iPod. So, I am looking forward to some alone time to enjoy my retirement! ;o)

  6. I plan to go back on the road with my husband and we've also got a short trip (3 nights) planned for San Antonio right after Thanksgiving. Have really wanted to go when the River Walk is all decked out for the holidays.

  8. Just sending my youngest off to high school! Looking forward to some crisp autumn weather, but you can relate in Hawaii--we're lucky to get it in December here in South Carolina!

    Thanks for featuring Dukes to the Left of Me, Princes to the Right. I love how you dressed up the pictures in beautiful Hawaiian style, and I especially love that I have kitty statues near my book. I adore cats!!!

    XOXO to you and all your readers!!!!

  13. Hi Kim!

    I'd love to win a copy of Michelle Marcos's book Lessons in Loving a Laird because she named one of the characters after me - my maiden name was Jeanne Hastings Ryon. I still haven't had a chance to buy it and none of my family believes me when I tell them! (Yes, Ryon is spelled with an "O"!). My father always told me we were Irish and thrown out of the country and that's how we ended up in Scotland (the family emigrated to the US from Glascow) but I think we're actually from the English line of the Ryon family tree. Someday I'll I hope to have the time (and money) to search Ancestry.com!

  22. Having back surgery Monday so no plans for later except getting my mojo back. lol I do hope I will be able to get in yard for fall planting, pruning and putting pine straw down.
    We have had a great summer without days of 100+ heat. Even getting a little rain 2 or 3 times a week has been great for our water level, grass and plants. I have been reading alot and while recouperating will get even more reading in.

  24. My son will be getting married November 10th. I just watched my daughter graduate from college in May, then two weeks later watched her walk a different isle.... her wedding. This has been a wonderful year for my family. I plan on doing a lot of hiking in the mountains here in NC. this fall. It's always so beautiful and is my favorite time of the year. Thank you for the chance in the giveaway. Lots of great books!

  26. I live in the tropics so don't experience the 4 seasons, every day is much the same: hot & humid! Quite looking forward to the rest of this year, we seem to have a lot of holidays coming up which means more time to read!
