Aloha, Tiki Chris Pinto

My wife wondered why I was focused on my iPhone all evening and into the wee hours of this morning. I credit you as author of Murder on Tiki Island for a relatively sleep-free night. It was a captivating read in its story, imagery and historical context. I'm a regular visitor to the Florida Keys and Key West. I also experienced Hurricane Katrina at Category 1 strength while at Key West in 2005, after it made an unexpected downward movement into the Florida Keys, on the way to its fateful rendezvous with New Orleans. Murder on Tiki Island effectively portrays the sound, fury and visceral effect of these tropical storms on those who experience them.

I also credit you with inducing me to try the Kindle app on the iPhone. For those who haven't tried it, it works exceedingly well.

Mahalo for all,

Tom

Thanks Tiki Tom! I wrote this book for people like you, and it really makes me feel great to hear you dig it.
I too lived through a few storms, including hurricane Wilma in 2005 that nearly took the room of off our home west of Fort Lauderdale. It was fun writing about going through a storm...but I hope I never have to actually live through that again, that's for sure.

Thanks again, I really appreciate the cool review!
