When you keep a book on your currently reading list for over a year (or years), an author's soul dies a little when they log into goodreads.

Thanks for the friend invite!I look forward to reading more of your work and any recommendations you throw my way!
Hi Paul,Thanks for the friend request!
Wishing you all the best in 2010.
Nancy
Paul! I just ordered Kelland and can't wait to get started on it. I hope you're well. I don't particularly like this cold Californian weather....and have been missing "home" a lot lately ; ) Aloha! -LaviniaPS: sorry if you get this comment a ba-jillion times on your facebook. That darn thing kept freezing then deleting then making me jump through hoops, and in the end, the comment still wouldn't post! So hopefully I have more luck with goodreads!
Wow Paul, you're a celeb! A well-rounded celeb since it seems like you've done so much in the entertainment field. kudos! I'll have to look up and research your movie. Sounds Asian-inspired, considering all the Asian actors. Cool beans. Tamlyn swears a lot? Does she drink like a fish too because that'd make her right up my ally! I kid, I kid.
I remember meeting her a few years ago at some function in Cali. Boy, is she beautiful and energetic. She did such a bang up job too in Joy Luck Club. Amazing actress. Didn't she break out in the Karate Kid #2 movie too or something? Interesting!
Well, Paul, you just keep getting more and more interesting. I am glad to have met you through Casperian.
Have a great rest of the week, and maybe I'll find your Hawaiian novel in one of the small bookstores on the island. Take care!

Hi Lavina!
I actually know Picture Bride really well...in fact my ex and I went to see it with Tamlyn (who is the coolest person on the planet) when it premiered. BTW, Tamlyn can also swear like a sailor. (I produced one movie in my life...it was Tamlyn, her then husband Stan Egi, Dustin Nguyen, Garrett Wang, Keiko Agena (who is from Hawai'i), Darion Basco and Lindsay Price...about a dozen years ago now).
"Moloka'i" is also really brilliant as it spans 60 years of the lead characters' life as a patient at Kalaupapa.
Definitely let me know if you find any new reads on O'ahu. Always looking for great new stuff from my wanna-be home.
Cheers!
Hey Paul, thought I'd go directly to the source instead of stay on that one discussion board.I'll have to check those books out. Honolulu sounds a lot like that one movie called Picture Bride. Have you seen it? Tamlyn Tomita rocks a pidgin accent. It's pretty interesting.
Maybe I'll find some cool reads on Oahu to check out. I'll let you know if I find anything interesting.
Thanks for the book suggestions!!!
