Short Stories

"Walter! Walter!" was named the grand prize winner of the Honolulu Magazine Fiction Contest for 2002. Walter is a good but unremarkable man who suddenly does a most remarkable thing. He begins to live on top of his house. His wife and children, who continue to live inside the house like regular people, react to this odd behavior, as do his neighbors. Set in my own neighborhood of Kapahulu, not far from Diamond Head and Waikiki, on the island of Oahu. Read the story!

"Speedy Delivery" was named a runnerup in the Honolulu Magazine Fiction Contest for 2001. It tells the tale of a romantic mailman, a long-legged waitress/painter, and a waiter/writer who is looking for stories. Set in Kapahulu and Waikiki.

"Mutant Killer Shrimp of the Ala Wai" received an honorable mention in the Honolulu Magazine Fiction Contest for 2004. This tale recounts the strange, true events involving oxymoronic giant shrimp discovered in the Ala Wai Canal in 2003, and some other fanciful events way too terrifying to relate here. Dan Rather and Jade Moon play key roles in this thriller. Set in Waikiki, on the dangerous banks of the Ala Wai, where it all happened.

I'm currently writing about a dozen more stories, all set in Honolulu, including the following:
"Mango Lessons"
"Dan and Lyla"

"How Jackie Got Her Oil Changed"
