If you had the means to curse someone, would you?
Would you curse the person who stole your gold bracelet? Would you curse the person who stole your love? Or would it have to be deeper than that? Perhaps you would be so angry as to wish the worst upon the person responsible for the death of someone in your family.
Deep in the heart of Honolulu, there is a group of people who offer a unique service. They will cast a curse upon your enemy on your behalf. They don’t ask for money, accepting whatever you can give, but you have to have a good reason.
This is a story about 'ohana (family). It's about kuleana (responsibility), and ka hana ku pono (doing the right thing). Many of my fans already know a little bit about Boy Napualawa's story from facebook where they read about the history and the tragedy that brought him to where he is today. The story continues in my first ever full-length novel, Ka Hua O'o - The Right Time.

Before becoming a world-class destination, before ghost tours, before outside visitors... the islands of Hawai‘i were steeped in oral traditions of shape shifting beings in the upland forests or waterfalls which were inhabited by a translucent force that dragged young men into their dark depths in order to suck the spiritual life out of them. Even King Kamehameha found it necessary to appease the very gods themselves in order to secure victory in his campaign to bring the Hawaiian archipelago under one rule.
Master storyteller, Lopaka Kapanui, brings to life the feared Nightmarchers, the goddess Pele, Menehune, e‘epa, mo‘o and more. But… Hawaiian deities and spirits aren’t the only things residing in this island paradise. Here is also where the Japanese dog demons, the inu-gami, are sent to ruin the lives of unsuspecting families. Here is where the Filipino vampire-like creature, the aswang, roams in search of her next victim. And here is where the Portuguese witch, the feiteceira, spins her spells and curses at her whim. Rich in culture and traditions, these islands are overflowing with stories of ghosts and hauntings, creatures and curses. Lopaka is the keeper of these stories.
Beyond the cool, blue waters and balmy trade winds of our idealistic paradise is the thin veil which separates our world from the place where shadows talk back. Spirits, Ghosts, Legends, Facts... Experience the Hawaii most don't see everyday.
