Aloha, My Dear Reader...
Welcome to our booth at the
Holiday Gift and Craft Fair here in Honolulu. So delighted you’ve just chosen Copper
and Goldie, 13 Tails of Mystery and Suspense in Hawai‘i, for your first
foray into our books. You have such good taste! I suppose you’re wondering what
it’s all about.
Just imagine you are on the
island of Oahu in Hawaii, walking along the sidewalks of Waikiki. A cab pulls up
to the curb, but not just any cab. It’s a classic yellow Checker Cab, and the driver
is a smiling, handsome Hawaiian. You get in back and discover there’s a
beautiful golden retriever harnessed in the shotgun seat right alongside the
man up front.
“What’s her name?” you ask.
“Goldie,” he replies. She
turns her head and gives you her best doggie grin.
“Where to?” he asks.
You tell him your
destination, and he whisks you down Kalakaua Avenue. You’re curious and ask him
how he came to be a cabbie. He tells you his name is Sam Nahoe, and he used to
be one of Honolulu’s Finest, a police homicide
detective.
“Used to be?” you question.
“Yeah, I took one in the
spine, so now I’m medically retired. Driving a taxi is about all I can do. I
walk with Cane and Able, No, not the biblical spellings.” (He points to two
canes tied to the dashboard.). “It even ended my marriage. I only get to see my
little girl, Peggy, every Sunday.”
“Is that a PI license I see
on your dashboard?” you inquire.
“Had to get it after Goldie
and I ran into some tough situations a while back.”
“Tough situations?” you ask.
“You know, bank robbers,
kidnappers, vengeful wives, killers, and the like. Thirteen complete and
satisfying mysteries I could tell you, but I won’t spoil them for you just now.
And Goldie here helped me to solve them. I trained her to do all sorts of
tricks to catch those lowlifes.”
Arriving at your destination,
you lean over Goldie to settle with Sam and get a surprise lick on your left
cheek. As you stand back and watch the cab disappear into infinity, you can
still see the palm trees sway in the salty breeze. Suddenly you realize the
only way you’re going to learn more is to read the book about your newfound
friends.
So, Dear Reader, mahalo (thank you) for buying our book.
With love and much aloha,
Rosemary and Larry Mild
