Description
In his first book, "Under Maui Skies and Other Stories," Wayne Moniz wrote seven tales of his Maui home. In this new book, "Beyond the Reef: Stories of Maui in the World," the prize-winning author introduces eight new narratives. Like all his previous works, the Maui native has based these stories on the people, events, and issues of Hawaii, with the aim of preserving its rich past. This time some moolelo occur beyond the Valley Isle. The new settings - the Big Island, Oahu, California, and even Europe - are all, nevertheless, anchored in the writer's birthplace. As in his former anthology - 2010 Readers' Choice Book of the year by the Hawaii Book Publishers Association - each yarn is of a different genre: ghost story, comedy, crime, a Western, and this time, includes several new types: a tragedy, an inspirational story, a coming-of-age tale, and a sports reminiscence. Here's what critics said about his last book, "Under Maui Skies and Other Stories" "The Storyteller, writer Wayne Moniz, brings Maui's past to life." Maui Time "Under Maui Skies is one of the most engaging works of fiction to come out of Hawaiin a long time." The San Francisco Chronicle Here's what they're already saying about "Beyond the Reef: Stories of Maui in the World" "Let 'Beyond the Reef' carry you away into a treasure of stories from the talented pen of Wayne Moniz." Kumu Kelii Taua, PhD "What the world needs now is love... here are some stories of how to live aloha." Alakai Paleka, The Morning goddess, KPOA Radio "Dip your feet into Wayne's warm world of cultural tidal pools and sweet aloha. You'll want to stay awhile." Keola Beamer, singer, author, composer, slack key master Born and raised on Maui, Wayne Moniz has taught writing on all levels, the "Dean of Maui Playwrights," by the Maui News.
