LCKW-2ndwaveLimageIt’s here—launch day for my fifth book-length fiction, Torn Roots.

Torn Roots joins the Lei Crime Kindle World, a set of short stories, novelettes and novellas based on characters, settings and situations created by bestselling author Toby Neal in her Lei Crime series.

The series is about Hawaiian police detective and sometimes FBI agent Leilani Texeira. Neal has published nine books in the series, as well as “companion” novels about other characters in the main books.

In April, eight other authors published books in the Lei Crime Kindle World. Today, that world gets bigger with six new books, two by author who wrote for the first wave.

Torn Roots features as a main character Pono Kaihale, Lei’s former police partner. Other characters from Toby Neal’s work include Pono’s wife, Tiare, and their children, as well as Lei’s best friend, FBI Special Agent Marcella Scott.

New characters include a brilliant Hawaiian geologist named Sam and a fiery environmentalist from away, Rowan, plus a new FBI Special Agent named Vanessa Storm, a woman who never gets tricked by a lie.

There are fires, chases through the jungle, a volcano and the unmatched beauty of Maui.
