It's possible to plot your next book while walking at sunrise through Waikoloa Village. Or at least you can try to patch up that hole in the plot of the book you're working on. The latte and the cookie waiting at Kohala Coffee spur you on.

Based on NY Times Bestselling author James Patterson’s #1 hero, Cross, the Amazon series, is a poorly rendered cop drama filled with bad acting, nonsensical plotting and confusing casting in which the brilliant hero frequently acts stupid, but he's not alone. The entire cast dumbs it down.

This petroglyph found on the shore near Waikoloa on the Big Island tells an age-old tale of one man killing another. A murder mystery carved in stone. Can we call this ancient rendering a short story, a novella, or a true crime report?

Ernest Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn visited Hawaii on their way to China in early 1941. Did a prize Marlin and a hunt for Bighorn sheep on the Big Island lead to a literary classic and the Nobel Prize? Ray Pace takes the reader on an unforgettable journey into the possibilities. bit.ly/4eOh6u4

Early in the morning in Waikoloa, a chorus of bird sounds greets the day: nenes, wild turkeys, itinerant roosters, Mynas, cardinals, and wild parrots. Writers and artists add to the picture of those meeting the sun.

Mickey Spillane: If the public likes you, you're good. Shakespeare was a down-to-earth writer. A ballplayer loses his arm. A writer, the older he gets, the better he writes. I'm a writer. Margaret Mitchell was an author. She wrote one book. First page sells the book. Last page sells your next book.

That elusive word missing from the NYT crossword is here on the fourth green at Waikoloa. Nenes, the endangered geese are doing well, watching golfers not do so well.
