| Laurie Hanan Author of Louise Golden mysteries |
Today,
I am “Paying It Forward” to Laurie with a huge “MAHALO” for her tremendous support
and camaraderie. Over the past five years, she has readily answered my many questions
and volunteered her time often, without hesitation. In a profession that could
easily become more competition than mutual encouragement, Laurie's willingness to help others stands out.
Does
she offer sympathy when I am feeling insecure in my writing? Not! Her advice is
more on the order of, “Yup, we’ve all been there. Get over it.” Okay, then.
Laurie
Hanan is the author of the Louise Golden Mysteries set in Hawai‘i. She recently
published STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN, the fourth novel in the series. On September 24,
she will hold a gathering and “talk story” session for this novel. Here is her open invitation:
You are invited to an evening of drinks (no alcohol!) pupus,
and talking story about my latest novel, Stairway to Heaven.
Thursday September 24, 6:30 - 8 pm
Villages of Kapolei Recreation Center, in the conference
room
Excerpts of reviews for STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN:
***** "This novel reads like today's headlines." Goodreads review
***** "Laurie Hanan’s newest novel, Stairway
to Heaven, is an action-packed story that takes her heroine, mail carrier
Louise Golden, to new heights of adventure. Great characters make a great
story. This one’s a very entertaining read, and I couldn’t put it down."
A.K. Gunn, author of If Pigs Could Cry and The Honey Bee
***** "Hanan adds subtle humor to the
mix, making this a quick read, not the light beach kind but the tension-filled
fast moving kind that keeps you reading to learn what happens next. Caution:
When you climb the Stairway To Heaven, be sure to watch your step." Gail
Baugniet, author of the Pepper Bibeau mysteries
***** "Mild mannered Louise Golden, intrepid
mail carrier, is once again pushed into the middle of a mystery almost too
bizarre to believe." Greg Field, author if Red Dirt, White Bones
***** "Laurie Hanan spins the reader forward
and ends with a satisfying thump. A really fun, fast-paced, mystery
that's made all the more enjoyable by Laurie's knowledge and description of the
O'ahu setting." JoAnn Bassett, author of the Pali Moon mysteries
