Hawaii as a setting
 By Myla Jackson
As a setting for a cop story, it was perfect. A city teeming with life, surfers, homeless and tons of tourists is bound to have some crime. In comes my sexy Hawaiian cop to the rescue. Broad shoulders, dark skin, black hair and brown-black eyes. Yeah, man! Have you ever been to Hawaii? Is it in your bucket list? If not, it should be! Loved, loved, loved it! PRIZE ALERT***Be sure to check out www.mylajackson.com for the great contests running this month. Lots of books to give away! Post a comment here listing one of the contests on my website and you could win a download of one of my backlist e-books. So while you’re on my site, think about which of my backlist you’d like to win! 17 Responses to “Hawaii as a setting” |

I just finished writing a novella for the 2009 COPS Anthology for Kensington. Boy it went fast! I started last Monday and finished yesterday! Woohooo! I chose for my setting Honolulu, Hawaii on the island of Oahu since I had the good fortune to visit there during June of this year. Wow! What fun! It’s a thriving city full of excitement, night life and Waikiki Beach in the downtown area. With the view of the Pacific Ocean and the rocky peak of Diamond Head, you can’t beat the location. I’m ready totally ready to go back and explore the other islands of Hawaii. We had a week there and drove all over visiting Dole pineapple plantation visitor center, the Polynesian Cultural Center, Pearl Harbor and the filming locations of such movies as Jurassic Park, Pearl Harbor 
and 50 First Dates. I loved the lush windward side of Oahu as much as the action-packed Waikiki side.

I have never been to Hawii but it is on my bucket list. I have known people that have taken a Hawii cruise and loved it. I only heard of one person saying that they would have rather just stayed on one island.

I love Hawaii. My husband and I were married on Maui seven years ago. Went to Oahu in ‘02 and desperately want to go back! Someday…
This is why I like to read books set in Hawaii. Makes me feel like I’m there. :mrgreen:

I’ve been working on the Raven Scavenger Hunt this week, can’t believe all the great prizes lined up for this one.
I went on a family vacation to Maui many moons ago, and had a blast.

I have super fair skin that burns in like 2 seconds, so I’m not really sure if Hawaii is the destination for me ;- ) I am also really enjoying the Allure Authors contest that you have on your website, lots of chances to win, and some really great excerpts from some talented ladies to read too!
