Dark to Dark

Shorter Winter days make for starting the day in the dark and ending it in the dark. that's true even here in Hawaii and if its pelting rain at the same time, it ain't fun. Had a bunch of that lately but you, My Lovely Tourists (MLT's) just keep on coming and because you(they) do I"ll keep on pitching my tents. I've been branding myself as a storyteller under the name "Papanui the Storyteller." I currently have two hardbound Children's books that continue to sell very well and the third is about ready.
It takes money to put a book together and get it distributed so I've joined the new Social Network known as People String. Its like Facebook on steroids. I think you could be interested in joining it too. Here's a link: http://www.papastring.intuitwebsites.com/

Enjoy and Happy New Year Everyone

Hi Folks,

I've decided on my new book which will be geared more to adults in that it is photographic in content. Each page when turned reveals a new view of this very wise tree. The facing pages contain a verse of poetic text (an ode) about the picture being viewed. I've been testing "my lovely tourists" and the response has been tremendous with pending order requests already.
This book will be published under my own company this time. Should be ready in time for Christmas. There will be approximately 36 photographs and 36 pages of poetic text. You'll really love it. I promise.

Lots of Aloha!

Just a great day. Total of 11 sales to all "My Lovely Tourists." Very grateful.

Papanui's overdue update

I know how badly overdue I am. All kinds of things have happened. Wailoa and Kukui sales have now exceeded 900 units so that's a fantastic 130 units per month, 90% of which came through the Papanui the Storyteller site location of NorthShore, Oahu, Hawaii. We're slower starting with Giovanni and Scampi the Shrimp but we are over 100 units in two months. Awesome.
The Shrimp stand is now a brand new pavillion and still pulling like crazy. Thank you all "My Lovely Tourists" (MLT's). I'm now a double wide tent display with an under the sea scene for my backdrop. Christmas is not too far away and as of today I can take credit cards on site and you can paypal through my website as well at www.papanuithestoryteller.com

"Lots of Aloha!"

Giovanni & Scampi at the printer
See, I told you we were at print. We are hoping that this book will do as well as "Wailoa & Kukui." I guess I'll still be counting on my LT's to keep pulling us through. A word about where I'm located. A rather nondescript place, but that of course is it's charm...
