Yellow Ginger

 

'Awapuhi melemele is Hawaiian for Yellow Ginger, a beautiful, fragrant, common flower found here on the islands. My next novel, I'm still not sure of the title, has the sticky sweet smell of yellow Ginger as a central theme – it's a crime novel set in modern-day Honolulu. Many thanks to my friend Bradley Wong for the photograph. I think it will make a great cover – I hope to be published by March 2014.
