Kimo Mysteries
A Kimo short story, "Christmas in Honolulu," placed second in a "Bad Santa" contest sponsored by Mysterical-E, a mystery webzine. It was reprinted in December, 2006 in the anthology By The Chimney With Care, from Wolfmont Publishing. Christmas in Honolulu
"Refuge," published at Blithe House Quarterly, is Kimo's first appearance in print. He and his friend Gunter have gone camping on the Big Island, at Ho'okena Beach, near a place of refuge for the ancient Hawai'ians.
At last count, there are eleven more of the Kimo mysteries waiting for publishers.
The Amazon Shorts
Three of the Kimo stories are available through Amazon.com. They are:
  • "I Know What You Did." Kimo investigates the murder of a man killed outside a gay bar after a tea dance. Was it a gay bashing?
  • "Kelly Green." Kimo is asked to investigate why a man's gay son won't return to the islands from San Francisco.
  • The Price of Salt." An Indonesian diplomat is murdered in his hotel room using a ceremonial sword.
Kimo-Rotica
I don't get much chance to get Kimo into bed in the mystery novels; I try and focus on solving the crime. But I think sexual experimentation is a big part of the coming-out process, so I've been writing some stories I call Kimo-Rotica, which give Kimo a chance to get laid now and then. Here are some places where you can find these stories:
There's a Kimo story called "Paniolo" (which is the Hawai'ian word for cowboy) in the Cleis anthology Cowboys: Gay Erotic Tales. See what happens when he travels to the Big Island of Hawaii and hooks up with a paniolo, a Hawaiian cowboy.
Kimo gets recruited to help a flight attendant get rid of a persistent suitor in "Blowing It," a story in Hot Cops: Gay Erotic Stories, also from Cleis.
In "Island Ball," Kimo's assigned to special duty: bodyguard for a major league baseball player who's just come out of the closet. Find this story in Fast Balls, from Alyson.
Kimo's latest adventure between the sheets sends him and boyfriend Mike to Maui, where they indulge in some "Lomi-Lomi Massage." Read all about it in Alyson's anthology Island Boys: Tropical Gay Erotica. It'll be out in August 2008.
