We are pleased to announce the third issue of our Online Literary Review Latitudes
Aloha kākou, e komo mai,
Welcome to the third edition of Latitudes, Hawai’i Writers Guild’s online journal. We are pleased, once again, to offer selected writings by many of our members. The breadth of talent our members possess continues to impress and delight me. I hope these selections across several genres are able to give you many hours of reading pleasure. Perhaps one or more of these pieces will introduce you to a genre you have not read before but may now find intriguing enough for further exploration. You can find out more about each of our authors and their works by checking out their biographies on this website.
Why not make yourself a cup of Kona coffee (or any of our other excellent varieties), climb into an available hammock strung in the shadows of gently swaying palms (virtually if not physically), and enjoy an hour or two lost in someone else’s reality.
Manaʻo mākou e hauʻoli ʻoe,
Carol McMillan
President of Hawai’i Writers Guild
