Hawaii is Romance
What is it about Hawaii that transforms anyone in love? Hawaii is Romance transports our starring couple to the 50th state in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. From around the world, visitors sojourn to The Aloha State to vacation, to wed, to honeymoon, and just to get away.

This book’s three stories extend the feeling of adventure and wonder to wind up as astonishing escapades. Diane Vann takes our couple on a scavenger hunt, in this gentle cross between The Amazing Race and Survivor; Kristopher Horton allows Maui to unfold for the starring hero and heroine during a special night on the town; and Jennifer Kalman inserts our couple into a mysterious legend that’s been settled at long last.

Missed Tryst by Geno Vincenzo
is a personalized detective novel that puts our couple in a hardboiled, film-noir detective novel where they’ve formed Gal and Guy Private Eye Agency.
Looking for some downtime from work-a-day stress, a romantic tryst at the Mystic Hotel in the metropolis of Capital City is all our couple wants. But upon arrival, their plan unravels when a series of mix-ups and botched meetings sends our couple down the road to danger, entangled in espionage, cut-throat deceit, and a secret that could threaten life on earth as we know it.
To get into this one, you’ll have to assume the roles of detectives. He is fashioned after the likes of gumshoe heroes Sam Spade from Dashiell Hammett’s Maltese Falcon, Phillip Marlowe in Raymond Chandler’s The Big Sleep, and Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer. Think Maddie Hayes (Cybill Shepherd) and David Addison (Bruce Willis) of TV’s Moonlighting.
There will be bumps, blood, bruises; male and female villains; cops and thugs; some rough language; and action, intrigue and romance.

Special Pages added to your book
For a very personal way to express your thoughts and feelings, you can add additional pages to any of our books or ebooks. On these Special Pages, you can write whatever you want, and we’ll lay it out so that it's in the same format as the rest of the book.
These Special Pages are perfect for any number of occasions:
• to propose;
• include a poem you've written;
• offer words of advice or sympathy;
• salute someone retiring;
• tell someone how very much you love them;
• commemorate a special occasion.
You can purchase as many pages as you want to say as much as you want.
The cost for this service is $25.00 per page, and one page consists of about 300 words — that’s about 30 lines with 8-12 words per line. You'll be surprised at how much you can fit onto one page. If you have a lot to say and need more than a couple of pages, we’d be happy to work something out with the pricing.
This is a special service that is not automated, so you and we will have to complete a couple of steps to make sure what you want to say appears in print the way you’d like it.
Here is the basic process for Special Pages:
1. Order a book or ebook online.
2. Order this service online. (either with your book order or separately)
3. Prepare the text you want inserted.
4. We’ll email or call you with instructions on how to submit your text.
This process will add more time to your book production — usually an extra day or two — but imagine the surprise your effort will create. There really is power in words.
