Toby Neal Book Event On KAUAI!

First one since COVID, and on my home island!

This bookstore is iconic and doing an event there is a dream come true.

Dear Readers! Woohoo! I’m excited!

I’m going to Kauai this spring on an epic personal journey to write the last third of the PASSAGES memoir that will be (partly) built on these journey posts you’ve been following. Founding Members who support this newsletter get a mention in the PASSAGES book, and a FREE copy when it comes out!

If you follow my other social media, you might have seen some announcements about this upcoming trip I have planned.

April 27-May 10, I’ll be staying on the North Shore of Kauai and re-visiting some of my old stomping grounds from growing up there as documented in my first memoir, FRECKLED—and I’ll be writing the conclusion of the trilogy I began with that book and will conclude with PASSAGES.

And along the way, I’ll be doing a book event! 😁

Meet me on May 5 from 5-8 pm in Hanapepe at the wonderful TALK STORY BOOKSTORE.

I’ll be signing copies available for sale of FRECKLED, TORCH GINGER, BLOOD ORCHIDS, and OPEN ROAD—and answering questions about whatever’s on your mind!

You’ll also get to experience Hanapepe town’s colorful Friday ART NIGHT, complete with hula dancers!

Hanapepe’s Friday ART NIGHT is a thing! I’m lucky to be a part of it on MAY 5 2023.

All the details are on this FB event page link HERE. Wooohooo!

My talented and amazing novelist friend Holly Robinson will also be there, so if you have any of her books, bring them along to be signed!

Anyway, I know it’s a remote corner of the world, but if you already live there or feel led to take a trip…here’s your excuse for a visit to darling Hanapepe on Kauai in spring.

Pass this on if you think a friend might enjoy!
