LEHUA PARKER wanted to climb pyramids in Egypt and South America and translate hieroglyphics until she discovered zombie mummies in a comic book. Instead she grew up to write the kinds of stories she wished she could have found in her Hawaii school library, including the Niuhi Shark Saga trilogy, a story about two brothers, one a surfing star and the other allergic to water. You can usually find Lehua chained to her computer with her two writing dogs, Sam and Bo, begging for treats at her feet. Ever the optimist, she’s still looking for the door to Narnia and awaiting her letter to Hogwarts.
