# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Words and Wine Author Event
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 03 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Kona Stories is thrilled to welcome back two beloved, nationally recognized Hawaiʻi authors for a special Words & Wine evening celebrating their powerful new novels.

Sara Ackerman returns with The Shark House, a haunting mystery set on the Kohala coast that blends suspense, grief, and humanity’s fragile relationship with the natural world. Named a BookBub Best Books Coming This Winter, the novel follows marine biologist Minnow Gray as she confronts a series of shark attacks—and a long-buried personal trauma.

Joining her is Jasmin Iolani Hakes, presenting The Pōhaku, a sweeping, intergenerational novel about family, cultural responsibility, and the enduring bond between people and land. From the award-winning author of Hula, this richly layered story spans Hawaiʻi and California and has been praised for its depth, resilience, and emotional power.

Both authors are longtime friends of Kona Stories and hometown favorites. Join us for an evening of readings, conversation, community, and book signings.

Free and open to the public.
