- **Event Name**: Come for the hula, stay for the cake at The Shark Prince Book Release Party!
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 10:00 am (-06:00)
- **Event Description**: IT'S A PARTY!!
FREE hula performance and cake (!!!)
Louisville Public Library (951 Spruce St, Louisville, CO 80027) (LOUISVILLE, not LAFAYETTE)
May 2 at 10 am 
celebrate Asian American Pacific Islander month and the launch of my 3rd book, The Shark Prince. I'll chat with a lovely local librarian about writing the story and read a bit of it. Bring the family! 

Book is geared toward readers 8+ (think Percy Jackson meets Moana) and is a Hawaiian-set action adventure about a boy with a fixed fate. THE SHARK PRINCE follows Nohea, who has always known that he is destined to follow in his absent father’s footsteps (or fins) and become the thing people, and his mother, fear most: a shark.

But before that happens, Nohea risks it all to join the school surfing team in hopes of winning enough to save his family's home. When surfers start to go missing, Nohea begins to fear he may be the reason why.

Hope to see you there!
