\nAloha, I’m J.E. Trent, and I write Hawaii action adventure books. I’ve lived on the island of Hawaii since 1996. During that time I’ve met some fascinating characters. Some of them I’ve used in my books as good guys. And some of them as bad guys.\n\nI blog on my website jetrentbooks.com about real events that have happened in Hawaii that I’ve used for inspiration for the books I write.\n\nBefore becoming an author, I was a mechanic that specialized in brake and suspension work for close to forty years. I owned my shop in Kona for over twenty of those years.\n\nI’ve scuba dived the Kona coast, explored the lava flows of the Kilauea volcano, and hiked the rainforest. I’ve been privileged to see things here that most folks never get to experience in their lives and I feel obligated to try and share it with you in my stories.\n\nFor example, snorkeling with manta rays is practically a spiritual experience, one of my upcoming novels will include them in a murder that takes place near my main character’s house next to Keauhou Bay.\n\nMahalo for stopping by.\n\nA Hui Hou,\nJ.E.
