Today is an auspicious day! (And not just because it’s 22.02.2022)

After about 18 months of recording, editing, and mastering… ALL THREE VOLUMES OF TEN THOUSAND HOURS IN PARADISE are now available as audiobooks on Audible & just about everywhere else audiobooks are sold!

Full disclosure: this was my “pandemic project,” and now that it’s done, I’m going to be redirecting my focus to helping these stories of ALOHA reach as many people as possible, and that *includes* the Tropical Sci-Fi! Part of that is starting a podcast that you can help shape, but more on that later.

I want to put out a huge MAHALO to my small, but very helpful beta-listener team. Mahalo nui loa! I’m so happy with what we co-created together.

It took a LOT of work to narrate these over 20+ finished hours of storytelling, but I know these audiobooks will inspire people for years to come.

A recent review (I’m seriously humbled):

Andrew is an adventurer in every sense of the word. He not only beautifully and poetically brings the reader along with him as he traverses the varied land he explores, he opens his heart and mind to possibilities where few venture to go.

As the reader we are fortunate that Andrew has such a poetic way with words. He writes as he lives life, full heartedly. This book continues to follow his experiences on Hawaii, follows a new love in his life, and where the many paths lead him. I could not put down any of the three books in this trilogy and I was sad when the story finally ended as I had thoroughly enjoyed every minute of them and didn’t want the story to end.

Andrew is a unique and very likable person who the reader can’t help but feel connected to through his writing and thirst to squeeze everything he can out of life. Mahalo Andrew for the wonderful books. 5-stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

p.p.s. Some of my Hawaii friends may be especially interested because they make appearances in the book itself! I’m thinking about launching the book on the Big Island when I go back next year, and I’d love for you to be a part of that 🙂
