Mahu Mystery Series

1. Mahu  (2005, 2009)
   Kimo Kanapa'aka doesn't know it yet, but his world is about to turn upside down. At 32, the hero of Māhū has reached the pinnacle of his profession, detective on the Honolulu Police Department's homicide squad, based at the Waikīkī station. But a difficult murder case, as well as turmoil in his personal life, is about to threaten everything he has worked for.  ¶A life-threatening drug bust in chapter 1 makes Kimo realize that it's time to stop lying to himself. He's drawn to the Rod and Reel Club, a gay bar in Waikīkī, where he has a couple of beers and begins the long process of accepting his attraction to other men. Leaving the club, though, he stumbles onto two men dropping a dead body in an alley, and he launches himself into a nightmare where his private life becomes public news.  ¶Kimo's pursuit of this case will take him from the seamy underside of Chinatown to the elegance of million-dollar homes in Maunalani Heights, from gay bars where young men stride naked down runways to bloody crime scenes.

2. Mahu Surfer (2007)
   Mahu is a generally negative Hawaiian term for homosexual, and for police detective Kimo Kanapa'aka, being gay doesn't make for an easy life. Especially when you're publicly outed. Now, semi-retired, Kimo must go undercover and stop a brutal killer. Already three surfers have been shot dead, and Kimo must infiltrate the close-knit surfing community, knowing his only way back to active duty is to catch a killer he may know all too well.

3. Mahu Fire (2008)
   Evil moves to paradise, as openly gay police detective Kimo Kanapa'aka battles an extreme religious group that opposes the idea of same-sex marriage. It begins with a simple shooting, but the danger intensifi es as Kimo strives to unmask a killer.

4. Mahu Vice (August 1, 2009 release)

   Eighteen months have passed since Honolulu homicide detective Kimo Kanapa’aka walked away from the blaze at the climax of Mahu Fire with fire inspector Mike Riccardi.

   
   Now, a year after a messy breakup, Kimo and Mike are forced to work together to solve an arson-homicide in which a Chinese teen was killed. Both of them struggle to put aside lingering emotions and focus on an investigation into prostitution, illegal immigration, and a repeated pattern of arson.
    

   The Mahu series has tracked Kimo from his coming out during the investigation of a difficult case (Mahu) to his first forays as a gay man on the North Shore of Oahu (Mahu Surfer) and then to his first serious relationship with another man (Mahu Fire.) In Mahu Vice, he must confront deadly killers and try to forge a new, stronger relationship with the man he loves.
   
   Mahu Vice is also a ripped-from-the-headlines look at sexual obsession, the criminal mind, and the price of life in paradise.

Non-fiction

• Paws and Reflect: Exploring the Bond Between Gay Men and Their Dogs (2000) with Sharon Sakson
  The truth is, our dogs are our children. We don’t have to straighten their teeth or send them to college, but we love them, feed them, groom them, sometimes even dress them up, just like we'd do with little boys and girls. Most dog owners, straight or gay, would probably feel the same way.
  
  Even though advances in society and social norms have made it more common for gay men to have human children, for many gay men, our dogs play an even more important role in our lives. They love us unconditionally; they comfort us when we are in pain; and because it's most likely that we will outlive them, they teach us to cope with loss.
  
  We decided to parlay our backgrounds-- Neil as a gay writer and dog owner, Sharon as a journalist, dog show judge and award-winning breeder of Whippets and Brussels Griffons-- to explore this connection. We asked talented writers to contribute their thoughts, and Sharon interviewed celebrities and ordinary men about their relationships with their dogs.
  
  With contributions by Alistair McCartney, Andy Zeffer, Brian McCormick, Charles Busch, David Mizejewski, Donald Hardy, Edward Albee, G. Russell Overton, Hal Campbell, J.R.G. DeMarco, Jack Morton, Jay Quinn, Jeffrey Ricker, Jonathan Caouette, Justin Rudd, Kevin Anderson, Lev Raphael, Matthew Phillips, Michael Wallerstein, Neil Plakcy, Randall McCormick, Randy Allgaier, Ron Nyswaner, Sharon Sakson, Stephen Kwielchek, Steve Berman, and Victor Banis
