THE PRINCE OF WALES by Hawaiian writer Kirby Wright

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 4, 2009 -- Lemon Shark Press is pleased to announce the publication of THE PRINCE OF WALES by Kirby Wright on Amazon's Kindle.

If you didn't get enough of the Brothers Gill in PUNAHOU BLUES and MOLOKA'I NUI AHINA, here's your chance to reconnect.

The setting is the grandmother's mountain property and we tag along on the hunt for a buck. It starts with Ben firing his new rifle across Kainalu Valley, from a perch above Brownie's Gulch, at a deer on the opposite ridge.

"The Prince of Wales" is what the grandmother calls Ben because she thinks his parents spoiled him and, because he has the mother's blonde hair and good looks.

The trek down through the valley is interesting historically—the brothers discover the huge wall the Ancient Hawaiians built to designate land divisions.

Good descriptions of a rugged landscape, you can tell the author was influenced by Hemingway.

KIRBY WRIGHT was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. He is a graduate of Punahou School in Honolulu and the University of California at San Diego. He received his MFA in Creative Writing from San Francisco State University, where he studied under the tutelage of Frances Mayes. Wright has been nominated for two Pushcart Prizes and is a past recipient of the Ann Fields Poetry Prize, the Academy of American Poets Award, the Browning Society Award for Dramatic Monologue, and Arts Council Silicon Valley Fellowships in Poetry and The Novel. BEFORE THE CITY, his first book of poetry, took First Place at the 2003 San Diego Book Awards. Wright is also the author of the companion novels PUNAHOU BLUES and MOLOKA’I NUI AHINA, both set in Hawaii. He will be joining Pulitzer Prize winner Gary Snyder as Hawaii’s representative at the 2009 International Writers Conference in Hong Kong.
