Book excerpt: Maui's rich history and culture are the foundation of these new, original short stories by Maui's award-winning author/playwright. Under Maui Skies, and Other Stories presents seven Maui tales in different genres set in a variety of Maui locales ranging in time from pre-contact Hawai`i to the 1960s. In The Cave of Whispering Spirits, a couple and family face the wrath of the goddess of fire, Pele, in the last eruption of Haleakala. That legend is followed by The Cruel Sun, the true story of a love affair in Old Lahaina and the demons that haunt them - alcoholism and missionaries. Under Maui Skies, the title story, is a western set in 1908 Kula and Kama`ole where an ordinary ranchworker is enlisted by the local sheriff to trail and report on the activities of an opium dealer called Albert Devil. The action changes in Aloha `Oe, E Ku`uipo (Goodbye, Sweetheart) when a money-strapped Wailuku detective takes on the case of a femme fatale. A rainbow of multiracial usual suspects is under the microscope in this island style homage to Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. A soldier in 1942 Pa`ia and Kihei previews, in a Twilight Zone world, the horrors of World War II at Guadalcanal in Aunty Becky's Tavern. Hawaiian culture and science fiction blend in An Island Beyond Hokule`a. A diaspora from a war-ravaged planet use the universal porthole of Haleakala in search of someone who will take a philosophy of aloha to their new home at the edge of the galaxy. The final story, Climbing Woman, a ghost story, tells the sad legend of a young woman who spirals into depression and eventually death - later sighted as the legendary White Lady who haunts `Iao Valley. Moniz's fresh voice and cadence captures the flavor of the islands and their history, using these traditional storytelling genres.
