Now serving time in federal prison, Louis Kealoha speaks publicly for the first time to journalist Mary Zanakis about his once-promising career and his fall from grace through the biggest public corruption case in Hawai‘i history. Join us this Saturday, Sept. 30 at Barnes & Noble Ala Moana starting at 2 p.m. for the book signing of Watermark Publishing’s newest title “Louis Looks Back: The Rise and Fall of Honolulu’s Top Cop.”

Like so many, our hearts are broken by the devastation on Maui. In 2019 we published Exploring Historic Maui by George Engebretson, Jill Engledow and Summer Kupau, a hardcover book offering a unique historical tour of the island. With its rare archival photos and locator maps, the book is a one-of-a-kind retrospective on Maui’s vibrant small towns, with a special focus on Lahaina’s family businesses and historic sites. Watermark Publishing is donating proceeds from book sales to the Hawaii Community Foundation’s Maui Strong Fund. Visit our website to purchase your copy and help support Maui’s relief and rebuilding efforts.

Ten years later, the ramifications of the Kealoha mailbox trial are still reverberating. Can't remember all the crazy details? Former public defender Alexander Silvert's revealing and insightful "The Mailbox Conspiracy" will have you exclaiming all over again: This can't be real.(?!?!) See what Silvert thinks of where the case has left us today in his Honolulu Civil Beat op-ed piece.

The Kealoha Mailbox Conspiracy: 10 Years Later, Where Are We Now? Real reform has been stymied by politicians who continue to believe that Hawaii corruption is just a few bad apples.

Mahalo to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser team for picking "Voices of Hawaii - Vol. 2" and "Wordsworth the Haiku Teacher" to include on this weekend's Summer Reading list!
