I have over one million published words to my credit. Some of them are contained in my three popular books on surfing: Good Things Love Water, Joyrides, and Kelea's Gift. Two years ago I co-authored a book for HarperOne: Hosoi, my life as a skateboarder, junkie, inmate, pastor. My other words appear in such diverse publications as the Los Angeles Times and Family Circle. Twilight in the City of Angels is a historical novel based in Los Angeles between 1940 and 1969. It is my first novel.
