Kekoa Lake

Kekoa Lake was born in Honolulu, Hawai'i, during the Year of the Fire Ram.

Post college, he worked for a local television station. As a hired writer, he slogged away at draft legislation, project finance, magazine copy and film scripts. As a filmmaker, he has worked on indie documentaries and short films. His own film, THE MEAL, enjoyed screenings at various film festivals in Hawai'i and around the Pacific.

In 2010, Lake wrote and published The Twentyfirsters, the first in a series of interconnected novels and novellas. This collection of thrillers and comedies follows the anguished existence of people cursed with unusual abilities. Foremost among them is Bon Carriker, the ex-federal agent who is blamed for killing a team of beloved superhumans. All the things that major publishers can't do to their cash cows, Lake's going to do to the Twentyfirsters.

Kekoa Lake lives in Hilo, Hawai'i, the home of the Merrie Monarch Hula Festival and the favored training destination of American mixed martial arts fighters. Go figure.
