About the Author :
Rick Carroll, author of many Hawaii books, is the creator of the bestselling Hawaii's Best Spooky Tales series. A former daily journalist at the San Francisco Chronicle, Carroll wrote award-winning travel and feature stories about Hawaii and the Pacific for the Honolulu Advertiser and United Press International. He is contributing editor to Hawaii Magazine. His stories appear on the Internet at www hawaii.rr.com. Marcie Rasmussen Carroll, freelance travel writer and former communications director for the Hawaii Convention and Visitors Bureau, earlier wrote political, environmental, and other news for the San Francisco Chronicle, San Jose Mercury-News and UPI in Atlanta. She was a Journalism Fellow in Asian studies at University of Hawai'i and in energy studies at Stanford University. Together, the Carrolls, who moved to Windward Oahu in 1983, collected and edited Travelers Tales Hawaii: True Stories of the Island Spirit, which an anthology one reviewer praised as "the best collection of contemporary Hawaii travel stories." They are also the authors of the extensively revised and rewritten second edition of the Unofficial Guide to Hawaii.
