Guests

Our speaker today was recent returnee to our club, Emmeline dePillis who spoke to us about her writing alter ego Frankie Bow as previously promised during her recent vocational talk.  In addition to being the interim Dean at the UH-Hilo Colleges of Business and Economics, Emmeline has published multiple fiction murder-mystery books, some of them set locally.  The characters are not based on her at all they are intentionally more "out there" than a normal person.
 
Her work is available on Amazon or her website: https://mahinastate.org/
