The anthology, short fiction and poetry from 21 members of the Romance Writers of America's Aloha Chapter, isn't bound by any central theme but there is plenty of love to go around — for words, for imagination and, particularly, for Hawai'i.
Among the contributors are best-selling romance author and part-time Kaua'i resident Jill Marie Landis; Laureen Kwock, who publishes novels under the pen name Clarice Peters; and novelist Elizabeth Engstrom, director of the Maui Writers Retreat.
A reading and signing will be at 7 p.m. Friday at Encore Espresso in the 'Aina Haina Shopping Center.
