writing teacher, Tom Peek lived his early life on Minnesota’s Upper Mississippi
River. After hitchhiking by boat through the South Seas, he settled on Hawaiʻi
Island three decades ago. There he’s been, among other things, an astronomy and
mountain guide on Mauna Kea, an eruption ranger and exhibit writer on Kilauea,
and an insider participant in the efforts to protect both sacred volcanoes. In
praising his award-winning debut novel, Daughters of Fire, Maile
Meyer, founder of Honolulu’s Native Books/Nā Mea Hawai‘i, said, “Peek’s
understanding of place, culture, and current issues is deep and respectful
without being heavy-handed.” The Contemporary Pacific Journal called
him “a storyteller extraordinaire, cut from an older cloth seldom seen today.” view less
