Aloha to all my blog friends:
Monday morning in Sun City, California.
 I still have been unable to do as I promised, to write a blog every day. My sweetheart is doing well with recovering from hip replacement and fractured wrist but with physical therapy several times a week plus doctors and other appointments I often have run out of energy. I have also started to write a new novel completely different from Polynesian Dreams or most of my other writings. It is fiction, set in California's political arena and the characters employ pretty political incorrect and what some will label crude language filled with sexist overtones. Why? If you are going to create true to life characters you must let them act and speak true to their character. 
Now a warm thank you to everybody who has purchased my book from one of the E-book sellers. Most of you ordered from Kindle and I received my first check. I am donating the amount eventually to The Wounded Warrior project and to The Animal Friends of the Valley, the shelter from which we adopted our adorable Mieshe, our tabby girl cat.
Thanks you over and over, please do me one more small favor and write a review preferable on Amazon. It does not matter if it is critical, just be honest.
If you are interested in hours upon reading of war time in the Netherlands, where I was born on May 8, 1930, my adventures as a sailor and my coming to America and service as a MP and Criminal Investigator with the American Army in Germany. Also my road to addictions and bad behavior and my struggle to work my way back to health, happiness and financial security.
It is inspirational and whimsical but above all honest. 
You can read a few sample chapters at any E-book sellers. The E-book price is $3.79, the price of a cheap hamburger but it will give you hours of reading and perhaps something to think about. Polynesian Dreams on Kindle, Nook, Kobo, WaveCloud, Google e-books  and others.
It was nice chatting with you again. Visit my web site, www.polynesiandreams.com or write me at pokerbydutch@verizon.net. Johan Van Oldenbarneveld.
We lived in Waikiki and Kona, Hawaii for 12 years. This photo is 12 years old and in front of our townhouse in Kailua Kona, Alii Lani, We miss Hawaii and all our friends, I wrote a large portion of Polynesian Dreams sitting on my perch overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Mahalo Hawaii.
