The Bunkers: A Big Huna Novel
Om denne e-boken
Picking up where Spam Sushi left off, this outrageous crime caper follows the adventures of the Bunkers, a mischievous crew of seven, ten-year-old boys who are back in business. Peddling dried seaweed as pot to tourists in Waikiki is their usual hustle, but when a purse-snatching escapade turns up a kilo of crystal meth instead of cash, their lives take a hilarious and dangerous turn. Selling seaweed as pot is easy, but offloading a kilo of ice? That's a whole other can of worms, especially when you're only ten years old.
Enter the Weasel, a colorful forty-year-old surfer with a shady past, who seems like the perfect solution to offload the ice. Except unfortunately, it seems the ice belongs to the ruthless North Korean Mafia. Now, the Bunkers are on the run, pursued by gangsters with serious intent. Can these pint-sized entrepreneurs outrun the mob and avoid a permanent dirt nap? Buckle up for a hilarious, action-packed ride through the neon jungle of Waikiki, where the only thing more dangerous than the streets are the ten-year-old gangsters who rule them.
This darkly funny nostalgic crime heist is the second installment in the Big Huna series. It’s a wild ride you won't soon forget!

Ralph Griffith: A Life Lived in Ink
Ralph Griffith is an intriguing American author with a life story that reads like a gripping novel itself. Born in 1951 during the Cold War, his childhood antennae were acutely tuned to the dissonance between reality and government narratives. This skepticism blossomed into a rebellious spirit, finding its zenith during the electrifying Summer of Love. Imagine Ralph’s heart pulsing to the rhythm of the Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead, his soul resonating with the counterculture’s whirlwind in the Haight-Ashbury District of San Francisco, where he had escaped to.
Destiny, however, had other plans. A brush with LSD at 16 landed Ralph in the Nevada Youth Authority—a crucible he promptly escaped--his restless spirit yearning for new adventures. This escape coincided with the tragic assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy, events that indelibly marked the canvas of his youth. Ralph became an unwitting witness to history, his life forever intertwined with these pivotal moments.
Fast forward to his thirties, and a different kind of confinement beckoned. Ralph’s foray into bank robbing led to over 30 years navigating the stark realities of incarceration. Yet, even within those prison walls, his spirit refused to be caged. It was there, amidst the clanging of cell doors and the harsh hum of fluorescent lights, that he discovered a new path--writing. His final 14-year stretch became a literary genesis.
Fueled by a desire to reclaim his narrative, Ralph poured his experiences onto the page. Seven years spent alongside Bernie Madoff at FCI Butner became the raw material for a gripping exposé. Titles like “Monkey House” and “The Real Bernie Madoff” offered scathing indictments of financial corruption. But Ralph’s imaginative prowess also shines through in various series, including “The Harry Chin Murder Mysteries,” “The Johnny Walker Detective Novels,” “The Clyde Thomas Novels,” “The Too-Sweet Sagas,” and “The Big Huna Novels.”
Today, Ralph resides in the Pacific Northwest, surrounded by the tranquil beauty of Washington state’s landscapes. Yet, the ink coursing through his veins still carries the vibrancy of those early days in San Francisco. His life’s adventures, as unconventional as they may be, have endowed him with a wealth of stories yet to be told. And Ralph with his relentless spirit and boundless creativity, is just beginning to weave these tales into the rich tapestry of his burgeoning literary legacy.
