Splitting their time between the Mainland and Hawaiʻi, Makana grew up on beaches and in snowbanks. Always a scientist at heart, Makana fell in love with sci-fi as a teen–they even led the science fiction and fantasy interest house at their college. A writer from childhood, fiction became the perfect medium for them to explore their interests as well as reconnect with their culture, coalescing into a passion for diverse sci-fi. They love writing multicultural settings and queer characters, as well as imagining what the future might look like for historically marginalized communities. In their free time, Makana likes to hoard dice for their Dungeons \u0026amp; Dragons games, experiment in the kitchen, defeat bosses with their guildmates, and get way too invested in reality competition shows. They currently live on the East Coast with their wife and two cats.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Book Archive","offers":[{"title":"New - Paperback","offer_id":49978059915581,"sku":"","price":24.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/0831\/3917\/files\/81y6KgE60TL._SL1500.jpg?v=1741283899"},{"product_id":"juniors-kaui-hart-hemmings-pre-loved","title":"Juniors - Kaui Hart Hemmings (Pre-Loved)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLea Lane has lived in between all her life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePart Hawaiian, part Mainlander. Perpetual new girl at school.
