edit data

A child of two cultures, this kānaka maoli girl is currently living among the tulips and windmills of the Netherlands. She now fills her days with family and fiction under rainy Dutch skies. With a house full of lovable kids, a three-legged cat, and one handsome Dutchman, she prowls the keyboard late at night while the minions sleep. Coffee? Nah, she prefers tea with a generous spoonful of sarcasm.

Quotes by Anela Deen (?)

“We aren't defined only by our failures and sorrows. I'm starting to believe we're an assortment. A few big events, but countless smaller details. Little joys that carry us through the days, even when those days are bad.”

“Don't thank me yet. Your human looks decidedly stale. Have you given her any water?"

He frowned. "Why would I do that when there's water all around?"

"She can't ingest seawater, crustacean-head. Don't you know anything about landwellers?”
