Kathy McCartney originally lived on Oahu with her family but moved to Southern California when she was very young. In 2002, she bought a condo that would eventually become the launching point of her business career and the key to getting back to the home of her childhood and the place of her dreams, Maui, Hawaii. Prior to making that decision she had been working with friends in a vacation rental business and made the leap to start her own company. She has over twenty-five years of experience in both business administration and customer service. She merged her business ideas with her artistic and free-spirited hopes and dreams that would eventually be realized. She now lives on Maui and is living her dream as a local artist, writer and owns a vacation rental business Maui Vision Rentals: http://mauivision.com. She is a gifted artist who creates on canvas but most recently expanded her creative tropical expressions to include works on etched metal. Those one-of-a-kind pieces are described as 3-D or holographic, with movement and a life of their own.

The Maui Magical Mystical Tour is Kathy’s first novel and certainly will not be her last as we know this book will inspire and touch the hearts of many readers that will want more of Kathy's 'feel good' storytelling based on her true life experiences.
