The Shepherd Series:
The series starts in Hawaii when Steve Jeremiah meets Heather Shepherd and her family.
The setting:
Most of the first two books take place in Hawaii. Because most of the characters are locals, there is quite a bit of Hawaii culture in the books. Each book has a glossary to help those who might not understand some of that culture. I've included the glossary here on the website. On my Facebook page, I've also posted pictures of where some of the scenes take place.
The action splits between Hawaii and the Mainland, specifically Chicago, Illinois, and Eastern Missouri, in the third and fourth books. Almost the entire fifth book is set in the St. Louis area.
Warning! There may be some mild spoilers in the book descriptions.
