Welcome to my site. In these pages you'll find out more about me and about my books - inspirational fiction primarily centered around the Shepherd Ohana. Yes, they live in Honolulu, as did I until this past November. In the first few books (and, of course, in the Hilo Suspense series) there are scenes set in beautiful places in Hawaii, a bit of local flavor and a touch of Hawaiian pidgin. The books have been well received, by both kamaaina and malihini.
In the fourth book, the primary location shifts from Hawaii to Missouri, with Oklahoma the primary setting for the second book of The Ohana Project. Other books in progress are set in other states, but The Ohana Project is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, so almost every book has at least some scenes in Missouri. And since the primary family is from Hawaii, that island paradise keeps popping up too.
If you like to read and you're even remotely interested in God and godly living, then I think we have a beautiful friendship ahead of us! I love to write and I especially love to write about people who want a closer walk with God. My main characters don't always start out very well, and they don't always finish strong, but they do learn something in the journey. They're kind of like me!
In my books, you'll find a lot of discussions about God and the bible. Of course I hope you agree with me (and that we're both right) but if you don't agree with me, that's okay too. There are a lot of things in the bible that are rather ambiguous, things that theologians have been arguing for centuries. (See A Gilded Sky, pages 173 for one of them – soteriology, the study of the mechanics of salvation.) I hope that when you do disagree with me, you do it because you’ve thought about it for yourself and searched the scriptures for the truth, not just accepted it because you were taught it in church. (Here’s a deep, dark church secret – preachers and teachers are sometimes wrong!) When you do have a question, please don’t hesitate to email me at cheryl@cherylokimoto.com.
In this website, you can find out about my books, especially the characters. I hate "spoilers" so I'll try to make sure I include warnings where information is potentially a spoiler.

Please bear with me as I work on the technological aspects of this site. I'm a writer, not a web designer. As you will see when you navigate through the site, I know enough to be dangerous. I can't figure out the deeper mysteries of template layouts, so some of my objects tend to wander around on the page. I'll get it worked out eventually! In the meantime, enjoy my forte - writing.
