His humorous takes on life and the people he meets are always off-kilter and interesting. -Incredible Variety of Stories and Settings - From fishing on the island of the Kauai, to growing up in an island paradise, picking pineapples over the summer, heading to the mainland US for the very first time, hitchhiking across the country, and ultimately becoming embroiled in the Vietnam war as a Marine, you'll be amazed at the incredible depth and breadth of Pineapple Sam's adventures. -Witty and Humorous Take on an Adventurous Life - Even in the darkest of settings, Pineapple Sam's incredible presence and vivaciousness shines through.

About the Author: Pineapple Sam is the main character-the hero, if you will-who embodies the life and times and tales of Ismael "Sam" Tabalno. He grew up on the shores of Kauai, the northernmost of the Hawaiian Islands, and later ventured out into the world to embark on his many fascinating adventures. Pineapple loves to "talk story," as they say in the Islands, and has written his stories down for posterity, so his family, relatives, friends, and readers like you can share and marvel in his adventures. To My Readers I am known as Pineapple Sam. I have always enjoyed telling stories about my life experiences to my friends or anyone who would listen. More often than not, these tales revolve around something that happened to me personally. This allows me to express the true sentiment and feeling behind the story and, consequently, allows you to experience each moment in a way that cannot be found in a fictional story. I have found that stories are more compelling if they come straight from the horse's mouth. It's always been easy for me to find adventures in life. The difficult part is writing about those many adventures, but I promised myself that I would leave stories behind so people can enjoy them and so that my loved ones will have some idea of Pineapple Sam's life. My adolescent and teenage years were exciting times, but things have been just as interesting in my adult life. Many people have told me they enjoy hearing my stories, so I am glad to share the chapters of my life journey as long as I can. I am sure your own life has been just as exciting, or perhaps your future years will be just as colorful. As the youngest son in a large family of ten-my parents, my four sisters, my three brothers, my parents, and me-I grew up observing my siblings, and I learned a lot from them. As the brat of the family, I had more freedom to investigate things and gain many of my own experiences. If you are like me, you know what I am talking about. As you read the following books and glimpse into the events that have comprised my early chapters of my life, perhaps you'll see some of the same themes running through your own growing years. If you are just beginning your personal journey of teenage dilemmas that lead into adult life, then this may be a reminder of what could occur in your life too. As I already mentioned, all of my stories are based on actual events as I remember them. Some may consider this a book of fiction; others will categorize it as creative nonfiction.
