Mystery
Former newspaper reporter Jennifer K. Morita believes a good story is like good mochi - slightly sweet with a nice chew.
Her debut mystery, GHOSTS OF WAIKĪKĪ, won the 2025 Left Coast Crime Lefty Award for Best Debut Mystery and was an Agatha, Anthony and Macavity award finalist. It’s about an out-of-work journalist who reluctantly becomes the ghost writer for a controversial developer. When she stumbles into murder - and her ex - she discovers coming home to paradise can be murder.
Jennifer is a writer for University Communications at Sacramento State. She lives in Sacramento with her husband and two teenage daughters. When she isn’t plotting murder mysteries or pushing Girl Scout cookies, she enjoys reading, experimenting with recipes, Zumba, and Hot Hula.
