Maui For Dummies

Cheryl Farr Leas may live on the mainland, but she's a Hawaii girl at heart. She fell in love with Diamond Head, aloha wear, and mai tais in 1994 and has had trouble staying away ever since. Whenever she's not on the islands, she and her husband, Rob, call Phoenix, Arizona, home. Before embarking on a writing career, Cheryl served as senior editor at Macmillan Travel (now Wiley) where she edited the Frommer's Hawaii travel guides for the better part of the 1990s. Now happy to be a globetrotting writer and consultant, Cheryl also writes Hawaii For Dummies.
