I’m Jill Engledow, an author in love with Maui history, and I write books to share that love with you.

For years, I’ve written nonfiction about Maui, from news stories to books. Now I’ve written novels using what I’ve learned about this “world’s best island” to tell tales from earlier generations. All three books of The Maui Trilogy are now available. Please explore this website to learn more about the novels and about my nonfiction books.

Take care and keep reading!

NEW! The Maui Trilogy

Shop Jill Engledow’s new releases. You can read these three novels in any order. A Dollar and Love ties together the other two, but they all stand alone as individual books. From Rose McKenzie’s memories of the early 20th century and courage during World War II to Carrie Ann Emerson’s struggles in the “hippie days” of the 1970s, these books tell stories of Maui history you will find nowhere else.

Get an Excerpt from Haleakala: A History of the Maui Mountain

I spent a decade researching this book, learning about Maui’s magical mountain and the people who have loved it. I dug through Haleakala National Park files and picture collections, interviewed old timers, read historical accounts of crater trips and characters, and wandered the park and its trails in person.

This excerpt includes stories and vintage photos of the Louis von Tempsky family, famous for their colorful lifestyle, gracious hospitality and malama (care) for the land.
