Thirty years ago, she was appointed the editor for the Hawaiian Railway Society’s newsletter, Akahele I Ke Ka`aahi, and she’s been producing it ever since. It continues to be one of her favorite things to do.

Kerry Lorimer

After a summer driving Disneyland’s Monorail, Kerry (who was raised on O`ahu) worked at the Hawaiian Railway Society as a narrator and flagman, leaping off moving trains between spiels and racing into intersections to stop the flow of traffic so the train could cross. Nine lives later, she became hooked on writing when her first article was published in the magazine for the American Judo and Jujitsu Federation, Kiai Echo. A proud member of The Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi), she writes about snarky vampires under the pseudonym Scarlet Kay. The Unforgettable Boxcar is her first middle-grade book.
