Question for any writers from Hawaii

First of all, hello, it's been a long time since I posted here. I got some helpful comments from some excerpts I posted awhile back (couple years ago, I think).

I recently self-published my novel in e-formats (kindle, epub, etc.) and I'm sitting down to collect info and decide on a plan of self-advertising. One of the pushes I want to start with is an island audience. My story is urban fantasy, but several characters are from Hawaii and part of the book takes place there.

While it gives a taste of life in Hawaii for the average reader, I think kama'ainas would get a kick out of seeing heroes who are just like them, who grew up just like them, and talk and behave alot like them.

I'm not a fan of message boards (not that I see anything wrong with them, I just don't spend much time online for anything social beyond email) so I only know of a few good resources like AW. But I wondered if anyone is part of groups or knows some good sites where local authors have discussions just to get a feel for how they do things, if there's anything unique to finding an audience in the 50th state. I don't live there anymore but I still visit family, so I'm thinking about visiting local book stores to see if it would be worth doing a small print run.

Any ideas would be appreciated, Mahalos!

Any good discussion boards or author's websites for writers in Hawaii, or who write about Hawaii?

Thanks, that might come in handy, I'll look over it tonight. I might have my family ask around locally, I was hoping there'd be online resources/blogs that were well known.
