Autorenporträt

Creator and Co-Author of the Be Manaful Series.

Native Hawaiian author Dorimalia Waiau found inspiration for the Be Manaful series in the most unexpected of places: the upheaval of the global Covid pandemic. A high school Language and Arts teacher, she saw first-hand how the after effects of coronavirus on her community badly impacted the wellbeing of her pupils. Recognising that these feelings of sadness, fear, and isolation must be shared by young people around the world, Dorimalia was stirred into action, determining to write a novel that would encourage readers not to feel like victims of circumstance but 'brave souls' ready to face the challenges that life presents.

The result was The Secret Club and the Manafuls, a young adult novel that not only entertains but kindles hope and joy, sharing timeless and inspirational truths. Having worked with children for more than two decades, Dorimalia knows well the many problems that they must contend with issues such as abuse, neglect, bullying, social anxiety, depression, and fear of rejection. Countering this, the Be Manaful series so-named because, in the Hawaiian language, 'mana' means 'power' promotes positive themes of self-healing, forgiveness, self-acceptance, and self-love, as well as fostering a respect for nature and concern for protecting the environment. Through the adventures of the Secret Club, Dorimalia imparts the important lesson that we all have untapped potential and that it is OK to take time to unlock this and discover who we truly are. With courage and determination, we can all find our inner strength and become manaful.

Having penned and published her first novel, The Secret Club and the Manafuls entirely by herself, Dorimalia will be co-authoring the remaining books in the Be Manaful series with her "brother by heart", Easa Mohamed. And with eight books planned in total, with one released on September 4th each year, there will be many opportunities to become an honorary member of the Secret Club, join their incredible adventures, and be manaful.
