Beaverton, OR -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/27/2015 -- Over fifty groundbreaking years, Max Freedom Long immersed the world in the ancient beliefs of Hawaiians. From the extraordinary healing powers of the Kahunas to their belief system that links with ancient Egypt, these once-secretive gifts were offered to society through Long's 'Huna' New Age movement. While rapidly being glossed over by the 21st century, the work of Long and the wisdom it unleashes is being brought back under the spotlight through a wholly-unique novel by Allen Pollens.

'CONVERSATIONS with FOUNDER of HUNA: A Tale of Time Travel and Ancient Kahuna Self-Help' wraps everything up into a Sci-Fi thriller unlike anything else on the market. From pursuing Krills with a streak of vengeance to travelling the length of Hawaii through hundreds of stunning images, readers can finally immerse themselves in all Huna has to offer right from their own armchair.

Synopsis:

Freelance writer Maureen Connor is in Honolulu with husband, Dr. Vincent Pommel, who is attending a psychology conference. Coming from the USA east coast, Vincent has expanded this once-in-a-lifetime visit to paradise into a four-week holiday visit to the four major islands.

On the return from the first day at the conference, Vincent presents Maureen with the first two books written by Max Freedom Long, the founder of Huna. She is immediately fascinated and eager to research the life of the author. They develop a plan that includes sightseeing during the day and Maureen's investigations in the evenings. The situation becomes yet more intriguing when they are joined during their time in Hawaii by Hawaiian native, Kamahele.

Kamahele is a kahuna with an inherited secret ability to travel into the past to ponder its secrets. His partnership with Maureen can facilitate visits with Max Freedom Long at significant points in Max's life. These conversations will be an invaluable addition to the book she will be able to write titled, "Conversations with Max Freedom Long."

Kamahele's secret capability must remain hidden and necessitates the secrecy of Maureen's project while she and husband Vincent are in Hawaii. This proceeds according to plan until the Krills appear on the scene. Tony Krill with younger siblings, George and Bridget, takes the lead as they wander Waikiki and nearby locations in search of attractive opportunities. They never give up once they find something. Convinced that Maureen, Vincent and Kamahele are hiding something significant, the Krills pursue them doggedly, even following them to the other islands. Confrontations give way to temporary truces and tempers flare.

It all results in a dreadful accident that nearly costs Maureen her life and in an unexpected Huna-kahuna rescue.

"I wanted to introduce people to the works of Max Freedom Long, and saw no better way to do it than through a Sci-Fi thriller that would appeal to the masses," explains Pollens. "There's action provided by the narrative, life-changing insights from Long himself and an awe-inspiring tour of Oahu, Maui, Big Island and Kauai."

Continuing, "The Huna movement can literally change someone's life. Long spent decades documenting the healing powers of the Kahunas and also dissecting their belief system of the 'three selves' (uhane, middle self or conscious, unihipili, lower self or subconscious, and aumakua, upper or spiritual self). Readers can now expose themselves to this wisdom and discover where it fits into their life, while reveling in a gripping adventure that accurately portrays the man that discovered it all."
