Thank you to Lyn Julius for reading and reviewing White Zion. I'm looking forward to her talk in Jerusalem in January and to thanking her in person.

"Nice and quiet here," David says. "I can't wait to see what you've brought me," Yael says. "I can't wait to see your reaction." "To what?" "You'll see. I paid for an extra suitcase. There's a ton of things from your parents," he says. "Went by the house. They're almost done packing." His words are like cold water down her back. Her smile dis...

Had to snap and post. No Entry, set in South Africa's Kruger National Park and Passport Control, set in Haifa in 1993, are both included on the newest poster at the Isaac Waldman Jewish Public Library in Vancouver. Knocked out to be included among so much talent from this group of Jewish authors.
Had a great time last night at Keramikli.

It means a lot to me when readers send me their thoughts on White Zion. Thank you, Terri! I read White Zion recently and want to share how moving and powerful it was for me.

"Hello? Anyone home?" "Sorry. Still not used to driving on this side of the road," Yael lies. "Need to concentrate." Yael forces her shoulders back. She wants to reverse, set the case on fire. She cannot believe she's participating in the murder of innocent animals. But she cannot arouse David's suspicions. There's no telling what he mi...

Thank you so much to Michelle Bowles and her inspiring book blog "What Is That Book About" for spotlighting White Zion.

This one made me laugh out loud. Would love to hear your views on this advice: Seven years ago, one of my spawnlings told me I needed to write a blog. I forget which one ... I often get them confused, but it was probably the same spawnling who said I needed to have a Twitter account (whatever that was) and a Facebook page.I have since regretted bot...

I'm so happy to share with you my review and interview in Dragonfly. I'm honored to be in such a worthy publication.

Gila Green is a masterful storyteller, and No Entry can definitely be added to her growing list of masterpieces.

Finished reading "Passport Control" some while ago, but neglected to tell you how very impressive it is for (among other reasons) inter-twining so many threads: North American and Israeli, past and present, with loving and vengeful characters. It was a wonderful read. Looking forward to reading "White Zion." Susan H. Sachs
What do you get when you invite two talented authors, combine an engaged audience and throw in some book muffins? A delightful evening. I am so pleased our first Beit Shemesh Lit event was a success.

I wish it was longer - I want to know what happens next!" Thanks ...

I had to repost this article by Catherine Nichols. Fascinating. The plan made me feel dishonest and creepy, so it took me a long time to send my novel out under a man's name. But each time I read a study about unconscious bias, I got a little closer to trying it. I set up a new e-mail address under a name—let's say it was George Leyer, though ...
