I’m excited to announce that my debut historical novel, No Other Place on Earth, is now available for purchase in paperback and Kindle!
I started writing fiction in middle school (the less said about that, the better). I wrote my first “novel” at 15, which is now blessedly lost to the sands of time. I wrote a few more novels in my twenties, but this is the one I really wanted to write but avoided for years because I knew I wasn’t ready.
Eventually I knew I couldn’t put it off any longer and I threw myself into intensive research to prepare. And then it was 2020 and lockdown hit, and suddenly I had a lot of time in my apartment with nowhere else to go and nothing else to do. The rest is history.
I’m nervous and excited to share my work with the wider world for the first time. No Other Place on Earth is a saga spanning the turbulent 1930s through World War II and up to the independence of the state of Israel. It’s a story about courage, love, duty, and hope. It’s that same hope that was the basis for the movement that led to the miracle of Israel’s remarkable rebirth in 1948, so beautifully expressed in the Zionist anthem that would become Israel’s national anthem, Ha-Tikvah.
“So long as deep within the heart,
the Jewish soul yearns,
and forward to the East,
an eye looks to Zion.
Our hope is not yet lost,
the hope of 2,000 years,
to be a free people in our land,
the land of Zion and Jerusalem.”
I hope you consider reading it and sharing it with your family and friends. If you do read and enjoy it, please leave a review on Amazon! Even just a few words are fine. For an independent author, it helps enormously in allowing other readers to discover our work.
I can’t wait to hear what you think!
