Thank you for visiting my website. I love telling stories, and turning some of them into published novels is very rewarding for me as a writer. Having the chance to meet diverse and wonderful readers such as you is just as valuable.
At a glance, you’ll find that my novels are inspired by current events, and their plots move between the Middle East, Europe and the United States.
In my novels, I try to celebrate the human spirit with many of its contradictions, showing the complex struggles of regular folk trying to overcome extraordinary circumstances. Currently, a new novel is represented by my agent, Susan Golomb at Writers House.
If interested, you can read excerpts and reviews of each book on the BOOKS Page. You will also find lists of some bookstores world-wide where the books are available, as well as optional buy links.
