so looking forward to reading the book.....I have all of your books and wouldn't have bought them if you weren't such a great author. your books + "as a driven leaf" were what developed in me a love for Jewish historical fiction and now I can't get enough.

would love to know if you plan on coming to israel any time soon and would be interested in guest speaking at our shul one evening?

I would so love to come to Israel again to speak about my novels, but I was just there in 2012 and it's a long, expensive trip from LA.
