Five Star Amazon Reviews of Teeth, Lies & Consequences
Nov 27th
I’m gratified by the first two five star reviews on Amazon.com and that both readers found the depth of emotion and meaning that I tried to express about religious strife and unconditional love. I’ll be looking forward to more feedback in the coming weeks.

The Third Option: Teeth, Lies & Consequences
Nov 16th
In the closing pages of T L & C as Frankie and Friedrich board a plane for Los Angeles, Frankie shares his plan of returning to Israel to open dental clinics in Israeli Muslim Communities and in the “third world” communities of new Jewish immigrants from Muslim countries.
His dream is to promote a third option of hope and reconciliation to the dominating themes of hate and revenge that govern the lives of both Jewish and Palestinian citizens in Israel.
Promoting Hope and Reconciliation may seem like a worn out cliché but in the Middle East these days it is a concept that is sadly lacking on both sides of the conflict. Maybe this story, in its own small way, can help to change that.
Teeth, Lies & Consequences: Title Launch
Nov 16th
It’s been about two weeks since this new title saw the light of day on Amazon.com and Kindle. Now it is also available on Amazon.ca making it easier to access for Canadian readers. I am also working with David Korinetz, of Red Tuque Books Inc. which will be distributing the book to bookstores and libraries in Canada and the US. Hopefully by the end of the year all channels will be up and running.
