A New Novel - A Burnt Offering


I've published through Amazon (including Kindle) a much revised and enlarged version of my 2011 retelling in contemporary Israel of the Sacrifice of Isaac, updated now to the possibility of a nuclear exchange with Iran, and adding newly developed characters. Its title is "A Burnt Offering - a fable and linked story." The latter refers to a character appearing in the fable, Dr. Morris Weisberg, who is fully introduced by the story and is the subject of an unpublished novel of mine, "Pathological States." Here's an image of the cover, and to the right there should be a live link to the Amazon site for "A Burnt Offering." The photo on the cover conveys an impression of two main characters, Ari and Elena Schneider.

The Ash Tree chapter 1



The first chapter of my novel "The Ash Tree" about Armenian-Americans in the aftermath of the 1915 Armenian Genocide in Turkey. It was recorded last summer and posted on YouTube with images on December 31, 2019. In 2015, the centenary of the 1915 Genocide, it was published by a small non-profit press in the Central Valley of California, West of West Books, and in 2016, it was the sole book with Armenian content chosen for the short-list of Stanford's William Saroyan Prize.
