Introduction	I've been married for 40 years to my husband, Jan. We've raised three sons and recently greeted our first grandchild, Olive. Writing is my current passion and has been for the past seven years. I've been working on a series of historical novels. The first one, working title, Pleas Say Kaddish for Me is under contract with Jeanie Pantelakis of Sullivan Maxx Literary Agency. The novels are about a Jewish family at the turn of the 20th century and their survival from Czarist tyranny to immigration to the United States. In November 2011, my first book entitled THIS, THAT AND SOMETIMES THE OTHER, an eclectic anthology of short stories, debuted. It includes original illustrations as well.
