My story
For the past 50 years, I have lived in Israel, married to an incredible wife, and raising four wonderful children. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the cycle of hatred it perpetuates have been part of my reality almost since the day I was born.
I realize that while I may not have the power to change this painful reality, I have the ability to offer a glimmer of hope for a better future, built on compassion and acceptance. Through my writing, I aim to send a small beam of hope, and a lighthouse for acceptance and understanding.
My focus is on contemporary love, something I feel our world is in desperate need of. Love in its purest and simplest form. Love as a foundation. Love as a way of living. I firmly believe that love can be the catalyst for change and hope in this world.
My vision
My vision is rooted in the belief that every love story has the power to inspire, uplift, and connect readers on a profound level. I strive to showcase the beauty and resilience of love as it weaves through different cultures, offering readers not just an escape, but a journey into the heart of what makes us human. Whether it’s a tale of forbidden love in a remote village, a modern romance navigating the complexities of urban life, or a historical love story set against the backdrop of changing societal norms. My books reflect the infinite shades of love.
While I am focusing on my own books for now, my hope is to extend this vision and support talented yet disadvantaged authors from around the world. I dream of helping them bring their love stories to life, offering a platform for voices that can inspire, heal, and remind us of love’s beauty in all its forms. I believe that with your support, we can create a collection of novels that transcend borders and build bridges of empathy and caring.

I call it the “black canvas of my imagination”. I feel this ability, which lies in each and every one of us, is a true gift, as it allows a total freedom that is second to none. From the ocean of genres in writing, I feel strongly connected to contemporary novels, as there is so much beauty in our world, so many stories waiting to be written, that my mind is sometimes overwhelmed with ideas. That also connects to my vision to bring people together through love stories. Captivating stories that show how love is both timeless and borderless, ...View More
