Dear friends and colleagues,
I want to share with you that I have recently signed a contract with a small Jerusalem-based English language publishing firm - "Chaim Mazo Publishing" to bring out my novel, "A Time To Be Born" in a few months time. This novel and the publication of a chapter from it now in a first-rate Jewish fiction forum (Elie, Weisel, et al have been published there) is a big deal for me as you can imagine. I have been working on this writing project 6 years now, have invested resources and time in it and it has been deeply therapeutic for me (that in itself is the greatest reward.) apart from looking for help marketing the result I just want to share my joy on completing it. Below is a link to the chapter, "The Seder" which was recently published in the Canadian "Journal of Jewish Fiction" and is topical in these days of Nisan. It is a middle (turning point) chapter describing a Pesach seder in a DP camp just after the 2nd world war in Germany. The novel follows two survivors, Yanosh and Eva, through Europe in search of a home and a new life after the war, reflecting and testifying to the revival of Jewish life in the immediate post-war period and some of the moral and spiritual dilemnas they then faced. They meet a mysterious character, Bora, an ex-partisan-smuggler, obsessed with revenge, who sharpens these issues for them. Please share it with anyone you think might be interested. here is the direct link http://jewishfiction.net/index.php/publisher/articleview/frmArticleID/63
"the article is FASCINATING!!! and highly recommended!! May Yehiel's writing inspire us to provide safety and security for all of our children. May the tears that Yanosh and Eva shed be the last tears that any parent sheds for their children Rabbi Chaim Cohen" Kol Tuv Yehiel --
