About

When I was a child my mother kept a black suitcase in our basement. She forbade me to look inside.  Of course as we all know the way to spark a child’s curiosity is to tell them they are forbidden to do or see a particular thing.  One afternoon when my mother was out, I raced down stairs. Nobody was around so I opened the suitcase. Inside I found pictures and letters in a foreign language.  Later that night I asked my mother what all of it meant. She told me that she was trying to protect me by keeping the suitcase out of my reach,  but since I’d found it I might as well know that she and my father both lost their entire extended families in the Holocaust. So began my obsession with the Nazi occupation of Eastern Europe.  Being that my father was Romany and my mother was Jewish, I had many aspects to research and much to learn. Finally, many years later…I wrote my first novel. It is set in this period.   It comes to you, along with all of my work, from my heart, with love and hopes that someday there will be understanding and tolerance among all peoples. I thank you so much for your interest in my writing. 

                   Love, Blessings, Good Fortune, and as the Gypsies say Good Road to all of you,
