I was born in Columbus Ohio, USA, in 1947. I graduated from Ohio State University with a BA in Psychology. I served in both the US Army and the Israeli Defense Forces. I have been writing poetry since I was a student at OSU but this is my first novel. I support my writing habit by working as a computer networking security consultant. I moved to Israel in 1978 and live in Raanana. I am married and have three sons and three grandchildren.
