I was born in London, England, but in 1947 aged 15 months my parents took me to Johannesburg, South Africa, where I was raised. I attended King David Schools, a Jewish day school, from kindergarten to matriculation. I was a member of various Jewish Youth Movements and this instilled in me a strong Zionist belief. I married in 1971 and in 1979, I made aliyah (immigration) to Israel with my wife and two older children. Our youngest child was born in Israel in 1989.
Both my wife and I are pharmacists, but now retired. I started writing as a hobby about 10 years ago, but have been more serious about it in the past two or three years.

I don't read much fiction. I've just read 'The Trial' by Franz Kafka which takes place where no one would want to go to and 'Fahrenheit' 451 by Ray Bradbury, where the same sentiment applies. As a writer I read all genres. My latest 'chic-lit' read was 'Paris for One' and other short stories by Jojo Moyes. I'm a veteran husband, but I guess if I needed to look for love Paris is not a bad place to fall in love. The bread and pastries in Paris would make anyone love Paris. (less)

The Great People of History

I’ve loved history ever since I was a schoolboy way back in the 60s. I should have studied history or perhaps journalism at university but I took a different route.

Most of the books, books are among my most prized possessions, in my quite extensive library are non-fiction and historical. My children were always allowed to buy books and I never considered the price – within reason of course. There Read more of this blog post »
