It's Launch Day
Today is a special day.
Two of my novels that many of you may have already met in Hebrew or Russian—The Unswitchable and In the Blink of an Eye—are finally stepping out into the world in English.
Seeing them launch in English feels both new and familiar, like watching an old friend learn a new language and start speaking to new people.
In the Blink of an Eye
A physicist who spent his life trying to build a time machine is found dead inside his sealed study, leaving behind a mystery no one is prepared to solve.
Two unlikely detectives—a washed-up actor and a reclusive librarian—are pulled into an investigation where the question isn’t just who killed him, but when.
The Unswitchable
In a world where anyone can instantly jump into a new body, Dan Arbel is the only person on Earth who can’t Switch.
His fixed identity makes him valuable… and very easy to target. When a dying stranger reveals a secret tied to Dan’s past, he’s thrown into a chase full of shifting faces, hidden agendas, and the danger of being the only person who can’t escape himself.
If you’ve read these books before and if you’ve encountered these stories in earlier editions and would like to support their English release, two things help more than anything else:
1. Share the books with English-reading friends.
Word of mouth is still the best magic I know.
2. Leave a short Amazon review.
Even a few words can help new readers find the books.
As an author, it’s humbling to see how much difference a handful of early reviews can make during a launch. If you feel like adding yours, I would truly appreciate it.
Thank you for reading, for recommending, for asking questions, for writing reviews, and for letting my characters occupy a bit of space in your imagination.
I’m excited to see how these books will meet their new readers.
