A lover’s cocktail

I'm fascinated with the act of writing. It's too early to reveal too much about my next novel, but this I will say: Dancing with Air has two things in common with the last novel, The Music of Us: First, it's a love story. And Second, each chapter features lyrics, written by me, intended not only to bring back the sounds of WWII era but also to reflect the state of mind of the main character, Lenny. 

Here is a little taste of it, and I can't wait to hear it set to music:

Swirl in the air of daybreak, mix in a kissAdd a blue splash of winter, ‘cause you I missStir it together to toast a moment apartBack into my arms is a long way to chart
Cool it with ice, throw in a lost starServe it bitter, to the sound of guitarDrink it in one gulp before you set sailTo bring me a taste of a lover’s cocktail

A beautiful love story

Living in a small sunny town on the southwest coast in Finland, Jennifer Loiske is  is a Teen/YA paranormal fiction author, with four exciting series available worldwide. I am honored to find her heartfelt , eloquent review of my novel, The Music of Us:

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful love story, April 3, 2016
By Jennifer LoiskeVerified Purchase(What's this?)This review is from: The Music of Us (Still Life with Memories Book 3) (Kindle Edition) I’ve grown to love Uvi Poznansky’s writing style, which is why I wanted to read this book. Most of the story takes place in World War Two. Now, before you say anything, I’m not a huge fan of historical stories but occasionally there is a gem among them. A story so good that even a sworn paranormal romance lover like me gets swept away with it. This was it.

The words flowed like the sweetest poem on the paper and made the love story between Lenny and Natasha live. Even with the difficult topic, the story was written so heartbreakingly warmly that it simply melted my heart. The author clearly is not afraid to handle difficult issues. Quite the opposite! She skillfully guided me to the world that was new to me, handed me Altzheimer, asked me to suck it up and see behind the illness, and wrapped me around her finger by drowning me with a bunch of emotions that made me cry like a baby. Well done! Well done indeed.

This is not an ordinary read but a journey through time, a peek to our past and a reminder that the best things in life are not bound by any rules, time or age. Highly recommended!

The Charming Gift of Rhyme

Here is a lovely review that put a big smile on my lips, for my children's book Jess and Wiggle:

5.0 out of 5 stars The Charming Gift of Rhyme, April 4, 2016
By Kindle Customer49Verified Purchase(What's this?)This review is from: Jess and Wiggle (Kindle Edition) With the lightest of touches, talented artist/author Uvi Poznansky inks and pens her way through this delightful book, reminiscent of old school illustrators and writers from the past. Using an antique curly-Q looking font, we are introduced to Jess, “a little girl with the cutest red curl,” who doesn’t like to smile. Inspired by the book’s absolute charm, I can’t help but finish my review like this (not nearly as good as the author’s, btw!)

No matter how many games one plays,
Jess meets each person with a solemn gaze.
Until up crops Wiggle in her sock,
Now HE has the amazing gift of shock.
And shock he does with huge savoir faire,
Making this charming children’s book
Something we all should share!

In the spirit of spring: A warm sweet feeling infiltrated her heart

A warm sweet feeling infiltrated her heart–like the coffee Olivia had earlier forced into her cold, shocked hands. Holding his gaze was doing something funny to her insides, and she looked away while nodding. “Yeah. Thanks.”“You know, I could probably raise hell until they let you stay in the room. Just a perk of the occupation.”Jack was a man accustomed to getting what he wanted. At this, her mind stopped processing anything but that thought as she seriously considered what he offered. He was right. Tristan was a rock star’s son. That came with such privileges. Although she often condemned this sort of spoiled celebrity behavior, she now completely related when it came to a situation such as this. Protectively, she would have done anything a few minutes ago to stay in that room.Nodding, she replied, “I’ll think about it. But, it’s okay for now. If he–if he gets worse, I would want to. Or, if he wakes up and they don’t let me.”“Tell me. Okay? Anything you need.”“Okay.” A gulp lodged in her throat, and she couldn’t look away. This was the considerate, chivalric man she remembered.This was the man who had offered her a cold drink on a hot day, who had seemed embarrassed to hand her a pen and a legal document during a kiss, who had held and touched her like a lover not a quick lay where countless others had lain, who had gently kissed her before holding the door open as she walked out of his life.

Dark, heartbreaking, tragic..awful but beautiful!

A lovely review for my book, Twisted:

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark, heartbreaking, tragic..awful but beautiful!, March 23, 2016
By Jessica CarynVerified Purchase(What's this?)This review is from: Twisted (Kindle Edition) The artistry, unique properties, classic dark with contemporary and fantastic structure.
This collection was reminiscent of playwrights and poets from time past "twisted" with the modern.
Lines from I am What I am.
"He ( Satan) turns to me with a sly look. To my surprise, his smile- even with those sharp fangs - is quite endearing.. His voice is sweet. He must have sung in a choir in his youth, because in some ways, he sounds as pious as my husband." - Job's Wife on a Journey through Hell.
Well done. 5+ stars !

Book Description:
Coming back to his childhood home after years of absence, Ben is unprepared for the secret, which is now revealed to him: his mother, Natasha, who used to be a brilliant pianist, is losing herself to early-onset Alzheimer’s, which turns the way her mind works into a riddle. His father has remarried, and his new wife, Anita, looks remarkably similar to Natasha—only much younger. In this state of being isolated, being apart from love, how will Ben react when it is so tempting to resort to blame and guilt? “In our family, forgiveness is something you pray for, something you yearn to receive—but so seldom do you give it to others.”  

Behind his father's back, Ben and Anita find themselves increasingly drawn to each other. They take turns using an old tape recorder to express their most intimate thoughts, not realizing at first that their voices are being captured by him. What emerges in this family is a struggle, a desperate, daring struggle to find a path out of conflicts, out of isolation, from guilt to forgiveness. 

Do you like historical fiction about the 20th century, especially when it is tinged with romance and wrapped in a family saga? Then this series, Still Life with Memories, is for you.
