I wrote my Holocaust novel because:1. My relatives were killed in Nazi camps.
2. My mother was persecuted because of her religion.
3. I feel a connection to those who perished.
4. There are few, if any, love stories about the Holocaust.
5. It is an opportunity to teach young people about the dangers of genocide.
did u get to see any filming of the movie!!!!!!!
Nah, i really really really wish we could have tho. When im next allowed online, ill send you a HUGE long email about it all. I wrote it down in a little notebook of mine. btw, i got you a TON of rocks from second beach. i really wanted to go to first beach, but we couldnt find a way down.
there's some stuff on youtube that shows them filming the crash seen...but it's not that interesting. SEND ME A ROCK! lol that sounds really wierd...who cares SEND ME A ROCK!!!! or make juliana bring me one when she comes!!!
We've got dozens of rocks nads, we'll keep one for you for when you come... also, sasu put together a ziploc of brochures and ads and stuff from la push and forks for you. all sorts of stuff, quileute legend stuff, a map to the "thirftway" (ha!), it's cool. geoff - what happened? basically we traveled up and down the peninsula, visiting all the places that were mentioned in the books.
Hi Charles-I just put Jacob's Courage on my to-read list and will probably be ordering it next week. Hope all is well!

Thank you Andy. I am honored with your interest in my Holocaust novel. Please let me know what you think. It's a long book, but I'm told that it is also a fast read ("difficult to put down" is a frequent comment). I have a sequel in mind. However, I would like to finish my science fiction novel first. I'm also writing children's story. I require a break from death and brutality before returning to the Holocaust characters. Are you a writer by vocation? If so, what do you write? What do you like to read?
Thanks again for ordering "Jacob's Courage." I hope that you enjoy it.

I grew up when The Holocaust series was on television and I've always found the entire concept of genecide fascinatingly evil. So I've read just about every holocaust book I could get my hands on. I've even visited the museum in DC. Now that is one serious place. I took my children there so they would understand the evils of genecide. Have you read The Hidden Children, which is a collection of stories about children who survived the holocaust by hiding during that time? Very interesting read. I think I'll mark your book "to read" also.
Jacob's Courage sounds like a fantastic book. I used to teach Middle School and we read The Diary of Anne Frank, then took the kids to the Holocaust Museum in Dallas. What a very powerful experience.Beth Fehlbaum, author

Chapter One is now online!
You are most kind to place my book on your "to read" list. The US Holocaust Meuseum is a very powerful experience. The more ways that we can teach our progeny about the horrors of genocide, the better the chance that they will despise and combat it in the future.
Beth, your book looks fascinating. Sadly, abuse is widespread and in virtually every culture. It can be carried forward from one generation to another. Your book will help to shine a light upon the topic in a very constructive way. Good luck.Chuck Weinblatt
Thank you! Best of luck to you, too.Beth Fehlbaum, author

r we still coughing??? **cough, cough** i guess so....
Nadia - I have a whole shopping bag full of rocks from La Push for you. I put a few of them in my aquarium, and Bella (the fish) loves them. lol
lol...you should name one after me!!!!(a fish...not a rock. lol)!!!! and other people...cough cough :P lol...
i don't think I'll be able to get *any* new fish for a long time - at least a few months now...
just outa curiosity....how much do fish usually cost???
about 15 bucks each, sometimes a lot more. Just depends on the type you get.
So i definitely do not want to take the risk in getting a few more when the water quality is this horrible. it'll take months to get the water good enough to support new fish.
