All my books are about real people, real lives, the one I"m beginning now is based on the story of a former extremist who went undercover to round up an al Qaeda related terrorist cell. Super interesting...

I love to write, I just sit down and write. I don't think I've ever had writer's block unless you count life and family which often get in the way of sitting down to write… I need to write, it helps me process all the true stories I encounter in my life.

I write nonfiction. I'm curious. I ask questions. Sometimes the answers I get amaze me, sometimes they need to become a book.

I'm just finishing Beyond the Pale: A Story of Love and Friendship from the Minsk Ghetto and the Holocaust in Belarus It's a true story I was told when collecting Holocaust oral histories in Minsk from all of the survivors still living there…very tough to write, but a touching story.
