edit data

I have recently finished my PHD in Assyriology, the studies of ancient texts written in cuneiform on clay.

I am very interested in the ancient history of Women in the land of Mesopotamia (Iraq of today).

I currently teach a class about ancient Women.

However, I fell in love with writing historical fiction based on ancient history and ancient texts. SHE WROTE ON CLAY is my debut novel published by Hadley Rille Books.

I am currently working on another story, based on the Gilgamesh Mythology.

I live in Israel, Jerusalem.
