About the author

I wrote my first book called "Project Exodus" in the fall of 1992 when I started college, but soon became busy with school, career, family, and kids. I didn't start writing again until about 2007 and ended up publishing my first novel ("The Time of Jacob's Trouble") in 2008 which was later expanded into a well-loved trilogy. And the rest (as they say) is history!

Aside from writing software and books in my spare time, my other interests include spending time with my wife and our dogs, hiking, relaxing on the beach, and reading great literature. I've toured Israel several times and have also volunteered on an IDF medical base. I also enjoy traveling, listening to classical music, studying archaeology, history, and politics, and literally devouring audiobooks.
