Thanks Rhonda! I hope you enjoy reading it.

In honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Week my ebook Of Bitter Herbs and Sweet Confections (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1729756050) is free on Amazon from January 21-25.
Kirkus Reviews: An illuminating contribution to Holocaust literature and a riveting family drama.

Of Bitter Herbs and Sweet Confections is a fictionalized memoir, based on real-life events and experiences. The story presents the journey of Tanya, a Jewish teenager, as it unfolds over a ten-year period from 1939 to 1949. Forced to flee their Polish hometown in order to escape the Nazis, Tanya and her family wander from place to place, trying to keep one step ahead of the German army, until they fall into the hands of the Russians and are exiled to Siberia.
Having survived hard labor in the frozen north, Tanya's father relocates the family to central Asia where they live out the final years of the war. On her return to Europe, where she encounters the atrocities committed during her absence, Tanya finds the inner strength to help those whose war time suffering has been even greater than her own. This "truth is stranger than fiction" novel-cum-memoir is a heartrending and heartwarming coming of age story which opens a window into a lesser-known side of this horrific chapter in history through a young girl/woman's eyes.

Many thanks Susan!

Hi everyone,
I didn't even realise this space is available!

My book The Resurrector, which was published last month, is still available for $0.99 on Amazon until February 18th.
Here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/Resurrector-Mo...

So far I have lots of great reviews, where people say things like:
- An intense and emotional story
- The story is engaging, with an organic plot that keeps you turning the page. I experienced range of emotions in the book as well as the intrigue of a fantastical sub plot.
- one of those stories that grips you in an unforgettable way.

and more!

I just finished The Resurrector the other night. I enjoyed the book overall though I did skip a few sentences here and there when the descriptions went on with sand and fog, and grasses, and sea and houses. I liked to see the transformation of Chaim, how he changed in attitude. Despite the pain of losing his son, I think he found peace and purpose. He was giving to others what was given to him.

The book written by Moshe Mikanovsky???

For those who prefer to read ebooks, you can buy my new book, The Choice: A Novel of Love, Faith and The Talmud at a discount at PayHip.com, a website for authors and indie publishers to sell their own e-versions. . Here's the link https://payhip.com/b/XBOmh to find the book's page.

Free Kindle version of My Novel:

I believe members of this group will enjoy my novel, Father, Son, Stone, which is now available as a free Kindle download through Tuesday, November 29. This timely story blends history and mystery to reveal the secret of the most controversial religious site in Jerusalem — known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary.

The genre is historical fiction, with the plot inspired by historical events. Immediately after the Six-Day War in 1967, after the Israelis captured the Old City of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, Israel’s Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, to the dismay of many, returned the administration of the Temple Mount to the Muslim Authority. In the latter part of the 20th century, the Muslim authorities conducted construction activities under the Temple Mount to enlarge al-Aqsa Mosque, which many believe endangers the structural integrity of the area, including the Western Wall.

In my story, the Western Wall collapses from the Muslim Authority’s excavation under the Temple Mount, and Justice Meir Bar-Aben of the Supreme Court of Israel presides over a secret hearing, initiated by the Israeli Prime Minister, to take back control of the Temple Mount from the Muslim Authority. What is revealed during the hearing changes Jerusalem, and the people who live there, forever.

The story spans many centuries, focusing on the history of the Temple and the Temple Mount. A major portion involves the period of the 7th century CE during the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem, and the construction of al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount.

Click the link below to download Father, Son, Stone, free from now through November 29, and it is always free to Kindle Unlimited members.

Carolyn, congratulations on the release.
Doesn't look like you're giving it away, though. Maybe you meant to post under Authors announcing their work?

Ooops. I'll repost it there. Thanks so much.
