Am pleased to say "City of Slaughter" has won the Silver Award for Historical Fiction from the Forward National Literature Awards! City of Slaughter

Fabulous news!! City of Slaughter has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize for the "fire chapters." I am so pleased and so very, very honored.

Fabulous review for "City of Slaughter" from Association of Jewish Libraries, out today: "...The author has created a strong debut novel that puts readers into the environment of early twentieth-century New York. Carsie’s trials will make them wonder whether she can survive, but her strength and optimism will inspire them. This is an excellent choice for book clubs and for mature teens." ~ Association of Jewish Libraries Journal, Barbara M. Bibel, Oakland Public Library, Oakland, CA; Congregation Netivot Shalom, Berkeley, CA
