Belmont Shore Book Fair
Tour stop #9: first annual BSBF, Long Beach, Sept. 22. This being my first fair, I learned a lot about how to present the book to potential readers, what to bring, what not to bring, and so on.

Poem published by the LA Jewish Home
Glad to see my poem “Nothing Is Ever New,” reflecting on the recent riot at the synagogue Adas Torah and life in general in the post-October 7 world, published by California’s largest Jewish family newspaper.
