On Wednesday, May 17, I had the good fortune to be the sole author present from my publisher, iUniverse, who was displaying its print-on-demand technology, clearly the wave of the future. The Convention and Conference was held at the Pennsylavania Convention Center in Philadelphia, PA. My role was merely to sit behind a desk and sign copies of my novel, that were being given away free. The Convention was only for people in the printing and publishing trade, yet thousands were on hand. The books were being printed on the spot -- hot off the press.

I found the day both exhausting and exhilirating. The former because I was signing my books non-stop in the face of ceaseless lines of people. Exhilirated for the same reason. This meant that people from around the country would be taking my book back to their cities and towns to be read and, I hope, talked about. What impressed me most was that the recipients were not asking for the books simply because they were free, but here were people from all walks of life genuinely interested in the subject matter of the novel -- the Holocaust and its aftermath, almost three decades later, on two interacting families.

If, like I do, you love books with great character transformations, then be sure to read "Tsotsi" (Sot-se) by Athol Fugard, a South African author. It has also been made into a movie that has won many awards, including the Best Foreign Academy Award Film for 2005. You will be witness to Tsotsi's transformation from a hardened young thug into a soft, tender, loving human, all brought about by taking into his care an inadvertently kidnapped baby when all he thought he was stealing was an expensive car. The rest you can discover for yourself.

The L.A. Annual Book Festival held on the campus of UCLA has come and gone over the weekend. It was a huge success with thousands of visitors gracing the campus in a festive mood. Many, no doubt, left with less money and an arm load of books. My book, "Silent battlefields: A novel" was displayed at a booth of only twenty books represented by the Authors Coalition. I was fortunate enough to receive an enthusiastic cell phone call from a good friend who gave me a full report while standing in front of the booth, which she found exceptionally well organized and stylish. Thanks Rachelle.

"Silent Battlefields" will also be at the Washington, D.C. Book Exposition running from May 19 to May 21. It will be at the iUniverse booth. Stop by if you happen to be in the area.

Several people have been aksing whether I have another novel in mind to write, so I thought this would be a good place to answer that question. Yes! For some time now a concept for a novel, Justin's Quest, has been incubating in my mind. I have recently begun to sketch in handwriting the overarching theme, several key episodes, and the background of the major characters. I found that in writing my first novel, Silent Battlefields, that the scenes, many episodes, and the dialogue emerge spontaneously in the actual writing of the work and I will follow that tactic in writing Justin's Quest. There are many ways to go about writing a novel and I strongly believe that whatever works for the individual author is the best way to go. For example, some writers outline every step of the way from beginning to ending before starting to write.  It is the outcome that matters most, in my opinion, and not the method of writing.

 Although there are certainly established rules to the craft of writing fiction, I'm of the opinion that the best strategy to pursue is as much a factor of the author's personality as of the rule-book, the latter of which I also take into account. Nevertheless, I don't hesitate to break the rules if I feel strongly that it is in the best interests of maintaining the integrity and unity of the story being told. Perhaps you have some opinions of your own that you'd like to share with the rest of us on this subject. If so, please don't hesitate to post them so that we may all have the advantage of your thinking on this matter.

In closing, I hope you are well and wish you luck in your own endeavors whether of a writing nature or otherwise.
