Book excerpt: Brooklyn, 1932 Eli Abramowitz makes pickles and pastrami in his parents' deli in Williamsburg. Not a bad job during the Depression. His family is his whole world-almost. He spends every Sunday at the movies and hopes to hit it big as a Hollywood screenwriter. But how can he tell his parents that one day he'll be leaving? Across town, Evelyn Rosenstein's father works for the mob-undoubtedly the reason they're doing so well. Definitely the reason she's not allowed farther than their mailbox unescorted. Even though her parents have chosen a husband for her, a family tradition, she fantasizes about a life in service to the unfortunate. But for the moment, she dreams of escape, if only for a few hours. Opportunity strikes, and she ends up at the deli. Evelyn and Eli meet only briefly, but their instant connection tempts an unlikely, forbidden romance. When a charity dinner has them again crossing paths, danger follows. But will it shadow them into their futures?

Book excerpt: More than a quarter of a century ago, Leo Rosten published the first comprehensive and hilariously entertaining lexicon of the colorful and deeply expressive language of Yiddish. Said “to give body and soul to the Yiddish language,” The Joys of Yiddish went on to become an indispensable tool for writers, journalists, politicians, and students, as well as a perennial bestseller for three decades. Rosten described his book as “a relaxed lexicon of Yiddish, Hebrew, and Yinglish words often encountered in English, plus dozens that ought to be, with serendipitous excursions into Jewish humor, habits, holidays, history, religion, ceremonies, folklore, and cuisine–the whole generously garnished with stories, anecdotes, epigrams, Talmudic quotations, folk sayings, and jokes.” To this day, it is considered the seminal work on Yiddish in America–a true classic and a staple in the libraries of Jews and non-Jews alike. With the recent renaissance of interest in Yiddish, and in keeping with a language that embodies the variety and vibrancy of life itself, The New Joys of Yiddish brings Leo Rosten’s masterful work up to date. Revised for the first time by Lawrence Bush in close consultation with Rosten’s daughters, it retains the spirit of the original–with its wonderful jokes, tidbits of cultural history, Talmudic and Biblical references, and tips on pronunciation–and enhances it with hundreds of new entries, thoughtful commentary on how Yiddish has evolved over the years, and an invaluable new English-to-Yiddish index. In addition, The New Joys of Yiddish includes wondrous and amusing illustrations by renowned artist R.O. Blechman.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even grown men get upset when you take their toys away. Rollo Hemphill has a history with a life-sized rubber doll he dressed up to look like glamorous Hollywood star Monica LaMonica. For a time, the doll’s worldwide travels provided convenient cover and sensational press for her living counterpart. But now, rubber-Monica has disappeared from crusty Hugo Farnsworth’s yacht in St. Tropez. Like it or (mostly) not, Rollo gets drafted as an unofficial government operative to deal with the kidnappers. The doll has become a pawn in an international game centered on an eccentric Turk who collects lookalikes – but who may have also collected state secrets, including the plans for cold fusion and a scheme for bankrupting the world’s money supply. All Rollo wants to do is get safely home to his estranged wife Felicia – who now happens to be pregnant. Is the child his? If not, will Rollo be bold enough to risk everything for a real life with a real woman? Once again, Rollo will prove that the male ego is as vulnerable as it is predictably deflatable. - “On the lam in Paris, computer geek-turned-shamus Rollo Hemphill is on the prowl for a kidnapped blonde. A rich old man’s plaything, this doll has a famous face, legs up to here, and all the right equipment. A soft-boiled dick if ever there was one, Rollo learns too late that as usual, the yolk is on him.” - Marvin J. Wolf, author of For Whom The Shofar Blows and other Rabbi Ben Mysteries “The first requirement to be a fan of Farnsworth's Revenge is an ability to suspend belief. While the scenario of a kidnapped life-size replica inviting international espionage seems far-fetched, the story succeeds in painting a satisfying blend of possibility and madness in a manner designed to attract male readers with an interest in fast-paced espionage stories that hold a healthy dose of angst, witty mishaps and misadventure... Blend all this zaniness with emotional reflections as Rollo strives to reconcile differences between many different factions (not the least of which is his girlfriends) and you have a blend of action, drama, humor, and laugh-out-loud reflections revolving around the male ego and its responses... Don't expect a book that's easily 'pegged': Farnsworth's Revenge provides a read that's out of the ordinary and excels in unexpected twists and turns of plot; all spiced by comedy and hilarious encounters between Rollo and forces that pull him in different emotional and intellectual directions. It's recommended for mature teens (ages 16 and older) as well as adult audiences.” - D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

Yetta Marks, his tough-minded aunt, goes to North Carolina to get Randall's will from his office safe. The will is missing. The Canadian family of Randall's mother claims the estate. Sixty-four year-old Yetta must defend her family's inheritance. To help her lawyer, Yetta tells him the story of her brother Jack, the family's black sheep, whose search for meaning begins in the Jewish community of Washington, DC at the turn of the century. After relating Jack's saga, Yetta realizes that she, too, has been living her life in exile and must decide whether to continue or take the chance on a new relationship. Lives in Exile is a novel based loosely on a true story which inspired the author to imagine and re-create one family's history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology is the result of the vision of The Palm Springs Writers Guild 2001 and President, Hyacinthe Baron, to publish members works in a collection based on a democratic, non-judgmental reflection of the diverse talents, imagination and words of those writers as an important step in encouraging both beginning and professional published authors to see their works in print. The written word is a powerful tool, enabling writers to leave a message for the future. Our ancestors made their mark on the walls of caves as a statement: “We were here, we exist, we think.” If they had the written word we would know just what they thought. While the sounds of many voices echo through the granite escarpments of the Santa Rosa Mountains, as Tahquitz Peak and San Jacinto look down benignly on the small figures below who draw inspiration, peace and comfort from this beautiful valley, long the playground of celebrities from Hollywood’s halcyon days, the Coachella Valley and its unique individuals continue to nurture all who come to bathe in the brilliant sun and magnificent visions. This is inspiration. The short stories, novel excerpts, essays and memoirs and poetry ring of THE WRITING EXPERIENCE 2001.
