Double Your Creative Power is an intelligently written, erudite, step-by-step guide to creating fiction. This book demystifies the process of successful storytelling and eliminates the fear of writing.

A classic roman noir, brilliantly imagined, The Boss's Wife is a  tangle of sex, computer shenanigans, and a measure of murder that teases, tantalizes and titillates.

A novel about an Israeli accused of conspiring with the Nazis, The Collaborator is brilliant, imaginative, fast-paced, and an excellent all-round read, with style and substance. Compelling, frightening and stunning, it's a genuine spellbinder with a shock ending that will leave readers gasping. Also available as an audiobook.
