New Story and Plans for Three More Tales and a Novel.

7.07.2025

    The photo attached to this post is the upcoming cover of a new story titled “The Ghost of Alster.” And below, you can read a bit about my creative plans for the next couple of months.

    So, my "honeymoon phase" of wondering whether I should write or not — is over. After the release of "Odessa. A Story Written with Closed Eyes", and thanks to your comments on Facebook, I decided: I’m writing.

    At least while the inspiration is alive — and my eyes still shine. And they do, in large part, because of you! I feel like I’ve found my own (maybe slightly odd, but true) style. But whether it truly touches the heart — and the deepest corners of the soul — is something only you can decide, based on your feelings.

    Right now, I’ve given myself a year and set a few ambitious goals:
Stories set in different European cities, a novel, and a whole children’s universe of characters...

    Soon (well — relatively soon), you’ll be able to read:

  • "THE GHOST OF ALSTER" — a story connecting the Inquisition and the present day. Location: Hamburg, Germany

  • "FRAGMENTS OF AN OLD LEGEND" — a fresh take on the eternal search for the Holy Grail. Location: London, UK

  • "THE SOUL OF VENICE" — a unique take on familiar images. Location: Venice, Italy

  • "WHISPER OF THE OLD WALLS" — I’m not ready to share details yet; the bar is too high. But I’ll try. Location: Jerusalem, Israel

    In the children’s series, your kids will meet a new world of characters and magical adventures. A whole universe they just might fall in love with.

    And the novel will be titled “THE LAST YEAR ON PLANET EARTH.” A kind, hopeful story with a slightly melancholic, life-affirming ending. And definitely a story that leaves something special in every heart and soul.

    See you in the new worlds of my imagination — and thank you for reading!
