FICTION
Stories from the heart

My short-short story, "Condolence Calling," was published in 2009 in the Rose City Sisters flash fiction blog.

"Strangers Among Us" is a short story about testing the bounds of Jewish tradition.

Current projects include "Comfort Food," a novel set Jim Crow-era South Carolina. Read the synopsis.

In addition, I have written a screenplay based on the final section of "Comfort Food." A drama, "Little White Lies" is a story about being a teenager and Jewish in South Carolina during the Civil Rights era.

The protagonist (16-year-old Elysse) defies her parents and participates in a lunch counter sit-in. Her parents "talk the talk" but are unable to "walk the walk" and when Elysse and the housekeeper are arrested, everyone—her parents, the housekeeper and Elysse—is forced to make profound changes.
