The Second Novel


Given that I am reaching the end of the writing of my second novel , I am proud and glad to announce for the first time its name:
It is called Under Philadelphi Road. It is written in the first person from the eyes of Ismail, a Palestinian boy who together with friends digs a tunnel under the border between Israel and Egypt in order to smuggle out goods to earn some money. When the tunnel collapses, Ismail is trapped on the other side of the border, in Egypt. As he takes the reader on his life's journey, the reader starts to understand that Ismail has been born for a very special purpose.

I will be creating a separate blog for Under Philadelphi Road so please stay tuned :)

Blessings!

Yes, this week appears to be the week of the interviews :)

Yesterday I was interviewed by Suchitra Chaudhary of Gulf News in Dubai for their magazine Friday. The interview will appear on 3rd June. Today, Marjolein Balm, book blogger and reviewer extraordinaire, interviewed me via skype. Her review should appear tomorrow on her blog. Last week, I was interviewed by Tali Barnett, the editor of The Cape Jewish Chronicle. That article will be published in their next edition.

I'll keep you posted!

Radio Interview, Book Review, Book Launch

Today I was informed by a very nice reporter of a local newspaper that I will be invited soon for a radio interview. This is great news and I am really looking forward to it, besides me being a bit nervous :)

In addition, a number of copies of the book are now for sale at The Bay Bookshop in Hout Bay, Cape Town. They have organised for a book review to be done in a popular magazine. More great news. Wow!

To add to the above, the owners of the above fabulous book store have offered to do the book launch in their store at The Cape Quarter in Green Point. What more can ask for? The launch will take place later on in the year.

I will keep you all posted :)
