Djewess Unchained: ProsenPeople blogs

February 5th, 2013

I’ve been blogging up a storm, writing four posts for last week’s stint as guest blogger for The ProsenPeople, a project of the Jewish Book Council and the Jewish Daily Forward. You can link to them here:

The Beauty of Broken English – I thought I’d entered completely into the world of my novel, until I got questions from Tony, who directed the Tin Horse audiobook.

Book launch at Warwick’s 1/29

The Last Jew of Boyle Heights – Boyle Heights in the 1920s and 30s, the setting for The Tin Horse, was once the Jewish neighborhood in Los Angeles. A few weeks ago, Eddie Goldstein, who was born in Boyle Heights and lived there all his life, passed away. He was known as the last Jew of Boyle Heights.
