Uvi earned her B. A. in Architecture and Town Planning from the Technion in Haifa, Israel and practiced with an innovative Architectural firm, taking a major part in the large-scale project, called Home for the Soldier.

Having moved to Troy, N.Y. with her husband and two children, Uvi received a Fellowship grant and a Teaching Assistantship from the Architecture department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. There, she guided teams in a variety of design projects and earned her M.A. in Architecture. Then, taking a sharp turn in her education, she earned her M.S. degree in Computer Science from the University of Michigan.

She worked first as an architect, and later as a software engineer, software team leader, software manager and a software consultant (with an emphasis on user interface for medical instruments devices.) All the while, she wrote and painted constantly, and exhibited in Israel and California. In addition, she taught art appreciation classes. Her versatile body of work includes bronze and ceramic sculptures, oil and watercolor paintings, charcoal, pen and pencil drawings, and mixed media.

Coma Confidential – Ash Suspense Thrillers with a Dash of Romance Book 1

Ash finds herself in the ER diagnosed with coma. She has no memory of what has happened to her, but what she can do–despite what everyone around her might think–is listen to the conversations of her visitors. One of them is the man who raped her. For Ash, there is little time to gather clues: blackouts are happening not only in the hospital but throughout California. The Russian hackers who are intent on sabotaging the power grid are trying to blackmail her boyfriend, Michael, into helping their cause. And what better way for them to do it but by kidnapping her out of the hospital?

Meanwhile, the cops treat Michael as their prime suspect for the crime. The only reason they haven’t arrested him yet is an urgent call for their assistance in a rescue, as Laguna Beach is engulfed in flames. On his way back to the murder scene, will Michael manage to slip away from them and save his sweetheart, before it’s too late? And will he get the murderer?

My Own Voice – Still Life with Memories Book 1

Ten years ago, when she was seventeen, Anita started an affair with Lenny, in spite of knowing that he was a married man. Now married to him and carrying his child, she finds herself condemned to compete with Natasha’s shadow, the memory of her brilliance back in her prime, before she succumbed to early-onset Alzheimer’s. Despite Anita’s lack of education, her rough slang, and what happened to her in the past, Lenny tries to transform her. He wants her to become Natasha.

Faced with his compelling wish, and the way he writes her as a character in his book, how can Anita find a voice of her own? And when his estranged son, Ben, comes back and lives in the same small apartment, can she escape the love triangle? Can she keep the balance between the two men, whose desire for her is marred by guilt and blame?

Do you like reading a family secrets and romance novel, especially when it is tinged with family saga romance and family sagas historical fiction about the 20th century, with a second chance in love with a strong female lead? Then this family saga series, Still Life with Memories, is for you.

The White Piano – Still Life with Memories Book 2

Coming back to his childhood home after years of absence, Ben is unprepared for the secret, which is now revealed to him: his mother, Natasha, who used to be a brilliant pianist, is losing herself to early-onset Alzheimer’s, which turns the way her mind works into a riddle. His father has remarried, and his new wife, Anita, looks remarkably similar to Natasha—only much younger. In this state of being isolated, being apart from love, how will Ben react when it is so tempting to resort to blame and guilt? “In our family, forgiveness is something you pray for, something you yearn to receive—but so seldom do you give it to others.”

Behind his father’s back, Ben and Anita find themselves increasingly drawn to each other. They take turns using an old tape recorder to express their most intimate thoughts, not realizing at first that their voices are being captured by him. These tapes, with his eloquent speech and her slang, reveal the story from two opposite viewpoints. What emerges in this family is a struggle, a desperate, daring struggle to find a path out of conflicts, out of isolation, from guilt to forgiveness.

Do you like reading a family secrets and romance novel, especially when it is tinged with family saga romance and family sagas historical fiction about the 20th century, with a second chance in love with a strong female lead? Then this family saga series, Still Life with Memories, is for you.

The Music of Us – Still Life with Memories Book 3

In 1970, Lenny can no longer deny that his wife is undergoing a profound change. Despite her relatively young age, her mind succumbs to forgetfulness. Now, he goes as far back as the moment he met Natasha during WWII, when he was a wounded warrior and she—a star, brilliant yet illusive. Natasha was a riddle to him then, and to this day, with all the changes she has gone through, she still is.

“Digging into the past, mining its moments, trying to piece them together this way and that, dusting off each memory of Natasha, of how we were, the highs and lows of the music of us, to find out where the problem may have started?”

To their son, Ben, that may seem like an exercise in futility. For Lenny, it is a necessary process of discovery, one that is as tormenting as it is delightful. He often wonders: can we ever understand, truly understand each other—soldier and musician, man and woman, one heart and another? Will we ever again dance together to the same beat? Is there a point where we may still touch?

This is a historical fiction novel about world war II wounded warrior military romance, a young woman love story. It is also one of family sagas best sellers. Do you like this genre, especially when it is tinged with family saga romance, and wrapped with a second chance in love with a strong female lead? Then this family saga series, Still Life with Memories, is for you.

Dancing with Air – Still Life with Memories Book 4

Serving on the European front, Lenny longs for Natasha, the girl who captured his heart back home. He writes bogus reports, designed to fall into the hands of Nazi Intelligence. To fool the enemy, these reports are disguised as love letters to another woman. This task must remain confidential, even at the risk of Natasha becoming suspicious of him.

Once she arrives in London, Lenny takes her for a ride on his Harley throughout England, from the White Cliffs of Dover to a village near an underground ammunition depot in Staffordshire. When he is wounded in a horrific explosion, Natasha brings him back to safety, only to discover the other woman’s letter to him. He wonders, will she trust him again, even though as a soldier, he must keep his mission a secret? Will their love survive the test of war?

In the past Natasha wrote, with girlish infatuation, “He will be running his fingers down, all the way down to the small of my back, touching his lips to my ear, breathing his name, breathing mine. Here I am, dancing with air.” In years to come, she will begin to lose her memory, which will make Lenny see her as delicate. “I gather her gently into my arms, holding her like a breath.” But right now, during the months leading up to D-Day, she is at her peak. With solid resolve, she is ready to take charge of the course of their story.

Dancing with Air is a standalone WWII historical fiction novel, as well as the fourth volume of a family saga series titled Still Life with Memories, one of family sagas best sellers of all time. If you like family saga romance, wounded warrior romance books, military romantic suspense, or strong female lead romance, you will find that this love story is a unique melding of them all.

Apart from Love – Still Life with Memories Bundle Book 1

His father has remarried, and his new wife, Anita, looks remarkably similar to Natasha—only much younger. In this state of being isolated, being apart from love, how will Ben react to these marital affairs, when it is so tempting to resort to blame and guilt? “In our family, forgiveness is something you pray for, something you yearn to receive—but so seldom do you give it to others.”

Rise to Power – The David Chronicles Book 1

Here is the story of David as you have never heard it before: from the king himself, telling the unofficial version, the one he never allowed his court scribes to recount. In his mind, history is written to praise the victorious—but at the last stretch of his illustrious life, he feels an irresistible urge to tell the truth. In the first volume, Rise to Power, David gives you a fascinating account of his early years, culminating with a tribal coronation. Rooted in ancient lore, his is a surprisingly modern memoir.

In an era of cruelty, when destroying the enemy is deemed a sacred directive, the slayer of Goliath finds a way to become larger than life. His search for a path to power leads him in ways that are, at times, scandalous. Notorious for his contradictions, David is seen by others as a gifted court entertainer, a successful captain in Saul’s army, a cunning fugitive, a traitor leading a gang of felons, and a ruthless raider of neighboring towns who leaves no witnesses behind.

How does he see himself, during this first phase of his life? With his hands stained with blood, can he find an inner balance between conflicting drives: his ambition for the crown, his determination to survive the conflict with Saul, and his longing for purity, for a touch of the divine, as expressed so lyrically in his psalms and music?

Home
Home. A simple word; a loaded one. You can say it in a whisper; you can say it in a cry. Expressed in the voices of father and daughter, you can hear a visceral longing, in poems and prose, for an ideal place. A place never to be found again.

Imagine the shock, imagine the sadness when a daughter discovers her father’s work, the poetry he had never shared with anyone during the last two decades of his life. Six years after that moment of discovery, which happened in her childhood home while mourning for his passing, Uvi Poznansky presents a tender tribute: a collection of poems and prose, half of which is written by her, and half—by her father, the author, poet and artist Zeev Kachel. She has been translating his poems for nearly a year, with careful attention to rhyme and rhythm, in an effort to remain faithful to the spirit of his words.

Zeev’s writing is always autobiographical in nature; you can view it as an ongoing diary of his life. Uvi’s writing is rarely so, especially when it comes to her prose. She is a storyteller who delights in conjuring up various figments of her imagination, and fleshing them out on paper. She sees herself chasing her characters with a pen, in an attempt to see the world from their point of view, and to capture their voices. But in some of her poems, she offers you a rare glimpse into her most guarded, intensely private moments, yearning for Home.

Jess and Wiggle
Written in rhyme, this is a story about a little girl who rarely smiles, till the day she meets Wiggle, an imaginary creature with whom she is having a contest: who will be the one to burst in laughter first?

Once there was a little girl
With the cutest reddish curl
Her name—how could you guess?
It was simply: Jess….

The paintings for the cover and interior pages were done by the author herself. The text is hand-written in a whimsically designed font. When Jess talks, her lines are drawn in a straight line; when Wiggle talks, his lines are drawn on a wiggly curve. Each color illustration is a hand-made collage.

Whether you are looking for a picture book for toddlers or a picture books for kids, a children’s books ages 2-5 or a children’s books ages 4-8, you will find this book fascinating not only to your child but to you as well.

Now I Am Paper
Written in rhyme, this is a children’s book for all ages, about longing for a child who has gone on her way and left the old tree behind. The tree gives voice to love and loss, fear and hope, death and rebirth in a new form, as it is transformed first to pulp and then to paper, the very paper from which the child reads this story. Sensually told, it brings forth the sounds and smells of the forest.

I remember: a gentler sound,
The forest rustling in the rain
Leaves were swirling all around
I heard soft footsteps up the lane…

The paintings for the cover and interior pages are watercolor on paper, done by the author. She drew the text for each verse by hand, in a ‘Gothic’ font that is as flowery as the tree used to be in its prime. Children would love the highly decorative style of the writing, and the sudden long strokes that express the emotions in this story.

Each verse appears on a paper leaf that floats over transparent paper in the shape of an ellipse, which symbolizes a puddle of tears at the foot of the tree.

If you liked The Giving Tree, you will love this picture book for kids, which mothers and fathers find utterly fascinating.

Norah Colvin

Welcome to the School Days, Reminiscences series in which my champion bloggers and authors share reminiscences of their school days. It’s my small way of thanking them for their support and of letting you know about their services and publications.

This week, I am pleased to introduce Joy Lennick, author and poet. Joy joined in the conversations from the outset, sharing snippets from her war-time schooldays. Intrigued to learn more, I invited Joy to join in with a post dedicated to her own reminiscences and she accepted. I’m certain you’ll find them as interesting as I do.

Before we begin the interview, I’ve invited Joy to tell you a little of herself:

From a young age, I was never happier than when reading or writing (and perhaps dancing!). I was evacuated with my two brothers to live on a mountain (Hare) in Wales, being half Welsh on my mother’s…

Sue Vincent's Daily Echo

About climbing boys

During the 1700s and 1800s, mainly male children often performed an occupation known as a climbing boy or chimney sweep. Many of the climbing boys were orphans, and in Great Britain many came from workhouses, and some were as young as 3 years old. As the child needed to be quite small to climb up the chimneys of the time, most climbing boys outgrew this occupation by the time they were nine or ten years old, although due to poor diet, some worked until they were as old as fourteen years.

The life of a climbing boys was dangerous as they climbed hot flues that could be a mere 7 inches square, although 14 inches by 9 inches was a common standard, and they could get jammed in the flue, suffocate or burn to death. The children developed raw, red skinless patches on their bodies from climbing…

SPOTLIGHT Questions and Answers with the Author

Congratulations on your book: Apple-achian Treasure. What do you have on the drawing board next? Rumor has it that you have another book on the horizon called Vegan Baked Alaska. Can you tell us the timeline for its release and give us a little tease?

Vegan Baked Alaska is slated for release on June 21, 2019. Erin needs a little break from everything that has been happening in Bald Eagle Falls (you can only be subjected to so many murders, thefts, fires, and threats before it gets to be a bit much.) She ends up on a cruise to Alaska, far from civilization and criminal conspiracies, where the biggest problem should be that she wasn’t expecting it to be a vegan cruise.

“At least you won’t be stumbling over any bodies on an Alaskan cruise,” Mary Lou had said. But Mary Lou couldn’t have been more wrong.

Sparking an international incident wasn’t quite what Erin had planned for her relaxing vacation, but she is determined to prove that she saw what she did and to bring the culprits to justice.

After Vegan Baked Alaska, I have a couple of YA books coming out over the summer, followed by more books in the Zachary Goldman Mysteries series.

You have a good following on twitter. Since you started before the social media buzz, what impact has social media relationships had on your current success? How did you build your following in your niche? How much has it changed your book launch process?

I’m not the best at Twitter, but I am learning a lot from the launch team for Do No Harm, so look for me to be more involved in the future! I have a nice little following, but I need to give them more content.

You do a lot of book signings, interviews, speaking and personal appearances. When and where is the next place where your readers can see you? Where can they keep up with your personal contacts online?

I am ramping up now for the writer’s conference in Calgary in August, When Words Collide. I have been going to this conference for several years now, and it has produced some great friendships, contacts, and follow-up events. I will probably speak on 3-4 panels. Between now and then, you never know what book clubs or opportunities may pop up. Watch the event feed on my website or my page on Facebook for upcoming events. Or join my mailing list.

You have great covers. They carry a theme and your brand with them. How does your book cover creation process work? Do you hand over the basic theme or do you have more of a hands-on approach? Do you get your readers involved in its development?

I actually do most of my own cover design. I usually work out a title and cover concept before I begin writing the book, which is a great way to inspire myself and give myself something to look at instead of staring blankly at the wall when I am working through a difficult chapter. I then tweak the cover after finishing the book, because sometimes things don’t turn out quite the way I expected. And I have refreshed some of my older covers as trends have changed or when a stand-alone book turns into a series and the original concept doesn’t work for a series.

It has been a fun and productive way for me to exercise my creativity visually as well as through story.

Several of your novels have been converted into audio books. What has been the impact on your regular sales? Has the audio books gained a new audience for you?

I am thinking of getting some of my mystery series converted into audio books, which I think would be a good way to refresh the audience. I love the audio books that I have done so far, but they are in very small niches and don’t sell a lot.

My son said the other day that maybe if I put some of my books out on audio, he would listen to them. I pointed out that I already had books out on audio and now he has to think of a new excuse…

What is your primary genre? What has been your best marketing approach to this group?

Mystery/suspense is my primary genre right now. I started out mostly in YA contemporary, but there isn’t a big audience for YA contemporary without a big publisher doing the marketing. Mystery is easier to sell. I think covers are the biggest selling point, and in some cases, titles. When I told people I was writing Gluten-Free Murder, a lot of them said “I want to read that,” without knowing anything but the title. Good eye-catching, genre-appropriate covers are important. People won’t read your blurb or by the book if it doesn’t grab their attention.

Do you maintain a reader list? What are the methods you use to find your readers and create the list and the relationship? Do you use social media, forums, newsletters and/or support groups to build your list?

I have a newsletter list of around 14,000 people. Many of them have come from multi-author cross promotions, Bookfunnel offerings, or other book magnets. I put out a newsletter every Friday, publish at least two blogs a week, and try to post regularly on Facebook. I plan to do some revamped lead magnets on Facebook to help give my list a bit of a boost.

What is the objective for your newsletter? Do you try to build a list of readers? Do you see a carryover to the sales of your novels?

I want my newsletter subscribers to see me as a trusted source for new book suggestions, issues of the day, and of course my new releases and promos. My website views always go up the day my newsletter goes out, and with certain content, can jump from 100 views in a day to 1200 views. It definitely carries over to book sales as well. And I love to hear my readers’ thoughts on what I have written.

You have published many of your books in other languages. How is your audience abroad? Does marketing online help in this situation?

Marketing foreign language translations can be difficult, and sometimes when I try to run a promo, the price is not adjusted when it is supposed to be, which can cause difficulties. But I do get a trickle of sales of foreign language editions. I have one fellow who bought a Spanish language translation that was featured by a website (which I was unaware of) as part of his learning to speak Spanish. He loved it and made his wife read the English version it so that they could talk about the characters and world that had become so real to him. Then he gave the audio version to his daughter for a present. And of course, he read the rest of my Spanish language translations as well. So, a foreign language translation can have a big effect under the right circumstances!

I like the idea of Author bundles. You are a part of a novel collection called Do No Harm: Seventeen Medical Thrillers with other authors. What a great group of outstanding people. (Many have been interviewed on this blog). What was your main objective in bundling your works with other authors? What blogging, newsletter and social media promotions have you done to promote Do No Harm?

I wanted to reach a wider audience and possibly help launch a bestseller. We had a great author party on Facebook the other day, with each of the authors involved taking over for half an hour or an hour. I have done Facebook and Twitter spotlights, participate with Facebook reader group, and have been featuring a book from the bundle each week on my website and in my newsletter. I have a great landing page on my websitethat I am adding to each week.

Coup de Glace – Auntie Clem’s Bakery Book 6

The trouble with solving murders in a little town like Bald Eagle Falls is that everybody knows about it, and then they expect you to solve their cases too. When Bella brings a new—or rather a cold—case to Erin, she protests that she is not a detective. But Bella really needs her; how could an old woman just have gone missing without anyone following up on it? How could they just accept Ezekiel’s assertion that his wife was fine and she was just off visiting. Eventually, that excuse must have worn out.

Meanwhile, a blast from Erin’s own past—a foster sister Erin would rather not see again—shows up, bringing with her another set of complications.

Tamara ‘s writing experience with DO NO HARM

1. How did you get involved with the Do No Harm collection and this group of authors?

I’ve been lucky enough to work with Judith Lucci in the past and she and Uvi Poznansky recruited me because they wanted a few more authors in the collection. Uvi was responsible for all the graphics, so I was asked to help out with that, since it can be a little overwhelming for one person to do graphics for all the promotion sites and individual authors.

2. What blogging, newsletter and social media promotions will you use to promote Do No Harm?

Too many to write down!! Twitter, Facebook and others including paid promos. NUMEROUS because it is a lot of work when you are trying to make a list. This is not my first time, but it requires everyone working together, which can sometimes be difficult.

3. Would you recommend authors get involved in collections with other authors? What do you believe the rewards are for you? Are there any drawbacks?

The authors in this boxset are aiming for the USA Today Bestseller List. Which can help with targeting better promotions, backing price and gaining more exposure for an author’s books.

The more authors you work with, the more exposure you have to a new audience, this time with crime fiction and thrillers.

I like working with others, and I am a good promoter, so it’s hard for me to say no when I get invited.

Time is always a drawback for me – there is never enough of it!

Here is my interview with Caleb Pirtle III

Another indie author to remember – prolific, talented and a great friend to have

authorsinterviews

Hello and welcome to my blog, Author Interviews. My name is Fiona Mcvie.

Let’s get you introduced to everyone, shall we? Tell us your name.

Caleb Pirtle III

Fiona : What motivates you to write, and how do you get started?

I write for one reason. I can’t keep a secret. I am totally obsessed with hanging around my characters and finding out what secrets they carry with them, what secrets are buried deep in their past. More often than not, those secrets are tangled together to form the basic plot of the story. I don’t care if my hero is tall, dark, and handsome or blonde, sexy, and beautiful. If they don’t have a secret worth keeping and worth stealing, they never show up in the novel. When I start writing, I have already gotten to know my characters and their secrets, so I simply write the first sentence…

A warm and thoughtful spotlight on DO NO HARM by Anna Belfrage

Here is a wonderfully warm, kind and thoughtful shout out for our medical thriller collaboration. Thank you so much Anna Belfrage Originally created and posted https://www.annabelfrage.com/2019/06/07/do-no-harm-a-spotlight/

do no harm 59355236_2348561442081814_3327263301095653376_o (1)Some peeps always go out of their way to support and promote other writers. One such is Christoph Fischer, so when he wondered if I’d be interested in doing a shout-out for a boxed set of medical thrillers to which he has contributed, teh answer was a resounding YES.
Do no harm hit the nr 1 spot the moment it was released – clearly there’s a thirst out there for stories that combine suspense and health…

Personally, I think the title of the boxed set is an apt reminder of what all those working within the various branches of the health profession should always, always have as their lodestar. To judge by the various stories included, this is not always the case – but then mankind is weak when it comes to ambition, greed and thirst for power, and I suppose this applies no matter if you’re an accountant, a writer, a president or a medical professional.
