Hello Michelle: Even though this title has been fully digitized at the Yiddish Book Center (see http://www.yiddishbookcenter.org/books/search), there are times, as an author, when I prefer to do my research with hands-on paper sources.

Here is another self-promotion! This book may be especially appealing to the Harry Potter crowd. In "A Handful of Spells" (Savvy Press 2014, 9781939113283), Caitlin Leo struggles to find her place in a world in between Deaf and Hearing, Jewish and gentile ... and magical and "Plod". Kimberley Shaw

Leslea Newman is a professional editor who loves to support new writers -- and really understands how to transmit a "different" point of view to a mainstream audience. She was of enormous help in making my Deaf-themed first novel presentable enough to become published; she makes you work hard, but

Hello all: now I wish my own manuscript had more Jewish content in it! It's well within the "Harry Potter" genre, and it does have a scene where the heroine realizes just how easily Jewish holidays can get swamped by mainstream culture, but her Jewishness isn't really driving the plot.
