Born in Birmingham, England, U.K., I began working in journalism a month before the outbreak of the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
I remained in regional Jewish journalism for more than 20 years, leaving full-time writing to help run a family business and then completed a range of general office work.
I emigrated with my husband from Manchester to Israel in March 2010 and live in Karmiel, Galilee where I continue to work from home, concentrating on creative writing.
I feature in Smith Magazine’s new Six Word Memoirs On Jewish Life and contribute to Technorati, Blogcritics and Live Encounters magazine.
