AJL Authors Showcase

On November 9, 2021, I was delighted to talk about Jacob and the Mandolin Adventure in the AJL Authors Showcase! We presented our books for young people, and what a wonderful variety there was: fiction and non-fiction; picture books, middle-grade books, and YA books. I’m looking forward to reading many of the books mentioned last night. Thanks to Heidi Rabinowitz and Ellen Drucker-Albert for organizing this terrific event, and Sylvie Shaffer for her warm and intelligent moderating!

YouTube video of interview: Jacob and the Mandolin Adventure

I’m pleased to share the YouTube interview that Ellin Bessner did with me and Dave Fleishman about Jacob and the Mandolin Adventure. It was a delight to discuss how I researched and wrote this historical novel as well as the “back story” about Morris Saxe. Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nqm8Dpz7q8E

I hope you’ll enjoy watching this video. Please tell friends and colleagues who might be interested.
