Canadian Jewish Literary Awards, Canadian Jewish Women Writers, Rona Arato

On Sunday October 27, 2024, I attended the Canadian Jewish Literary Awards (CJLA) event at the Miles Nadal JCC in Toronto. It was a wonderful event, celebrating authors who have published masterful works this past year. Here’s Sidura Ludwig, winner in the Youth category for her heartwarming book, Rising, with me and Rona Arato, good friend and CJLA jury member. Thanks to Edward Trapunski, jury members, winners, and organizers for a truly memorable event filled with joy and gratitude! For more information about the CJLA, go to: https://cjlawards.ca/

Signing “44 Hours or Strike!” at the OLA Conference

44 Hours or Strike, Patrick Crowe, Rona Arato, Second Story Press, Ship to Nowhere, Susanna Moodie

I was thrilled to meet two fellow authors from Second Story Press at the OLA Conference last week in Toronto. Patrick Crowe, has written a moving graphic biography of Susanna Moodie’s, Roughing It in the Bush.  My writer-friend, Rona Arato, was signing her new book, The Ship to Nowhere: On Board the Exodus.  Both authors tell their stories through skilful prose and remarkable illustrations.
