Poet - Songwriter - Composer - writer
I was born in Israel and grew up on a kibbutz in the far North in the shadow of the Golan Heights. My passion for the English language began almost from the outset – when I started learning it at the age of eight. Writing itself, as a way of reflecting on life, has always been a real interest, first in Hebrew but after settling in England, in my twenties, I began writing in English.
Writing creatively in English began when teaching English at a Comprehensive school in Maidenhead. Starting with poetry, I then moved on to short stories. Thereafter I braved my way to a first children’s novel and then to Musicals and short plays. I love music and mostly compose with voice and guitar. When it comes it flows easily but further work is always needed. As a writer, my main incentive has been to write authentically; always remaining faithful to my inner truth and the life I observe around me.
On this website you will find a small selection of a range of my writing from poetry to novel to musical. Feel free to browse and contact me for any further information.
