Always a pleasure to get some good news:
Marianne Holmes, a friend and north Florida resident, reports a book club in her town is reading and discussing “A Hebraic Obsession.” I have been waiting for this to happen for over two years.
Unite” received praise from the director of the Flagler Film Festival Kathryn Barry:
“Flagler Film Festival Wow! Does this make us feel great!!!! Thank you so much for telling your story. We know you are a great storyteller because you did so with “The Stairs.” And it was a pleasure and honor to meet you!!”
Kathryn shared the story with this note: To all the artists (of all kinds) in Flagler County, this one is for you:(With gratitude to Mort Laitner)
“I think you will appreciate this!! It’s fantastic.”
Thanks Kathryn Barry for your very kind words.
The News Tribune— Community Section—Flagler Film Festival Entries Span the Globe— printed, “The festival also will feature thought-provoking films such as “The Stairs” which offers a view of the Holocaust through the eyes of a ten-year-old listening to his father’s firsthand accounts.”
After reading the story, Danielle Anderson, of the Daytona Beach News-Journal wrote, “That is amazing!”
Thanks Danielle.
Michelle Brown, on-air personality at Surf 97.3 “The Sound of the Surf” posts the story on her Facebook page and writes:

It is fun to watch a story or a book grow wings and fly away.
