Welcome to my writing page.
Throughout my life, I have worn many hats. Writing has become another way for me to make sense of the people, experiences, and unexpected adventures that have shaped my journey.
Stories, music, and a life that keeps surprising me.
Many of you know me through AMANI and my life in music. Writing gives me another way to share the people, experiences, and unexpected turns that have shaped my life, and to imagine a few that haven’t happened at all.
Welcome to my growing collection of books. Some are rooted in family history, some explore unfamiliar worlds, and others give musical instruments a chance to speak for themselves.
"A Love Story for the Ages"
Second Edition
My first book,"A Love Story for the Ages", chronicles my parents’ lifelong love affair and the lessons they passed on to future generations. My parents, Yetta and Sol, shared a love that carried them through nearly fifty years of joy, hardship, mental illness, and the everyday challenges of raising a family.
Inspired by their lives, this deeply personal novella follows their journey from youthful courtship through marriage and parenthood. It is my tribute to two imperfect people whose devotion to one another remains an enduring part of my life.
