Anyone know what happened to her? She is my favourite writer by far in the frum world. No one comes near her league in my opinion, but I haven’t seen anything by her lately and I’ve been waiting for years for her serialised stories in the binah to be published in books (one from the civil war era and one about South Africa, unless they are the same) but I haven’t seen anything. Does anyone know if it will ever come out in a book? I don’t get the binah normally so was unable to follow it.

Omg I just thought of her, too! I absolutely loved every single piece she ever published. I especially loved that civil war era series!

She's on here!
She usually takes years to research her book subjects, so hopefully that's where she's at and will update soon Smile

She did just have an article in Binah.
Her books take time to publish because of supplemental history sections. At least the historical ones.

The civil war one was a long time ago, I think I do remember seeing it as a book. It was called Grey Lines, I think?

The South Africa one was epic. I don't remember seeing it as a book. The most recent book I remember seeing in a store was the wedding manager one.

Yeah, I sure hope she publishes it! A Veiled Truth was serialized later and it came out already a few years ago as a book.

What?! It was such a great story, and a long time ago! I wonder why I thought I saw it. Must have been something else. With the amount that goes into these stories, it would be an unspeakable shame for them to disappear with the old magazines.

I am hoping she sees this.. l would love to read Grey Lines I have been waiting for years. I started following it but couldn’t continue and figured it would come out in a book but at this point I am not so sure…

What is the name of the South Africa one? Is that a book?

I think it was The Happiness Cipher. I don't think I saw it as a book. I would really like to though. It was waaaay too good to be disposable.

I'm still waiting for the Gray Lines to come out. I've been waiting since December 2014 when she published an interview in the Lakewood Shopper saying that it would come out in January 2015. It's seven years later and I'm still waiting...

If she's on here I hope she reads this. I love her books. I read very little frum fiction literature because it's so poorly written or too cliché. When I read her books I was like, WOW! a real book! Everything I go into a Jewish bookstore I check to see if there's a book she wrote that I haven't read but sadly, there are no new titles. I hope there will be soon!

Just going to bump this up to see if anyone has any info on when “the happiness cipher” and “the grey lines”are coming out. Would love to read it!
