About Me

Greetings to anyone who might be reading this.
Below, you’d find links to a few of the short stories I’ve posted here. As you’ll find out if you read any of them, they are all at various stages of completion, and are all work in progress. If you do read any of them, please leave me some comments, telling me what you liked, if anything, and what you didn’t. You can even give me ideas on how to proceed with a specific story if you care to, and who knows, I might just take some of your ideas and incorporate them into the stories. Of course, you can also leave some constructive criticism, trust me, I can take it.So please go right ahead and enjoy the literary ride you’re about to take, and please come back.And of course before I forget, have a nice day.
Avi

Here is just a bit about me but not too much, I must admit. If you want to know more, please become my friend and I promise to then share a lot more:
I was Born in Israel and raised on a Kibbutz (Alonim). Left Israel in 1979 and moved to the States.
I now live in the big city, but every other week or so, my wife and I, escape the city, and spend the weekend at our house in Vermont.Don't get me wrong, I love New York, but it's great to get out every once in a while.And Vermont is just the place we love.Our house is about twelve miles out of Brattleboro in the southern part of the State.For those of you who have never made it up there, I highly recommend a visit, especially in the fall.Oh, yeah, I almost forgot, I just love to write. To get an idea what I write about, and how I do it, please check out my blogs. Some of them may touch your heart, some, will make you think, and others will make you laugh.To all of you out there, I wish you health and happiness.God Bless,Avi
